Google Launches New iOS Apps for Google Docs and Sheets [iOS Blog]

Google today debuted two new standalone iOS apps for documents and spreadsheets. Google Docs and Google Sheets are designed to allow users to create and access documents and spreadsheets on their mobile devices.

Before the introduction of Google Docs and Google Sheets, documents were only accessible via Google Drive or the web. Google is also planning to release a Google Slides app in the near future, further growing its line of productivity apps on the iPad and the iPhone.

The apps are designed with offline support built in, so viewing, editing, and creating files can be done without an Internet connection. Google Docs supports opening and editing documents that have been previously worked on via another device and documents can be shared and edited by multiple users at the same time.

With Google Docs you can:

- Create new documents or open and edit any that you started on the web or another device.

- Share documents and work together with others in the same document at the same time

- Get stuff done anytime–even without an internet connection

- Add and respond to comments

- Never worry about losing your work–everything is automatically saved as you type

Google Sheets functions similarly, allowing multiple users to work on documents in the app or on the web. The app supports formatting of cells, sorting data, and more.

With Google Sheets you can:

- Create new spreadsheets or open and edit any that you started on the web or another device.

- Share spreadsheets and work together with others in the same spreadsheet at the same time

- Get stuff done anytime–even without an internet connection

- Format cells, enter/sort data, perform various sheet operations, and more

- Never worry about losing your work–everything is automatically saved as you type

Both of Google’s new apps can be downloaded from the App Store at no cost.
