Documents To Go v. 2 for BlackBerry Now Available!

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:10:07 -0500

Yesterday was an exciting day for us at DataViz. Over the last year or so we've been collecting feedback about our Documents To Go application for BlackBerry. By far, our most requested feature was desktop file synchronization. That became a priority for us for version 2 and we're proud to say that upgrade is now available!

Documents To Go version 2 not only allows you to sync files with your desktop to keep your info up to date, it also includes an Enhanced PDF To Go application and support for password protected Office 2007 files. On top of all that, we also included an app called Documents To Go files, which makes it easier than ever to manage your documents on your BlackBerry.

Even with all of these enhancements, we've kept the price at $69.99. And, if you already own Documents To Go Premium Edition (for ANY platform) you can buy Documents To Go v. 2 for only $29.99. Of course, there's also still a 30 day free trial so you can test it out before you buy!

We'll post more details, screenshots, and customer reviews over the coming weeks!

A while back we showed you a video touting some of the new features we're bringing to Android: namely PDF and PPT support. Well, today is the day! Documents To Go 2.0 is now available in the Android Market. If you've already purchased Documents To Go in the past, this is FREE!

We've added support for viewing of PDFs and viewing/editing of PowerPoint files. We've also added a live folder which will give you easy access to recently used files (along with some minor optimizations that should make everything run a little quicker!)

On top of all this, we're also bringing FREE Word and Excel viewers to all Android users! Here's how it works: just go up to the Android Market and download Documents To Go 2.0. The app download is FREE for everyone! When you install you'll have access to the viewers. If you'd like to activate the editing portion of 2.0, just purchase the unlock key for $29.99 and edit to your hearts content!

"By introducing a free viewer edition as well as a full version with premium capabilities, we are able to make Documents To Go accessible to all Android device users around the world." - Ilya Eliashevsky, Product Manager, DataViz, Inc.

So far the app has been well received. In fact, Matt Miller from ZDNet called it, "the BEST mobile Office suite I have ever seen on a mobile device".

BlackBerry Users: Tell Us Your Story

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:25:26 -0500

Don't worry BlackBerry fans; we know there's been a lot of iPhone and Android news lately but we're hard at work on enhancements for Documents To Go for BlackBerry. In fact we want to hear your story just to make sure we're on the right track.

The other day we started a Facebook discussion that we'd love to have you to take part in. We want to hear how you use Documents To Go in your everyday life, what you love about it and what we could do to make it even better. We're looking at this more from a usability point of view rather than new features, but sometimes they're one in the same.

And while you're on our Facebook page we have a little poll question we'd love you blackberry users to take a look at (we actually posted about this yesterday)

Not a Facebook user? That's OK, just leave your thoughts as a comment right here! Thanks in advance for your comments!

Hey BlackBerry Users: We Need Your Help!

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:35:20 -0500

We're working hard on updates for the BlackBerry version of Documents To Go and we're asking for your help to make sure we get you exactly what you need.

For starters, we want to know what type of encryption settings you have set on your BlackBerry smartphone. Here's how you can check:

1. Select "Options" on your device. Sometimes this is within a folder called "Settings".
2. Select "Media Card" or "Memory" from the menu (whichever you see).
3. The second line on the screen should say "Encryption Mode".
4. What do you have selected for "Encryption Mode"?

After you check, head on over to our Facebook Page and answer the poll question (become a fan while you're there!). Or, if you'd rather just leave a comment here to let us know what you found, that's OK too! Thanks in advance to all who help!

Documents To Go for iPhone/iPod Touch!

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 10:28:55 -0500

Now available in the App Store as low as $4.99!

If you've been following us on Twitter or Facebook then you already know this, but in case you haven't heard, Documents To Go was approved and added to Apple's App Store Sunday afternoon. In just 24 hours, Documents To Go reached #1 in its respective categories (Productivity and Business).

We released two versions of Documents To Go. They are identical except for the fact that one allows you to access your Exchange email attachments so you can view, edit and resend them (a huge feature for enterprise users).

Both versions allow you to edit Microsoft Word files (including 2007/2008 formats) and allow you to view multiple file types. If you're looking for Excel editing, don't fret; it will be added as a FREE update as soon as its ready.

Documents To Go (App Store Link) is available now for an insanely low limited time price of $4.99! (App Store Link) Documents To Go w/ Exchange Attachments is available for only $9.99 (both will get the Excel editing update for FREE).

More info, videos and other exciting stuff to come!
