Google Docs - Review

It is my go-to platform to create, manage and share documents. Have been using it from the past 3+ years - highly recommend it over the Microsoft Word.

Pros

It is super duper user friendly, easy to integrate with other Google Apps/Productivity Tools, easy to share, store and manage.

Cons

Can be used online only. Need to add additional plugins for some basic features, like arrange bullet points in ascending order.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Word

Reasons for Choosing Google Docs

Microsoft Word was offline, expensive, and not easy to share.

Switched From

Reasons for Switching to Google Docs

Google Docs, as mentioned earlier, provided a similar look and feel but is free, easy to operate.

Definitely My Personal Favorite Google App

Reviewed on 01/06/2024

I really love and use Google Docs pretty much everyday, whether I find the need to do quick perusals in the stories I wrote or editing some documents which I can possibly do both online and offline. I really appreciate how I can definitely edit my documents offline and just have the changes applied once I am back online.

Pros

The first time I used this is back when I was a doing a paper with my classmates in my university and I appreciate how we simply don't need to justify our contributions because the history will simply show it. I appreciate it even more when I write my stories because I can even change the color of the paper that is said to help it easier to write even more. It is still my favorite Google App up to date and has never left my phone app list ever since.

Cons

There are honestly none because I truly love Google Docs and how convenient it is whether using it for personal purposes or even in professional matters. I love how it is pretty straight forward and you don't need to be tech-savvy to be able to use it.

Amazing that we have such tools at our disposal. We can work on almost anything, from anywhere, and collaborate with anyone in the world. Obviously Google did not invent this concept but they are the #1, the go-to. Its really revolutionizing the way we all work together.

Pros

Just the simple fact that we live in such a time where geography doesn't make much difference at all when it comes to collaboration and teamwork, is amazing. I find myself being a big perfectionist in judging Google Docs negatively, instead of simply appreciating that we even have such technology.

Cons

The loss of cross functionality between versions of MS Office and Google, whether it's documents or spreadsheets. It is admittedly pretty great for what it is, but it still isn't standardized enough, in my opinion. Downloading a doc/sheet created using google, into Office, often ends in file corruption.

My overall experience with Google Docs has been quite positive. I liked almost everything about it. The collaborative features make it easy to work on documents with others, and the ability to access and edit documents from any device is convenient. The wide range of formatting options and easy sharing capabilities are also big pluses.

Pros

I believe the most appealing aspect of Google Docs is its ease of collaboration. The ability to work on documents simultaneously with multiple users and see real-time changes is incredibly convenient and conducive to teamwork. Additionally, seamless integration with other Google services and cloud storage functionality are highly valuable.

Cons

I liked almost everything about Google Docs, but one thing that I found inconvenient was its limited offline functionality. While Google Docs does offer offline access, the functionality is not as robust as working online. It would be helpful to have more features available in the offline mode for times when an internet connection is not available.
