I would find it very useful if MobileSheets displayed the numeric values of the four crop borders as the user dragged them around, and even more useful if the user were also allowed to edit these values directly (as an alternative to dragging the borders, which can be hard to do precisely).
I just had a quick look at the database, and from what I can tell, the crop values are internally stored as the distance of each crop border from the upper-left corner of the page, expressed in points (1/72" units). I'd be fine with seeing these values displayed and edited directly as points; however, it would be best to have the right and bottom values expressed in the UI as distances from their respective edges (even if the internal data format does not change).
For example, a crop of half an inch on all four sides of the page would be seen in the UI as the following four fields (possibly positioned around the edges of the page, or maybe in a list on the side):
Top: [36]
Right: [36]
Bottom: [36]
Left: [36]
