In my humble opinion, Polaris is garbage. Here are two options (1) download QuickOffice or (2) set up a free Office 365 account and then download the complementary app. Additionally, as a student, you can get a 4-year Office 365 student account for $80. Here is the link:

Microsoft Office 365 University

This would be the better option but, if you do not have an .edu email account (or if you do not meet their other criteria), then stick with the free version or get QuickOffice.
