Google
has officially announced that it will soon be removing Quickoffice app
from Google Play and App Store, as the company has merged its features
into Google Drive and in the new
introduced
document editing apps like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Notably,
existing users will have the Quickoffice app in their phone's app
drawer, but will receive no further updates.
"With the integration
of Quickoffice into the Google Docs, Sheets and Slides apps, the
Quickoffice app will be unpublished from Google Play and the App Store
in the coming weeks. Existing users with the app can continue to use it,
but no features will be added and new users will not be able to install
the app," wrote Google on its apps updates
page.
The
Quickoffice suite allows viewing, editing and creation of Word, Excel
and PowerPoint documents, and allows users to store them on Google
Drive. The app has been around for quite some time now since Google
purchased QuickOffice back in June of
2012.
Later in September 2013, Google made
Quickoffice
mobile app free for both Android and iOS users.
Last week at the
Keynote I/O, Google
announced
its new Drive for Work service that integrates Quickoffice features in
it, with native editing tools not requiring conversion into Google Drive
files. Designed for enterprise, the Drive for Work service comes with
an unlimited storage option for a minimal $10 per month per user, along
with improved file sharing and editing between groups.
Google
last week also released its new
Slides app
for Android, after announcing it back in May alongside the launch of
the Docs and Sheets apps with offline editing capabilities for Android
and iOS. The iOS app for Slides is still 'coming soon'.
