Aw, man...
Yet another update, and the problems I have with Google Docs are still there. I'm a huge fan of the Google Docs via desktop browser, but this app is so slow on my iPad as to be unusable. Keystrokes take so long to register that they lag an entire sentence behind, and I'm not a speedy typist.
Granted, my iPad is not the latest or greatest, but Pages and Word don't lag like that, nor do Notes, Google Keep, Simplenote, or Ulysses. What gives?
And what's with the unnecessary extra row of functions on the keyboard? It takes up too much space, and there is blank space on the iOS keyboard where those the functions could be put. Pages, Word, and Ulysses do that, why can't Docs?
The outline feature nice, but not much use to me if I can't type with it the app. Also, why no document header/footer or pagination? Why is there both a "page preview" and a "page layout view" that appear to do the same thing? Why does the keyboard cover the bottom paragraph or so of text when I tap the edit icon, instead of the text scrolling up and out of the way?
The desktop web version of Docs is my favorite word processor of all time, but this iOS app is disappointing and uncharacteristic of all the good stuff Google offers. It's just... well, janky and slow.
Please, Google, fix it. I really want to use Docs, but in this statement Docs is seriously outclassed by its competitors.
My go to, for on the go writing.
This is my first ever review for an app all across all my devices. And google docs is something I now recommended this to everyone. Super easy and super convenient. I'm a writer and a student. If I'm out at work, or having an inspired moment while having coffee I can just open it up and start where I left off or start new.
And my favorite feature out of everything is having the ability to do a group writing, or a group editing. I can just send a link, instead of a document or a third party software where we have to exchange codes to access a server. (Yuck) simply blessed. Love it.
This app saves my life
Being a college student, I'm constantly on the go and this app allows me to work on homework anytime at any place. Another huge perk to this is that I can later get on my laptop, or library computer, ect, to finish any incomplete work and it makes everything so easy. Editing is simple, the layout is organized and everything is straight forward and always available. This app is what helps me get through the hard college times. Thanks!!!!!!
