Well... – Google Docs: Sync, Edit, Share Review

Google Docs on a MacBook or Chromebook is terrific. On iPad, not so much. The keyboard lag is bad, even when you’re no faster a typist than I am. Try to use the change tracking, and it slows even further, to a glacial rate. There is no tab key and no ruler, so no way to properly make paragraphs with first-line indents or do hanging indents, as academic and manuscript formats require. The UI wastes a lot of screen space, leaving less space for text. The outline feature is great, as is the way it looks up and inserts hyperlinks (which, unlike with Word and Pages, remain active when exported to PDF). Google Docs for iOS doesn’t have to include every single thing the web version does, but its sluggish typing and lack of some basic functions keep me from using it as much as I would like.
