Differences between Files Pro and Documents Pro

[ennig]

I understand that Files HD was the iPad version of Files Pro, before Files Pro was universal. But now that Files Pro is universal and Files HD turned into the new Documents Pro (which is also universal), what's the differences between them? Or is this just so that everyone can upgrade to universal for free, no matter which app they'd bought before (assuming they'd only bought one)? And if someone like me has both universal apps now - which one is recommended?

You're correct that at the moment Files Pro and Documents Pro are essentially identical. Because Apple provide no means of "upgrading" users to another application we had no choice but to keep both apps on the App Store. "Files HD" didn't seem quite right for a universal app, hence the name change.

Going forward we plan to give Documents Pro more of a business focus. So for existing customers who have both apps we'd probably recommend staying with Files Pro.
