Updates Are Good- MiGhtyDocs Gets Offline Access

I came down kind of hard on MiGhtyDocs a few days ago. The reason? The main reason for my downloading it, the ability to view my Google Docs offline, didn’t work. Sure it made viewing my documents easy when  a data connection was available but the real power, the real purpose, the real funtionality was the ability to cache documents for offline access. Whenever I tried to view them with the connectivity turned off I got an error msg.

I wrote the post and sent the link to the developer who was kind enough to respond quickly. The issue, he/ she said was that… it didn’t work. (No kidding) There was a bug, I was told, and while the fix had been submitted to the App Store it had not been released nor was the description updated to reflect the the fact that it was not ready for prime time.

Well, a quick check of the App Store just now revealed that the fix was indeed released. I download the update, input my GDocs account info and… there my docs were. I openned a few from within MiGhtyDocs and then shut off the data connection. And, like magic, when I opened MiGhtyDocs again those documents that I HAD opened were still available. Nice!
