Unable to use Apple text to speechFor some reason, Google Docs no longer allows me to select text and have my iPad. Read it out loud to me. Something you’ve done broke this functionality.

What did they do?Stupid app will not let me write on my phone without bringing up the copy/paste/select window CONSTANTLY. It’s driving me insane. Pretty much unusable on my iPhone at the moment. Please fix.

Document shareI have several Google accounts. Someone asked for a pdf file, which is in my home drive. The recipient got the share link, but cannot open the file. I don’t know what to tell her to open the document.

Easier than WORDGoogle Docs is easier to use than Microsoft Word

Old, Oct 18, 2026

ExcellentVery useful and reliable app

Pinky, Oct 16, 2026

Does the job. The true successor of Microsoft WordI use thing thing so much and it’s so effortless that I forget how good it is. Figured I’d leave a review about something so many of us use. 5 Stars for doing it well. I need to read up on the privacy policy and terms and conditions just to make sure it’s not stealing from right under my nose.
