The 2026 “NOVA” Feature Set

The 2026 release introduces the NOVA AI engine, a centralized assistant that brings generative power to your documents:

• AI Write & Summarize: Generate entire drafts from keywords or summarize long reports into bullet points instantly.
• Text-to-Image (Nano Banana Studio): Create custom images for your presentations by simply typing a description.
• Advanced PDF Toolkit: Not just a reader—convert PDFs into editable Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files and back again.

Pros & Cons

The Pros (Why Download?)	The Cons (What to Know)
Exceptional Mobility: The best-rated mobile office app in 2026, offering almost all desktop features on a smartphone.	Freemium Limits: The free version includes ads and limits your monthly document saving/editing (2GB limit on the “Smart” plan).
All-in-One AI (NOVA): Integrates multiple AI models (GPT-5, Claude 4, and Stable Diffusion) into a single interface.	Internet Dependence: While it has an offline mode, its best features (AI and Cloud Sync) require an active connection.
Lightweight Build: Occupies significantly less disk space than Microsoft Office or LibreOffice, making it ideal for thin-and-light laptops.	Privacy Trade-offs: Unlike open-source suites, Polaris uses data for analytics and advertising in the free tier.
Diverse File Support: Beyond MS Office, it is one of the few suites that natively supports HWPX (standard in Korea) and ODT.	Simplified Advanced Tools: Power users may find the spreadsheet formula depth and pivot table options thinner than in Excel or Calc.
