Google Sheets for IPad - Fundamentally Flawed

Darklink99

Google Sheets and other programs like it are flexible, able to be used for multiple purpose across many different fields. As such Google Sheets for IPAD may work fine for you but for my job and how I use it I spend more time hitting roadblocks and having to open my computer to accomplish tasks than I should. It leads to the essential question of why even have an app if it will be missing so many core features and have many more that are broken or flawed. The most recent examples include freezing vertical columns doing the opposite of the intended function, the complete lack of in cell text formatting, the lack of advanced sorting features and the inability to open two windows of google sheets at the same time. These are just the broken or missing features that have interrupted my workflow today, I am sure that more will occur in the future. With an app this unfinished I would look to Excel or Apple’s Numbers as alternatives if my work didn’t rely on GSuite for the sharing functionality. If the only reason a user continues to use an app is being locked into the ecosystem, it is not a good app. If you are able avoid Google Sheets and all other Google apps to avoid getting trapped in their ecosystem, especially if you plan to try and use your IPAD as a main work device.

Sheets is great when it works

When I don’t have to wait 40 minutes for Sheets to update and show info added in a couple cells. Restarts, reinstalls, etc… nothing speeds it up on mobile (5G and wifi)

Hyperlinks to sheets don’t work

Have a list of 50+ accounts on my first sheet. I have each of these accounts hyperlinked to a sheet specific for each account within the spreadsheet, and the links don’t work on iOS. Major bummer.

So limited compared to browser version

I love sheets but this app truly is disappointing and I loath it. I cannot do 85% of the basic functions I can do in the browser at all and what I can do is usually way more complex. Simply things like applying a filter require clicking an obscure menu, there is no sorting of data, auto-filling is inconsistent. I try going to Sheets in the Chrome Browser on my Ipad to work around this and it insists on opening up this piece of junk.

Crashes frequently!

It’s almost impossible to use because it crashes.

MAKE IT WORK FOR PHONES

Jayden Ryan

This app is amazing on a computer or laptop, but I need access to this from my phone and it either loads for a couple of years or crashes.

Can no longer edit

Xohess

Please fix- since the update I can no longer edit my sheets, it used to be double tap to edit but now there’s absolutely no way to edit it or type at all.

Download documents from links

There’s no easy way to download documents from a link into my files

What is happening, suddenly?

oy vay this is bad

A few days ago, as I used google sheets on my iPad, as I entered text in a cell, as soon as I pressed the space bar, the entry mode automatically switched to numeric. It’s annoying. Finding information, let alone getting actual help, on the developer’s website is ridiculously impossible? I asked Apple for help; Apple invariably is quick to answer queries on Twitter. This time Apple sent me to Google. So I’m stuck. Google doesn't have a Twitter help account, which is absurd. Too big to help? Very disappointing. I’ve used google sheets for many years, but this is quite frustrating. I will have to look for an alternative.
