Google Docs, Sheets and Slides all gain iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus optimization

December 8, 2014

Google’s productivity apps – Docs, Sheets, and Slides – have all been updated recently with some nice improvements.

First up, all three are now optimized for the higher-resolution screens of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. That means both text and images should be clear and crisp on those devices.

Here are the other changes in the apps:

Google Docs
* Support for viewing and editing text in tables
* Revamped accessibility support to use system standard text editing controls.
* Enhanced support for reading and editing when using Braille displays.
* Enhanced VoiceOver support when using Bluetooth keyboards.
* Bug fixes and performance improvements

Google Slides
* Insert, move, resize and rotate textboxes, shapes and lines
* Bug fixes and performance improvements

Google Sheets
* Bug fixes and performance improvements

Docs, Sheets, and Slides are all universal and designed for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad/iPad mini. They are free to download on the App Store now.

The apps are designed to specifically provide another alternative to Microsoft’s Office Suite and Apple’s Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
