Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS Smart Documents, WPS supports adding comments, replying, emoji reactions, resolving and hiding comments, copy/edit/delete actions, and viewing all comments with status filters. | Word for iPhone supports adding, reading, replying to, and deleting comments. | Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports adding, editing, replying to, resolving, filtering, and deleting comments, and also supports emoji reactions and action items. | Notion supports page comments, inline comments, replies, resolve or re-open actions, and comment filtering in the comments pane. | Acrobat on mobile supports viewing, filtering, replying to, editing, deleting, and resolving comments, and supports @ tagging in replies. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines emoji reactions, resolve-and-hide behavior, more comment actions, and a full comments view in one document review flow for mobile editing. | Compared with WPS: the cited Word page clearly covers add, reply, and delete actions, but it does not highlight emoji reactions or comment filtering on the same page. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs offers a broader comment workflow with action items; WPS keeps common document review actions in a more focused in-document flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward page collaboration and workspace discussions than document text review in an office document editor. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is stronger for PDF review workflows, while WPS is more direct for commenting inside editable Smart Document content. |
