### 4/5 — It’s great, but

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33100*

I love Google Slides on iPad, the only one frustrating problem is that I can’t choose custom colors. This is a major limitation, because the available colors are either too dull or too vibrant. It’s such a simple feature, & I find it hard to believe how Google didn’t include it for the iPad app.

### 4/5 — eh….

*2026-08-20, version 1.2026.33100*

i mean its kinda mid but its not bad either. IM ALWAYS LAGGY THOUGH…

### 2/5 — Mobile app sucks

*2026-08-17, version 1.2026.33100*

Why are there no animations, audio, etc for google slides mobile? Also, the app refuses to cooperate. I'm trying to edit my own slides, it suddenly just doesn't let me scroll to see all my own slides and I have to reopen my presentation just for it to work properly. Obviously, this is not a problem when you are on desktop. Fix your app, Google!

### 4/5 — Please add this

*2026-08-16, version 1.2026.32101*

I need you to make it to where I can animate the objects on mobile, because I’ve been trying to do it and it doesn’t work. I’d like you to add it to the mobile app please

### 4/5 — I like it

*2026-08-11, version 1.2026.32101*

This is a good app. It’s really nice how you can 
create presentations and then share them with people with options Editor, Commenter, and Viewer. The only thing is that you can’t really access your trash bin in it. But overall 4.5 stars!

### 4/5 — ADD AUDIO OPTIONS

*2026-08-10, version 1.2026.32101*

Everything else is good but I need to add audio for the slides and Im unable to so

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-09, version 1.2026.31101*

Good

### 5/5 — Great app to write documents or print currencies I issued.

*2026-08-09, version 1.2026.31101*

I have written lots of books on here,and it’s really good because you can easily publish them as ebooks, and you don’t have to pay or login or anything.I would recommend this so you should get it.

### 4/5 — Learning but Enjoying

*2026-08-09, version 1.2026.31101*

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-08-08, version 1.2026.31101*

Absolute Cinema.

### 2/5 — Themes

*2026-08-07, version 1.2026.31101*

I would like more themes/designs.  The themes Google has are boring.  More designs please.  And not just for business.  We need for healthcare education please.

### 5/5 — One of the best

*2026-08-06, version 1.2026.31101*

This app is genuinely so good, it’s feature that allows multiple people on the same slideshow allowed me and a couple friends to start working on our own custom Pokémon game

### 4/5 — Incredible!

*2026-08-05, version 1.2026.31101*

I love this app. I use it for every presentation I make in personally I think it has improved my performance when it comes to presentations. my only advice is that on the iPad is very difficult and buggy.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2026-08-23, version 1.2026.33100*

Imagine anyone have project and they don’t have a laptop what they will do because I cannot custom my project on my phone

### 1/5 — Wow

*2026-08-18, version 1.2026.33100*

I hate the app smmmmm

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2026-08-14, version 1.2026.32101*

When presenting mode is pushed, it won’t load to the screen.

### 1/5 — Blank presentation screen ?

*2026-08-11, version 1.2026.32101*

I cannot for the life of me get my slides to present on my phone. Sometimes I need to work on the go and make sure the slides are presenting correctly and all I keep getting is a blank white screen or a blank black screen. I’ve updated, restarted, deleted and reinstalled and nothing.

### 1/5 — Nothing

*2026-08-09, version 1.2026.31101*

You cant do half the stuff you can on the website, and the website is extremely laggy and glitchy. You basically cant use slides on mobile.

### 1/5 — I hate it.

*2026-08-01, version 1.2026.30100*

I’m trying to make a slideshow and it’s so hard to even make one slide. The mobile version of Google slides sucks and is extremely horrible compared to the computer version. It literally impossible to even navigate through the controls, and there’s barely any fonts! Don’t waste your time downloading this.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this in your life

*2026-07-28, version 1.2026.30100*

This was a horrible experience and I will never get those 4 hours of my life back. First I tried to get a little picture of a fish ONLY ON GOOGLE SLIDES and it just crash. Then later I wanted to organize a game that I made, so I make little bit of it and then left to get a picture. And when I came back, I couldn’t open the slide. I ALMOST BROKE MY IPAD TRYING TO GET IN THE SLIDE. The summary: I hate google slides and my Life.

### 1/5 — No longer will use

*2026-07-27, version 1.2026.29101*

It deleted multiple of my slideshows without it showing up in the trash. I’ve already tried to gain back my slides to no avail.

### 1/5 — Gross

*2026-07-23, version 1.2026.29101*

Just make it like the browser version, no one wants this yucky sleek version you can’t do anything on. It feels like a glorified slide viewer and NOT an editor

### 1/5 — Messed up

*2026-07-21, version 1.2026.29101*

After this app was updated, it won’t let me to change the background, layout, and a few things. I guess the options are missing. I can’t even do anything basically.

UPDATE: the developers replied to this message and asked me to refresh the background app. Nope! It still doesn’t work. I can’t change the background at all!
