Google Sheets: A Basic but Limited App for Work

Google Sheets: A Basic but Limited App for Work

30 reviews between Apr 26, 2023 and May 24, 2023.

Google Sheets is a useful app for basic work, but lacking in functionality for professionals. It is easy to use and can be used between Apple and Windows devices. However, there are issues with editing multi-line text and opening multiple files at once. It also has problems when on an external monitor with Stage. Despite this, people appreciate the access to Sheets from any device and its ability to sync changes. Some users prefer Apple Numbers over Sheets for its better features.

  • Really good setup

    I really like Google sheets. It is easy to use. It takes a little bit of playing with to know all of its features, but is extremely handy. I especially love how it is usable between Apple, and Windows. Also I love the instant updating ability. I highly recommend it.

  • Uggh, generally okay, but…

    Half the time when I tap a cell to copy its formula and paste to a different cell, the original cell will go into edit mode and mess up the formula when I tap any other cell. And this app has no equivalent of an escape key. So I need to undo and try again. Extremely annoying…

  • Not for professionals

    I normally dont do this but I have been patiently waiting for this app to be useable for years. For any type of light work that can be done by a teen after a week or two of learning spread sheets for the first time this app is great. Anything that requires slightly more functionality (and boy is this list long) for people who work with sheets professionally is not available nor is the option to enable such functionality even offered. Dont take my word for it, there are thousands of youtube videos with professionals who unanimously hate this app. Just look up “Google Sheets Tips for iOS” on youtube and literally click any of the top 1000 videos! Not even joking!

    • Extremely limited compared to desktop version

      I’m writing this review for an IPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard used for work with a work account. For context, I also have a work account of all MS Apps in addition to all Google work apps so I am able to contrast the two suites on the same device.

      Pros: Sheets for IPad opens files very quickly. Allows basic review and editing.

      Cons:
      - Can’t edit multi line cell text easily. Can’t edit text in the middle of the cell easily. Only a small one line high box shows allowing you to edit text that is only one line high. We can’t just double click in the cell and click on where we want the cursor. Can’t do carriage returns within the cell.
      - Can’t open multiple files at once
      - Does not render properly when on an external monitor with Stage Manager
      - No paste transpose option
      - No paste values option
      - Can’t see edit history by user
      - Can’t choose to open in browser instead of app.

    • Inherently useless on iPad

      I can’t even see the names of my tabs when I have a Sheet open. All of the menu options at the top are disabled in the app and when you open it through Safari.

      I cannot for the life of me understand why this is so horrible compared to when I access Sheets on a PC.

      Must be Apple wanting to make Google apps useless because they hate competition.

    • App doesn’t export or print sheets to excel file or pdf

      It’s been like a year now! That I can’t get the app to export or download a pdf from my iphone or even as an excel file. I upgraded to a newer phone with more storage. Deleted and restored the app. Tried from an android phone and nothing worked. It totally threw off my mobile workflow.

    • Worst app on iPhone

      EDIT: They have now added autocorrect. Except… not the standard autocorrect. No, that would be too simple. Instead, they have invented their OWN autocorrect, which replaces real words and things that make sense, with fake words and things that don’t. Best of all, it gives absolutely no sign that it’s going to change your word, and doesn’t actually change it until you’ve typed an addition sentence, and sometimes even hit enter to save the cell. How INSANE are these developers? Oh and most of the other problems… still exist. Only now you can’t use the dropdown data validation features that you’ve set up.

      Worst part is - they FORCE you to use this - you can’t use a browser.

      Something as simple as typing into a cell doesn’t work! First of all, no autocorrect. But worse, you can’t edit anything without google making up some random new rules about how your keyboard works, like mandating all-caps so that you have to hit shift before EVERY LETTER to turn it off. By far my most frustrating experience each day. An absolute embarrassment that this experience is happening in 2018. I vaguely remember stuff like this happening when iOS first starting allowing apps... a LONG time ago.
