#SHOULD I INSTALL GOGLE DOCS OR IWORKS ON MY IPAD SOFTWARE#
Now, software development is hard, and Google has chosen the roughest of all worlds: developing for multiple platforms and the web. Anger with the overly small touch targets. When I surveyed Twitter, I found dozens of similar complaints and frustrations. Worse, Sheets can't find anything you may have in Google Drive but haven't yet opened (like a shared folder) until you find and open it in the Drive app. Each displays its own unique "Recent" list Drive supposedly has the canonical list, but tapping anything in that app boots you out to Docs or Sheets. Unfortunately, while they have some good points (like multiple account management), they're largely a huge pain point on mobile.įirst off, they're split into three different programs: Drive, Docs, and Sheets. This would be annoying but manageable if Google's apps provided feature parity with the website. Trying to request the desktop version of the website won't work, either: You won't be able to scroll, or tap on anything that requires a double-click, and any link you do manage to make work will send you right back to the mobile environment. I can't count the number of times I've seen the websites try and send me to the App Store to open a spreadsheet, when I clearly have Sheets already available. And there's no hope, as there is with Facebook, of using Google's in-theory-HTML5-and-therefore-iPad-compliant website: Google's standard web view on an iPad flat-out punts you to the apps-if the website even correctly detects you have the app installed. On the iPad Pro, it's even worse.ĭespite receiving several updates in the last few months, Google's apps haven't been updated for Apple's larger tablet. But Sheets barely has a functional iPad app, and it's missing necessary puzzle hunt features like being able to quickly copy a function to the rest of the row, or move rows or columns. We use Google's Sheets to collaborate and record puzzle data amongst our teammates, often opening up multiple tabs to try new theories or indexing formulae. Google's productivity apps are a must-use during the Hunt.
