I did have the 2.0.1 (170412) build, and it was just as "crashy", I did find the main cause to be hidden rows and colums. When I unhide them on the desktop version and reopen them in iOS, the seem to be much more stable, but there are still occasional unexplained crashes, especially when opening .xltx files.
Also, why is internet require to generate a PDF from the worksheet. Generating PDFs and sharing them with other apps and devices while offline is a cruical part of my workflow, seems like a huge downgrade from 1.31
other minor complains:
Double tapping a cell does not highlight its contents to be overwritten. In 1.31 cells with calculated values could be quickly overwritten by double tapping and entering in new values. Now the process requires either deleting the entire formula, or double tapping to bring up the keyboard, then tap elsewhere, and then tap back to the desired cell and overwrite with the "new" in cell editing function.
- Please add a option to hightlight the entire cell content with a double tap
PDF generation and Print layout options selections are not saved. Having to select orienation and scaling options each time I want to generate a PDF is a pain, another function present in 1.31
- Please save the previsouly selected layout options selections so future prints and PDF generation are defaulted to the previously slected options
Please either just give us 1.31 back, or fix these issues ASAP!
