Google Docs

Documents on your phone

Google Docs is a writing and document-editing app for Android phones and tablets. It suits anyone who needs to draft, revise or read documents away from a computer, as well as people who want to work on the same file with others. You can start a document from scratch or use a template, then make changes on your device.

Work together, in one file

Share a document with other people so they can edit, comment or add action items. Changes can appear in real time, which makes Docs useful for group projects, work notes and plans that need input from several people. You can also open Microsoft Word files in the app, giving you a way to work with documents created in another editor.

Keep working when offline

Docs supports offline editing, so you can continue working when you do not have an internet connection. That can help when travelling or when a connection is unreliable. The app also lets you convert and export documents, offering options for moving files between formats and sharing them beyond Docs.

Who it’s for

This is a practical choice for students, teams and anyone who regularly writes or reviews documents on mobile. It is a dedicated productivity app for creating and collaborating on text files. Google LLC is the developer. Its rating is about 4.3 out of 5 from nearly 2 million reviews, and the listing reports more than 1 billion installs—useful context for an app with such a broad audience.
