    This app is good but google has their own phones why do you guys use apples phones for your pictures 😂
  • Meh.

    The only reason I use Google Docs over programs like Pages and Word is that my school system uses it and I have unlimited storage for Google Docs in my drive (which by the way is great). But the app is just sooooo s l o w. I don’t know if this is an issue with my iPad (which has plenty of performance issues itself) or with the app, but it’s nearly unusable for me. When I use my bluetooth keyboard with it the text is very laggy (or with the onscreen keyboard for that matter) and text editing is an iOS 12-style nightmare. You can’t drag your finger over text to select it like in iOS 13, you have to tap on the cursor, select “Select,” and then drag over all the text you want to select (which is very slow and laggy). I would really appreciate a couple of features, like viewing the same app in multiple spaces in iPadOS (because I find myself needing to look at multiple docs at once more and more these days) or at least some kind of similar system and a better Explore feature like on desktop. And as several other people have mentioned the text correction is nowhere near perfect. It always marks weird things as grammatically incorrect that are perfectly fine. Google please please please please listen and thanks for reading

  • Great layout, easy to use...but lacking

    I have been a huge fan of Google Docs for about 6 years, using it primarily for school and research. I recently bought an iPad Pro to help my productivity, using Google Docs as one of my main word processing apps. So far, I enjoy the app very much, as it is very smooth and simple to use (the layout is very clean). However, the main complaint I have is that the app is very limited in comparison to its desktop counterpart, mainly the lack of the ability to use add-ons. I am dependent on add-ons like Paperpile or XLMiner Analysis (for Sheets) and am pretty disappointed it is not available for the apps. I think this would be a fairly simple feature to add in the future. In addition, I feel like it is not showcasing the full capabilities of the iPad Pro as it can. Overall, great app but seriously lacking in certain areas compared to the desktop version.

  • FANTASTIC

    I absolutely LOVE google docs. I recently purchased a laptop that works alongside chrome and so , set up an email and therefore got the google drive. I would highly recommend doing this. No fees, just the two min sign up. Google docs is apart of my student life and I’m only an art student, I write many things up on the go, working from an iPad , docs means I can do this offline on the go and then the next day can work on it more. You can work on docs anywhere as long as you sign in. It’s so simple and easy to use keeping it basic but with more complex ideas to explore. For me it tops word documents any day!!! Plus it saves every second your working so no scares in losing work !!

  • Love it, but crashes often

    I’m a writer and google docs is my go-to for writing. I love it, it’s simple and accessible from any device and saves automatically so I don’t lose anything if I accidentally close out.
    Actually, it’s pretty much perfectly me except for the fact that it starts lagging a bit if my document begins getting too long (I’ve had to start writing the second part of a story in a separate document which can get sort of annoying but also it’s not The Worst), AND that also brings me to the point of y review: this app crashes on me All. The. Time. I’ll be writing, and suddenly my screen will go black and then I’m on my home screen bc. Well, it crashed. No clue why, it’s happened on so many occasions with all different sized of documents, it just happens, and it’s so annoying because sometimes it kills y writing groove, you know? It’s be great if this could possibly be fixed. Happens on both iphone and iPad, probably more often with longer documents (maybe a hundred pages idk) but has also happened with shorter ones. I’ve been writing for maybe four hours and it’s happened to me three times today. Again, it’s definitely not a deal breaker, I love docs and I’ll never go for anything else, but it is super irritating.

  • I use this app a lot

    I write original works and fan fics, and this app lets me work on them at any point. Just waking up and I have an idea, just hopping out of the shower, in the line at the store, lunch break, moments of clarity while gardening, you get the point. Since the first time I’ve used this app, to the many years later, I have stopped worrying about forgetting some idea I had before I get to my computer. Even if my phone is offline, I have been able to work on my stories. I think it really is my most used app on my phone. Also, because it auto saves, I HAVE NEVER HAD MY STORIES DISAPPEAR! Unlike other writing programs, that have lost me hours of work because of a blue screen, freezing, or other issues, I have never had the pain of opening a Google Doc and finding all my work gone. I do wish it had a better way to organize your files, as what it does have seems “meh.” But, at least, it has some form of organization. Lastly, I love that I can share the doc in various ways. This has been so helpful for me when I comes to sharing my stories. It lets those who are my beta reader comment and make suggestions, those who I wrote for have full access, and those who I want to let just read all have their own set of restrictions.

  • Good but one suggestion

    This is very useful for me when I need to get things done.

    I am a helper for a roblox developer and we all use this but we have a suggestion we’d like to be added.

    We ask if you could let us choose our own font colours instead of the preset ones because we made our plans for stuff in real life on pen and paper because we could have different coloured pens which would mean different things and we had something in a colour of blue that doesn’t exist in the app.
    (the colour was the colour that roblox studio calls “cyan” and don’t tell me I could’ve just used the colour that looked like “toothpaste” because that already means something else)
    Without letting us use our own custom colours makes our ideas look very dull because the substitute we had to use was this ugly greyish blue colour that looks more like the roblox colour “sand blue” which first of all is a nice colour but it just looks boring and dull next to all the other bright and colourful colours.
    Oops I think I just wrote a whole book by accident sorry...

  • Good app, but things need to change.

    This app is, very accessible and can be used anywhere. But it’s very slow, it’s laggy. And it’s not that I have a bad and lag device I’m on an IPad Air 2. And something that has really put me off is that when I highlighted my whole docs the app completely crashed. And for some reason everything that was highlighted was completely deleted? I’ll be leaving a 1 Star for now because I’ve really been put off by this.
