iPad Why Google apps are so bad?

[fwmireault]

Why are we in 2021 an apps like Google Docs or Google Sheets are so painful to use on a iPad? Key features are missing, the compatibility with cursor and trackpad is terrible to say the least, and the user interface is just not intuitive and simple. Why a service-centred company like Google would offer such a poor experience of their services on a tablet? These aren’t productivity apps at all.

They are competitors after all. Why are Microsoft Office products so bad on the iPad? Or Adobe Photoshop?

Agree, don't want to use those apps on iOS at all

The competitor thing doesn't make sense. Crappy Google iOS applications are supposed to make me want to buy/use more of their products?

Google Maps is the only one I use regularly.

MS Office apps on iPad aren’t bad at all, at least in comparison to GSuite.

I actually agree with that to a point - they are missing functionality I need but are quite good for most usage. Same thing with Photoshop. I was being a bit sarcastic - these apps tend to be excoriated as terrible on the iPad.
