*2026-08-21, version 1.2026.33101*

I am new to spreadsheets and a bit nervous about tech but I’m working on it

### 2/5 — Formats and printing options

*2026-08-19, version 1.2026.33101*

The format options are only symbols,  the page layout is missing the portrait and landscape option

### 3/5 — Please fix latest bug!

*2026-08-19, version 1.2026.33101*

I love using this app for my personal budget; however, I am I bit annoyed that the “enter text or formula” bar blocks the other formatting settings when clicking one cell. I like to highlight cells for organization and this prevents that. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Pls fix the bug

*2026-08-19, version 1.2026.33101*

Recently when using Google Sheets app, iPad external keyboard + traditional chinese Zhuyin+ space cannot convert chinese characters, the whole sentences disappear when using the space

### 3/5 — Não consigo trocar as cores na tabela na versão de iphone

*2026-08-18*

Quando coloco para mudar a opção de cor na tabela, no iphone antes eu conseguia. Hoje nao consigo mais porque o
botão de"escrever" sobrepõe o de "trocar cor". Iphone 14 pro max

### 2/5 — Lost years of data

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

I kept several folders of data from work for years but somehow the  files aren’t showing up in my Google Sheets.

### 5/5 — The best service one can do for Hatzaloh membership.

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

The best organization there is in this world. A volunteer lifesaving organization in a local area.

### 5/5 — Grok it!

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

I rarely used Google Sheets til Grok, now I have incredible data keeping by xAI.  For example it examines my portfolio and gives me incredible tax drag insight and that lets me make moves based on the info it populates in the sheet for each and every ticker.

### 5/5 — Free and powerful!

*2026-08-15, version 1.2026.32101*

I remember the old days when computer spreadsheets were a major headache.  And then came Excel, which you now how to pay for every year.  Thank goodness for Google Sheets!  I'm retired so I mostly use it for such things as managing my finances, and keeping a record of books I've read and trips I've taken.

### 5/5 — Sheets

*2026-08-15, version 1.2026.32101*

### 1/5 — expecting better by now

*2026-08-22, version 1.2026.33101*

sheets is still annoying. it has not significantly improved in years. very challenging to use on phone.

### 1/5 — Crashes when attaching in Gmail

*2026-08-22, version 1.2026.33101*

See title.

### 1/5 — Re-opening app takes you to index page

*2026-08-21, version 1.2026.33101*

How is it that if I open a sheet, leave the Sheets app, then re open the Sheets app, it doesn’t bring me back to the sheet I was originally on? Such a basic functionality and yet it isn’t supported

### 1/5 — Genius move

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33101*

Congratulations to the genius who designed the last update and removed the ability to change a cell colour when using it in your iPhone.

### 1/5 — Badgered for a Review

*2026-08-19, version 1.2026.33101*

You interrupt what I'm doing begging for a review, you get one star. Simple as.

### 1/5 — BUG REPORT: quick formatting options on bottom toolbar disappear iPhone

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

I use cell processor a lot so ease of use is paramount. The quick formatting options used to appear at the bottom of the screen below the text entry field when a cell is selected. It included cell color which I use a lot when formatting new table keys. 

The quick formatting options will no longer appear if the phone goes to sleep while that menu is open. The next time the cell is selected there will be space below the text entry field where the quick formatting options should be.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.32101*

Have used sheets for years to track my budget but it’s now broken. I can not longer edit and only add comments to cells.

### 1/5 — 제발 좀 고쳐라

*2026-08-17*

미치겠다 진짜 왜 패드에서 띄어쓰기 하면 자꾸 글자가 중복되냐 몇 달째냐 지금 업무를 못보겠는데 진짜 고쳐주질 않냐

### 1/5 — Basic functionality missing

*2026-08-16, version 1.2026.32101*

For iPad at least, it’s very difficult to select data and edit data for charts without it auto selecting the whole table. Edit chart has next to nothing for making decent charts. There is no paste values, so if you want to work around this, you can only copy broken formulas. Needs work…. Very frustrating

### 1/5 — Don’t bother w Sheets app, access the web browser version instead.

*2026-08-16, version 1.2026.32101*

So many problems w the iOS app, where to begin? Navigation, you need to remember the specials to navigate effectively w/in the cell. Your view of the cell content in the entry field is limited to 1 line, so many times, view is blocked. Adding, removing, resizing the cells is almost impossible given the limited options available.

### 5/5 — They are great

*2026-08-22, version 1.2026.33101*

Sheets are a great free alternative to excel and can be very powerful if you use it to its full potential, although it doesn’t have all the features it handles the basics pretty well.

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2026-08-22, version 1.2026.33101*

I don’t use it for much, and what I do use it for, it works great. I don’t have high expectations since I use it on my phone. It seems it does a good job with the phone’s limitations.

### 5/5 — This is good

*2026-08-21, version 1.2026.33101*

If you like stuff like excel and things then you’ll probably like this. It’s not as good as gold or anything but it’s also not a game I don’t think.

### 5/5 — They finally fixed their app

*2026-08-21, version 1.2026.33101*

They fixed the bug that basically everyone was complaining about for a week. Not sure what took so long but either way it’s finally fixed and the app is actually useable again.

### 5/5 — Kane

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33101*

Really easy to use great to keep on track

### 5/5 — Does what I need

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33101*

For mobile version, does what I need

### 5/5 — Love Sheets

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33101*

I use it for keeping track of everything. Esp happy that I can use on my iPhone, iPad and PC. The functionality on the PC is easier than the iOS.

### 5/5 — They fixed it!

*2026-08-18, version 1.2026.33101*

The bugs that I referenced before are gone. All is good in the world.

### 5/5 — Can no longer fill in cell color from bottom of the screen when tapping on cell (FIXED!!!)

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

UPDATE: THEY FINALLY FIXED IT, YES!! :) 5 star app now!

Update: still has not been fixed as of 8/11…

When I tap on a specific cell now, the options to color it in or anything else like that isn’t there on the bottom of the screen, it is now glitched and I have to do it the long way now in the settings. It only is doing it on my iPhone, it works fine on my iPad. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33101*

Totally excited about this App
