Infraware Co.,Ltd has announced the all-new POLARIS Office 5 with more powerful document editing tools, enhanced Microsoft Office compatibility, faster document loading, and a lot more.

Suitable for work on the go on any iOS device, POLARIS Office 5 has workaholics covered on pretty much every aspect.

“With powerful document editing features and excellent Microsoft Office compatibility, POLARIS Office 5 is the best mobile office solution for iPhone and iPad,” says Infraware.

“For easy use on mobile devices, quick access to email-attached files, cloud storage integration, file manager, and other convenient functions have been added.”

In addition to offering compatibility with Microsoft Office documents, Polaris includes more than 500 powerful editing functions and is capable of 300 data analysis instances. It supports cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box, and offers great presentation tools, all in a simple and intuitive design.

Version 5.0.0 without a doubt is the biggest POLARIS Office update to date. It brings support for iOS 7.0.x firmware (and actually requires at least iOS 7 to run, starting with this version), and offers enhanced Microsoft Office compatibility.

Document loading and responsiveness are also improved, and the suite now includes 160 kinds of extra characters borrowed from desktop suites.

Version 5 further offers convenient keypad support for sheet formula, conditional formatting, and shows a reference error when the situation calls for it.

Various screen rotation effects are now available, and users can preview object animations. Other new features include: memo for Word and Sheet, the ability to insert 20 kinds of charts for Word, preview of 24 kinds of chart styles for Sheet and Slide, and smart guidelines for Slide. Users can also insert video and play function for Slide.

Editing support includes file extensions like doc/docx, xls/xlsx, ppt/pptx, and txt. Viewing (but not editing) support includes PDF and hwp.

Supported languages include English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Hebrew and Korean. Input languages are borrowed from iOS, so whatever Apple supports, POLARIS supports as well.

As far as device compatibility is concerned, POLARIS Office 5.0.0 works with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPad second-generation, iPad third-generation, iPad fourth-generation, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display, and iPod touch-fifth generation.
