Google Docs App Reviews

I am working on one of my biggest projects ever and from typing my own documents to sharing them with others google docs always has my back!

The app is basically a replica of the online version, it is easy to adapt to. Useful for on the go when you need to finish an assignment but can’t get to a computer in time would almost recommend it over the desktop version!

Well done app as Google is known to do.

Eh its pretty good I guess

This program is amazing. It easily syncs across my devices and I love being able to work in a document at the same time as a colleague for collaboration purposes. I use it for everything from writing blog posts to annotating and highlighting assigned readings. Paired with the Google Drive app it’s incredible. I wish they’d of had this during my undergrad. Thanks google. Please keep investing in this software.

First: this app is easily structured, and very easy to use both in a home and school environment. I use this app daily in school and at home, and I am mostly satisfied with it. HOWEVER, there are lots of accessibility flaws with this app. I use VoiceOver, a screen reader built into iOS, to interact with this app because I cannot see the screen. When I use this app with VoiceOver, there are many bugs which the developer has neglected to fix. Also, there is 1 big bug that caused me to lose parts of my schoolwork. Flaw 1: typing feedback with VoiceOver. When I delete a character in Google Docs, it says, for example, “A selected”, if I delete an A. Sometimes, VoiceOver just says “Selection Deleted.” When VoiceOver says “Selection Deleted,” I have to guess what i deleted and make sure I don’t overshoot. Flaw 2: typing feedback when adding people. When I go into the “Add People” dialogue and I start typing in the “Enter Name Or Email Address” Text field, VoiceOver doesn’t read what I type. For example, if I type 1 character, VoiceOver says “ Text field, is editing, Enter Name Or Email Address, character mode, insertion point between e and n at the second position,” or something like that. This is a big problem because I can’t see what I typed and can’t see what I still have to type. Flaw 3: saving files. Somehow, Google Docs doesn’t always save files automatically. Even though the developers say that it automatically saves as you type, that doesn’t always seem to be true. This bug has cost me almost a whole science assignment and a Language Arts assignment. In conclusion, this app works very well from the standpoint of design. However, there are lots of bugs that need fixing so that Google Docs can be accessible for all.

Generally the Google Docs app works pretty well. I only use it for writing and making minor edits to class notes on my phone. But often I find when I’m typing that the screen will jump around. It also doesn’t play nice with Apple’s autocorrect at times. But the accessibility across devices is great. I can be editing or typing on my phone, and immediately switch to my computer and it updates in real time. This is also helpful for class projects, wherein I can be working with a group and we will all edit in real time and work on the same project, whether it’s an essay, brainstorming, or on the other google groups, the Slides app for PowerPoints. My biggest complaint over everything is just that each part of the google drive docket comes as a separate app. Docs is separate from Slides is separate from Spreadsheets is separate from plain ole Google Drive.

I have no idea why everyone isnt using Google Docs. Unless youre a doctor and need incredible security because thats what doctors have to do, you should use google docs. Collaboration, use on any device, ease of use, tons of templates, I am a big fan!

I love Google Docs. I use it for all of my committee work to share drafts. So convenient.

Google does everything right

Was typing then all of sudden the font was white, when I got out the words where black. Tried to go back in now all of my documents show white fonts.

Runs agonizingly slow with any document of substantial length.

Amazing let’s me do my work

When I went back to school two years ago and attempted to write my assignments using Word and it was awful. My teenage sister in high school was the one who told me about Google Docs and it was the greatest thing she’s ever shared with me! It’s so easy to use and I now use it for everything school and work related. I highly recommend it for anyone needing a program to write any type of document.

Docs have been super convenient and I’m grateful. Keep those updates rolling in, por favor! ??

Makes my job so much easier. work across platform and sharing with others is such a breeze. Google is so impressive

It works pretty good it annoys me sometimes when I’m trying to click something and sometimes it crashes or it just won’t click

I’ve been using this app for all my schoolwork in the past couple of years. It offers a ton of different things you can use to write papers. I also really like Google forms, slides and sheets.

I have used google docs in my former PC days and now on my Mac. That it is also available on my iPhone-so much the better. I not only store and add to docs in the cloud but also share the docs with specified contacts.

I really liked this app, works really well and saves on its own. I love how easy it is to start a new document and edit it. I would definitely recommend this to other people.
