Trip report

We reached Adama before noon and met the team at the office.

The new system was installed on all twelve computers.

Try it: tap a line above and type. Editing in the app works the same way, one paragraph at a time.

Four kinds of file, one small app

Pick a file type to see what you can do with it.

Read, search and mark up

Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password.

  • Zoom, search for a word, jump to any page, and read in night mode.
  • The app remembers the page where you stopped.
  • Add text anywhere on a page, in English or Amharic.
  • Stick a yellow note on a page, or highlight an area.
  • Cover old text and type new text over it.
  • Undo takes back your last change.

Your files are your business

Many document apps want an account, your storage and a connection. DocuMela asks for none of them.

No account

Install the app and open a file. There is nothing to sign up for.

No storage permission

You choose each file yourself. The app cannot look through the rest of your phone.

Nothing is uploaded

Reading, editing and converting all happen on the phone, so it works without internet.

Ten themes for a new presentation

Choose a look, type your title and points, and present. The file opens in PowerPoint as well.

Turn one kind of file into another

Conversion runs on the phone. The new file keeps your content in a clean, simple layout.

Good to know before you install

  • Word documents are shown in a reading view, not as the printed page.
  • Converted files keep the content, not the exact design of the original.
  • Older .doc, .xls and .ppt files are not supported.
  • The app is free and shows ads on the home screen and between files, never on top of an open document.
