  • Google Docs are great guys!

    I highly recommend using google docs as a writing tool. I use it for writing essays, novels, and simply planing life. Google docs help me sort my work into segments and focus on what I need to do. Plus you can also use google docs on your phone! The on the go version is an amazing tool as I am a busy person and when an idea pops into my head I can put it straight into my document!
    Again I highly recommend! It’s amazing!

  • Great but wish for a few extra features

    Great app I use it daily to write but would be great if there was an option for a lock as I don't really want anyone seeing what I write. would love it if I could access the version history through the app instead of through my computer and it gets very glitchy when the writing is long (I write fanfic so I have quite a few long stories and it sometimes can take a while to write more) and folders/files, it would be good to be able to separate the documents by each show instead of colour coordination

  • It’s really good but has 1 fault that doesn’t make it excellent - crashing

    I even prefer google docs more than word now for various reasons. First is that its free, second is that is syncs so you can open the same document on any devices as long as you sign in to your gmail account which is a lot better than word as you can’t open the document elsewhere unless you saved it on a flash drive or an online drive. And I like the presentation.

    The downside is the unexpected crashes, and I’ve realised it only crashes or me when I try to highlight a text. Especially on the version for phones and iPads. I use my iPad with keyboard to do most of my school work, and when highlighting the document will close down and go back to the homepage. It does it every other time I highlight something which is quite annoying because it interrupts my efficiency and fluidity of my work. I hope Google sorts that out and then it will be excellent

  • Okay

    I’ve been using Google Classroom for a few years by now, and although Google Clasroom is main place where all of my classes are located and it does make it easy for me to access certain things, Google Classroom takes awfully long to load for certain things (eg. Missing assignment tab or some classes) and even a certain glitch in witch it says the classroom is unavailable and I get kicked out, although I have clearly been enrolled in that classroom previously. Today I was working on an assignment and was kicked out unexpectedly from my page. Upon loading back into clasroom and into the assignment, I had come to find out that all of my progress had been lost that I had worked on for an hour or so. Please fix your auto save, and everything else.

  • Can’t see the menu anymore :(

    After the recent update I have stopped being able to use the menu to see my word count and change the view. Hopefully this is fixed with the next update because aside from this issue, it is my favourite document writing app!
  • why can’t I just use the freaking site !!

    I hate the fact the across on google add one such as maps , slides etc that you have to get the app on the phone !! Like omg why can’t I just use it online and it somehow just stops working cause it continues to say go to the app download the app I wish that google would just let us use it on the browser instead of having to go through all this trouble of downloading logging in just something to think about !!

  • Waste of time

    The incompatibility of ios and google makes this app horrible, the keyboard delay makes deleting small things require a counted press of the backspace button and many other things, the inability to zoom out to see the document in full is infuriating, giving a claustrophobic feeling, and assigning multiple actions to key buttons/ motions makes editing documents a struggle, that coupled with apple software battling with google software on text editing make any minor changes impossible without being excruciatingly slow. I did a test, I made two identical documents and planned identical changes to both, it was faster to boot up my laptop and make the changes than the app 3 fold, bad adaptation to a useful application.

  • Picture wont show up on desktop when inserted through phone

    Okay so when covid first started and I was in school, a lot of my teachers wanted me to take pictures of my work. For example if I was in art, I’d need to take a picture of my drawing. Id take said picture and attach it into the google doc using the insert image feature. However, this is where the problem started. I’d attach my work in the doc (using my phone) and my teacher would say it wasn’t submitted. Because of this my grades started dropping. Of course i was like “what the heck?” And when I’d look at the document on desktop, it’d be blank. Like I hadn’t added the picture at all. And this happened continuously even when I spoke to my teachers about the issue. Of course this made it 10 times harder to insert my class work that needed a picture into google docs BUT FOR PETES SAKE PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM!!! I don’t know if it’s because the document was added to my google classroom assignment.. IDK but thanks a lot. 💀

  • Almost Perfect 4.9/5

    This app is amazing on computer - a bit harder to use on mobile devices but basically flawless otherwise. A suggestion for future updates: having a toggle option for the outline on the left hand side and within the document. For example, if I made a “Heading 1” and underneath I had 3 “Heading 2’s”, a toggle option would allow me to hide the “Heading 2’s” instead of having them all displayed at once. It would make things neater and easier to navigate.
