I gave this app a 2 star for several reasons
First you CANNOT adjust the size and where you wanted to put the photo it can only be put where your mouse is.Second a lot of the time it takes 5 seconds to have a word loaded into the doc which is very bad especially for people who have to finish it during class time(45 min-1hour). Third there is a auto correction where sometimes is extremely annoying for a name it kept on auto correcting forever if it’s just 1 time i like it but it’s repeating 4 ever when I press the space bar. Which wastes at-least 5-10 min which is a lot since I’m not in elementary school whereas they just have to write a few sentences.I hope you can adjust it so I can raise the rating higher.
Google docs is my go-to for writing that spans across all of my devices, and it works really well. I started using it back in college years ago and am still really happy with it.
But when selecting text and making changes it quickly deselects and often crashes. Changing the color of selected text also is still crashing. (At least it isn’t crashing when simply choosing a color for text yet to be added, but still.)
OLD REVIEW:
Updated to IOS 14.4 now it crashes
I’ve been using this on my iPad for years without issue, but after this update now it crashes, A Lot.
I’ve noticed crashes particularly when I change the text color.
Please please please please please please fix.
One night, I was working offline to write an English essay and used the offline extension. Then, as soon as I was connected to the wifi again, all of the progress that I have done after going offline was completely gone. Just gone. I desperately tired to recover my lost work, and searched up solutions in the internet. Turns out, this problem occurs often to other people as well and they couldn’t do anything to recover their work. This problem needs to be fixed ASAP!!! I WILL NOT risk trying to use the offline extension ever again. Having to redo my English essay, even after spending the night to finish it, is INFURIATING!! I’m speaking this as a high school student!!
There is one specific bug that gets to me the most.
I use this app for school, as practically everyone in school right now does. My teachers often require we answer questions in fonts coloured differently than the question’s font.
Here’s where that bug comes in.
Every time I change the font color, my doc closes out and I have to re-enter it to change the next bit of font to a different color. It closes. I re-enter and change it. It closes. I re-enter and change it. It closes. Etc.
Frankly, it’s more than a bit ridiculous. Please fix this asap.
I would give this app a 5/5 as I have been using google and ALL of its apps for EIGHT years. I am a student , currently in college , whi cannot take my laptop everywhere I go. So in lieu of needing constant access to my docs , I have an IPAD air. Which seems to not have the same features as my MacBook when it comes to google docs . For some odd reason I cannot download a file from my google doc to my iPad and save it as a pdf file. Same thing happens on my iPhone . Why is this not a feature ?? I have tried EVERYTHING. Please fix this issue.
I’m a college student so being able to use this app on my iPad to do homework on the go is great but a problem I face a lot is that my keyboard will no longer be able to type anything. I will have to type on the screen but if I go into another app I am able to continue to type with my keyboard. Recently it keeps kicking me out of the app when I use my iPad screen to click on the text and change the font or text color. Needs to be fixed because I rely on this app for most of my classes.
I think google docs is amazing! It’s the easy go-to app when you need to write notes, reports, essays and more!It can sometimes lag when I go on a document but it is still great. I like how you can share it with other emails and be able to see what they are doing since they are highlighted. Another good thing about google docs is that when I’m on google docs and I am having to write something down I don’t have to go all the way to “Word” I can just click on google docs and get typing.
Google docs is my go-to for writing that spans across all of my devices, and it works really well. I started using it back in college years ago and am still really happy with it.

I’ve using Google Workspace apps on my desktop/iPhone/iPad for several years
1. I’ve recently noticed that the docs don’t refresh till you exit a doc and pull down on the document list to refresh before reopening the doc. Very annoying if you don’t know if it’s latest doc you’re working with. This is happening with Slides, Docs and Sheets.
2. There’s no dictionary or the ability to use the “look up“ feature on their mobile versions!
This app is great and I use it to do a LOT of my school assignments but it is often very laggy. Like a couple times when I am trying to do a school project with a classmate, it won’t let me share the doc with that classmate. I think you should fix the lagginess, and I know it’s not just m because I am reading the other reviews and everyone is saying the same thing. But other then the lagginess, I think this app has great potential.
