The android/chromebook app is missing the PC menu. Without this menu nearly ALL options are difficult to find, and some are outright impossible! For example, there is no way to set a custom date format (I prefer mm/dd/yy for all dates, and leading zeros are an absolute requirement!). Support is impossible to access, and the Help is less than useful.

Google Sheets for IPad - Fundamentally Flawed
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.

Basic functions are not (easily) available. Not sure if I am just completely overlooking it but I cannot find the number formatting option anywhere. I have looked it up on google and the location google says it is, I have checked, and it is not there. Also, you cannot easily switch between tabs, you have to check the blue check at the top before switching between tabs in one sheet. Another issue is that I cannot open the same sheet in two separate windows. Please advise!

Works ok when it works. Most of the time I when I open it for some reason it switches me to view only mode but only on one of my documents. I have access on my laptop but not phone. I have to uninstall and reinstall app to make it work. Does for a time or two then back to view only mode. Yes I'm logged into the right account and no...no one has changed permissions. Very frustrating

Unlike the mobile app version of Google Docs, I find the mobile version of Google Sheets annoying to scroll through just to get where I want to edit something (if it would let me without messing something up), and the last time I used it there weren't many options available for customization or making things easier. Unless you feel like you really need it for whatever reason, I advise sticking with the browser version.

Users are forced to download the app
Users should be able to edit spreadsheets in a browser on their device, not be forced to install an app on their phone.

Lacking features, mandatory app
I can’t do conditional formatting in the app, and I can’t edit my sheets in a browser. I love google sheets for desktop, but the mobile experience is garbage for anything but viewing basic spreadsheets.

Horrible Mobile Interface
I love sheets; I use it all the time to manage large groups, and so being able to edit and do things on the go is a must. I don’t have anything against sheets itself (specifically desktop) but sheets on mobile is quite possible one of the WORST user interfaces over. It’s not difficult per se, but it’s horrible to manage and it’s not smooth or easy to do anything. Literally hate sheets on mobile because it’s highly inconvenient and not friendly to use.

Bug-ridden. I love the Google software. For the most part, its seemless simplicity is an ingenious unique selling proposition. Google sheets for mobile, however, has an Achilles heel. When editing a textbox, if the user scrolls down, you lose all text. There is no way to retrieve it again. After having this happen to a paragraph I was trying to write for the seventh time, I gave up. Fix this and the review will be changed.

Are other reviewers using the same app as me?
UPDATE: I think it’s actually gotten worse. But what makes it ridiculously frustrating is that logging into the URL for sheets in a browser forces me to the app. Why would you want to force people to use such a horrible experience? I know the experience in the safari on ipad isn’t ideal but it’s exponentially better than the iOS Sheets app. Original review: I can’t imagine why anyone would review this positively unless maybe they’ve never used any spreadsheet program. Ever. Maybe not even a calculator. Excel at least feels like they know iPad exists. Sheets acts like all we want to do is view an occasional sheet from others. Menu bar disappears every time I edit a cell then reappears when I hit enter. Formatting options are hard to find. Entering formulas is dramatically different from the web app on PC or Mac. Ugh, I grow tired just thinking of typing out all the horrible this thing contains. Maybe people think it’s got a retro vibe..... 1985 retro...

Where do I even begin. This app had zero functionality of Google Sheets. All it can do is give you the ability to view things that you did on your computer on your phone. Attempting to do anything independent of your phone will result in a headache, shortly followed by your phone hitting the wall in a fit of rage. This app was inadequate in all regards. It was so bad that I then went and downloaded Excel hoping it would be better. It was better. -1/10 can not recommend.

Almost useless, and web versionnot accessible with an ipad
I use google sheets for experiments as i am a freshman, i bring my iPad to school almost always, its my computer substitute, when its lab day and we to graph the information, i dread as the app is useless, i cannot edit a graph to add a trend line, and googles “helpful”advice is to use the web version, funny enough you cannot access the web version without a work around in ios that takes 3 minutes, thats safari, not chrome, it is impossible on chrome, after opening the web version, it tries to make you use the app, and constantly giving you a pop off that its not supported, and not able to format. it becomes slow and laggy as well. My advice to google is to not advertise an app that doesn't have some of the simplest features such as adding an equation or a trend line to a graph. And don't have a help center filled with incorrect information

I have had no problems until the latest update. Ever since then I keep getting an error (Cannot open file, please check internet connection) when I try to open one specific file. The file opens fine on my browser, but on the app it refuses to open. Out of the ones I've tested it's the only one with an xlsx extension - not sure if that's related. Please fix! Thanks.
