Readdle releases Documents 6 and introduces drag and drop between its applications
Someone already seems to have heard it in part, but it’s not about Apple, at least for now. It is always Readdle that has made good surprises for Apple users in the last couple of years and not just that. The first is the release of the sixth version of the Document App.
The Odessa company has significantly enhanced its product, making it very close to a Finder for iOS. Documents 6 is able to handle almost all major file types, both locally and cloud services. In this regard, Readdle worked on the interface to make it easier to do the most common operations, such as folder creation, compression into ZIP files, and sharing with other contacts.
The navigation view has more generous previews in its dimensions, making it clear the contents of the file even without opening it. Another feature is the ability to choose which application to open the content, allowing you to overcome the default system choices; This also works on the cloud, removing the need to download a local copy of the file.
An analogue feature has been implemented for multimedia content saved on network paths, making streaming. Lastly, if you have the latest version of installed PDF Expert, you can be leverage its advanced Annotation options directly in Documents without jumping back and forth between the two apps.
We skipped a feature, as it joins the second Readdle surprise. Drag and drop content among its applications has been implemented. This means, for example, that if we have an iPad with support for Split View mode, we can attach Documents and Spark to quickly drag one or more documents to attach to a composite email message.
A very useful feature limited to the only Readdle ecosystem, and which we hope will serve as a sprint for Apple in order to elevate it to the system level. Documents 6 is available free of charge on the App Store, as well as Spark 1.8; Updates of PDF Expert and Scanner Pro are, at no cost, only for those who have purchased the most-recent major releases.
