Google Sheets

Mobile spreadsheets for work and everyday planning

Google Sheets is a spreadsheet app for creating, editing and organising tables on an Android phone or tablet. It suits people managing budgets, schedules, task lists, inventories and work data away from a desktop. Files can be opened through Google Drive, making it useful for users who already keep documents in Google’s productivity services.

Useful tools for shared documents

Sheets supports simultaneous editing, so several people can work in the same spreadsheet instead of passing separate copies around. It can also open and edit Microsoft Excel files, which helps when a spreadsheet starts elsewhere. Offline editing is available for continued work without a connection, with changes syncing when access returns.

• Create and update spreadsheets from an Android device.
• Share documents and work with others in the same file.
• Use formulas, formatting and charts for organising and reviewing data.
• Return to earlier document versions when changes need checking or reversing.

What the numbers suggest

Google Sheets holds a 4.45 rating from 1,338,569 reviews and sits in the 1,000,000,000+ install range. That combination gives the score useful context: it is not based on a small group of ratings, and the app has reached a very large Android audience. The rating still represents an average experience, so spreadsheet-heavy users should consider how comfortable they are working on a smaller screen.
