Despite purchasing 365 subscription model specifically so my docs would sync between devices, I find they sync maybe 40% of the time. I have the doc open on my computer and it's been extensively edited, my computer says it's been saved and uploaded to the cloud, and on my phone I am being shown the document from a month ago. Threw my money away for this. And now, to add insult to injury, it's added copilot to the app. I can't find the setting to turn it off, and it keeps popping up.

Word is the go-to, of course, but the app version is annoying, particularly with the keyboard disappearing frequently without a convenient retrieval. Now the Smart Lookup isn't working. That's making me look for an alternative. Somebody has to get the auto-correct to stop automatically changing its to it's, like it just did here.

Bad, just terrible, I was hoping this would be the ship to jump to after the maddening change of Google Docs changing their quotation marks from straight to curly to slanted and enforcing it with auto-correct. Moving text position is slow, copying a Doc to Word and editing it is driving me crazy, it added paragraph breaks randomly, and I have to backspace five times for a one (1) line break to restore a butchered paragraph to it's wall of text glory.
