Google Sheets

Mobile spreadsheets for work and everyday planning

Google Sheets lets you create, view and edit spreadsheets on an Android device. It suits people who need to update a shared table, keep track of information or make a quick change while away from a computer. The small-screen layout means large or intricate sheets can take more effort to navigate, but basic edits and checks are within reach.

Work together on the same sheet

Sheets supports live collaboration, so multiple people can work on a document together rather than passing separate copies back and forth. You can also use comments to discuss changes in context. It works with Microsoft Excel files, which is useful when a spreadsheet comes from someone who uses a different office tool.

Keep working across connections

You can create and edit spreadsheets offline; changes sync when a connection is available again. That makes the app useful for travel or places with unreliable internet. Files can also stay in step with Sheets on the web, so you can move between a phone, tablet and computer without treating each as a separate copy.

Popularity and fit

Google LLC’s spreadsheet app has a 4.45-star rating from more than 1.3 million ratings and 1 billion-plus installs. Those figures reflect broad use, but the right fit depends on what you need: Sheets is for working with rows, columns, formulas and shared data, not for gaming.
