ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Forms for Google Docs holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Forms for Google Docs has 62K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Forms for Google Docs's written reviews are positive against 100% of RLD Input's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Forms for Google Docs ships an update every 2 weeks, RLD Input every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on November 14, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
