Google Slides App for Android Now Available; iOS App Is 'Coming Soon'
Google in early-May announced it was removing the document editing feature (offline or online) from the Google Drive app, and introduced three new standalone apps for the same - Docs, Sheets, and Slide. While Docs and Sheets were released immediately for Android and iOS, Google had promised to release the Slides app soon.

The Mountain View giant on Wednesday finally released the Slides app for Android, alongside numerous other more major announcements at Google I/O 2014. Unfortunately, no further details about the release of the iOS version of the Slides app have been given, apart from a 'coming soon.' Later in May, the Drive app even prompted users to install the Docs or Sheets app before trying to edit the relevant documents.

The Slides app for Android is now available to download for free via Google Play, and can be considered the Google equivalent of Microsoft's PowerPoint and Apple's Keynote. The app's description on the store reads, 'Create, edit, and collaborate with others on presentations from your Android phone or tablet with the free Google Slides app.'

The Google Slides app allows users to create new presentations or edit any that were created on the web or on another device. Users will be able to share presentations and work together with others in the same presentation at the same time. They can also open, edit, and save Microsoft PowerPoint files.

As mentioned earlier, the Slides app brings the offline editing feature, and Google emphasises how users will never have to worry about losing their work, as everything is saved as it is typed. Users will be able to see revision history to scrutinise or recover older versions of the same presentation, sorted by date and who made the change.

Google also says users can also present directly from the app. Apart from adding and rearranging slides, and formatting text and shapes, and even embedded videos, Google is also touting the variety of themes, fonts and animations available to choose from. As before, users will be able to convert presentation files between PowerPoint and Slides formats.
