Google Releases Standalone Slides App For iOS

Earlier in April, we saw Google removing the features Sheets and Docs from its Drive application. Later, these features were released as standalone applications. Google followed similar measures in case of Slides and removed the feature on Android this June. The feature is now available as a standalone app. The major advantage for Apple users is that this standalone app is available for iOS.

In addition to the release of Slides app for iOS, Google has also made changes to the Sheets and Docs apps and both these standalone apps will now work on the Apple platform. Google promises that with the update, users will be able to make editing works much easier and simpler. The update enables the users to edit Microsoft Office files with the help of Google Docs on the user’s iOS device. Li-Wei Lee, a software engineer at Google wrote in his blog post, "We're delivering on our promise to make it possible for you to work with any file, on any device, any time."

This means it does not matter whether you are having a Chrome book, an Apple device, an Android phone or tablet, you can start working with the files whether you are online or offline. The apps can come handy in times of difficulties. For instance, if you are stuck in a place with no access to internet but want to make changes to an important presentation, then these updated apps would come to your help.

Now, if you are working with Microsoft Office, you may use Slides, Sheets, or Docs to open a contract that is stored in the Word program. You can also copy the contents to an Excel sheet and then move to PowerPoint. According to Lee, all these functions can be carried out from the device, which you find most suited or convenient.

According to OmniTech Support reviews on the Google tools, the collaboration tools released by Google will help the users to convert the old Microsoft Office files to Sheets, Slides or Docs. Users can then make use of these files to work with their machines. The program also allows users to edit the files offline and it does not matter whether you are using a web based service or a mobile app.

For further assistance on the new apps, you may go through OmniTech Support reviews on the app or contact their technical support team.
