ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Docs App for Google Docs · holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Polaris Office has 2.5K ratings behind it against 238, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Polaris Office's written reviews are positive against 50% of Docs App for Google Docs ·'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Polaris Office ships an update every 4 weeks, Docs App for Google Docs · every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
