Google Docs

Documents on Android

Google Docs is a mobile word-processing app for creating, editing and sharing documents from an Android phone or tablet. It suits students, office workers, teams and anyone who needs to work on written documents away from a desktop. Changes can be made while travelling or without an internet connection, then brought back into the shared document when access returns.

Writing and collaboration

The app supports real-time teamwork, with options to share documents, make edits, leave comments and assign action items. That makes it useful for group assignments, meeting notes, drafts and other documents that need input from several people. You can also start with a blank document or use a template when you want a more structured layout.

File compatibility

Google Docs can open Microsoft Word files, so it can fit into workflows that use more than one office application. Documents can be converted and exported for sharing in other formats, helping teams collaborate even when everyone is not using the same software.

Scale behind the score

Google LLC’s app has a 4.33 rating from 1,977,204 reviews and an install range of 1,000,000,000+. Those figures provide a stronger indication of its standing than the score alone: the rating comes from a very large body of user feedback and a broad Android audience. Google Workspace subscribers may also have access to additional Docs features, including Gemini-assisted drafting and editing.
