Overall my experience has been a good one. A few issues with a previous device and it not working. But thats the only issue in the long amount of time I have been a consumer.

Pros

Being able to share my docs everywhere. I can use it on a laptop,phone, desktop and others and all my important saves are in the same place. The spell check and grammer suggestions is also fantastic. Sometimes when you are doing something in a hurry you miss things or make mistakes and this finds them in less than a second. Its easy to use for all ages also.

Cons

At first it was a little difficult navigating some of the tools it offers. It also for whatever reason refused to work on one of my previous phones. Customer service tried to help but we couldn't figure it out.

Cons

Sometimes when importing a Word document the formatting is broken.

I Absolutely love Google Software and products. They are my number one overall in the software community. They make things easy & sharable. They don't try to lock out other software and companies. They just always work!!!

Pros

It's easy converting to other software, it's ability to import clearly, data is never lost, it is so easy to receive and download information and to compare everything that is needed in informing and helping others.

Cons

I struggle with the appearance of some documents. I have been using computers for over 40 years and I guess I have a little OCD thing about how everything should look. I'm old school, we were taught that there were only so many acceptable formats. I've had to come along way since then.

Layout is self explanatory, easy to use, and for me free is a big aspect to why I choose to use Google docs.

Pros

Easy to use app free as well I can share documents after I view with others through the app and links to my Google spreadsheet app calendar etc

Cons

My only downside is not being able to access if im not connected to Internet.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft 365, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

It's free all the time, does the same if not more only doesn't operate offline. That's minor to me so I do give five stars
