Smart move from google. MS is slated to release their office suit this October for both iOS and Android so having a Google branded Office app will help combat MS office products.

One thing I will say is Documents To Go handles word documents better than the other office apps so it's best for reading documents but QO has the best GUI design. So creating/editing small documents is much easier with QO. =X= |

Good move, Google. I rather like Quickoffice for impromptu stuff.

I have the full paid versions of: Docs To Go, OfficeSuite Pro, and Quickoffice Pro; and don't use any of them. I got them free from Amazon when each one took a turn as the free app of the day. I have no use for these apps. The memo app that came on my Galaxy Player satisfies my needs.

I like Quick office well enough, I guess. I've used Docs To Go, back in my Palm days. It was OK too, but QO has come with all my Motorola phones, so I'm most familiar with it most currently. I mostly use the spreadsheet, since any spreadsheet makes for a nice list manager. Phones, and other PDA type devices aren't really all that good at creating text documents.
Google, Motorola, Quick Office, seems like a nice circular reference there. All Google needs to do is buy Verizon! I only hope Google doesn't try to fix them 'too much' |

I had thought about getting one of the two highly recommended Office suites that do MS stuff, but heck I never needed them. Samsung does pretty good all by itself. I am interested though in the official MS Suites that will work directly on Android or iOS. That might be different. I guess that is after Windows 8. Last edited by SeaKing; 06-08-2012 at 01:49 AM. |
