Polaris Office?

I thought I saw Polaris Office as installed software on the Sony S. Can't seem to find it or not even on Google Play.

Any tips? Any better apps?
 
I downloaded Kingsoft Office (free) from the Play Store. It works fine to open all those Microsoft Office products. That's all I really need.
 
I have a pretty new Samsung Galaxy S3, on Verizon. The Polaris Viewer came pre-installed, but as near as I can tell, it doesn't show up anywhere as an app. But if you use the file manager to open a file with an extension like .doc or .pdf, it will open in Polaris. It seems very good for viewing documents, but so far, using that way of opening it, I can't get it to work for editing (I can't even get a keyboard to appear).
 
I used Samsung Apps on my SGSIII to install Polaris Office (4.0.3209.05). I don't usually create or edit documents on my phone, but I do view them quite a bit. I found Polaris to be a bit better than Documents To Go Pro, Office Suite Pro, or QuickOffice Pro.

Now I'm just trying to figure out if I'm running the latest version. I think they're up to 4.0.8, but I'm not sure if that's for Android or iOS. I'll see what I can discover.
