Best Office Apps (Docs, spreadsheet excel, etc)

What are the best office apps? (docs, spreadsheets, etc)
I am compiling a list of the best apps of each category, so leave your opinion and a quick reason to help out the community.
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I have not tested any but here are some good ones I've read about to get started.
Documents to go
Quick Office
Office Suite
Hopefully some of you guys have tried them all and know the best!

Docs to go seems best for me

docs are pretty badass

Docs to go +1

I have docs to go and quick office and quick office is the only one that allows you to edit docs with headers in them.

+1 for Docs to go too.
The free app is useful, but if you want to edit them or create a new one, it'll cost you $15. But it's money well spent!

i have all the 3 . -
PROS -
office suite has better editing options and the only one that can open password protected docs .
Can insert images in documents.
Quick office - i mainly use it as a search tool.. fast search and opens files.
Documents to go.. i wasted my money.. really dissappointed ( coming from windows mobile ) . hopefully their updates in future will add more options.

I've tested Docs to Go and Quick Office. Docs to Go was the best but I find it isn't as good as WM Office Mobile for the moment.
There's also OliveOfficeEditor and OliveOfficeViewer. I can't say I really tested them. Just installed, didn't like and uninstalled within 5min.

The one that came with GSII, does any one have the working apk?? My room doesn't have it, and I kind of miss it for fast viewing docx files...

I'm looking for the one that came on my cappy (at least, I think it did) but it's not on my rom. I'm using OliveOffice right now and it's okay, but if anyone has the apk for the cappy or SGSII and wouldn't mind sharing, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm also using Polaris on my phone but when I looked in the market, it's not there.
Looking for a good office app for my tablet.

What about Kingsoft Office?

I love Smart Office from times when i was using Nokia phones.
Still love it on Android. Nice UI which i appreciate much. Dont know if other apps have more features. Smart office has enough features for me

Best email app?

I am a concert from the iphone and I am used to emails autofitting the screen. On this phone neither the gmail not the notice email app does that. I hate scrolling left and right when an email has an image or text that is not in simple format.
Anyone know an email app as good as the iphone native one. Presentation wise.

Havent tried these, but they may fit the bill as to what you're looking for:
MailDroid

InoMail

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Not quite sure if it's visually the same as the iPhone App but K-9 Mail is simply the absolute best in my opinion and rock solid. Not only does it resize for you but you can also get rid of that annoying conversation view in Gmail.

I looked at the first two suggestions and not like them. Will try K9 next.

Seems non that I have found can handle mail like the iphone. Search continues.

Two good ones.

Not as simple as the iphone mail, but if you want to connect to exchange and get the most use out of it, Moxier Mail is the best one I've used. You can sync calendar, conacts, todo items. It's also the most expensive at 20$ but it was worth it to me.

Before I found the 'GoogleEmail' Exchange updated apk's, I bought Enhanced Email, which worked fine because it was light years better than the stock Samsung email client, but since using the Google version, I have not reinstalled Enhanced Email. Just my $.02

I'm still using Gmail. Is it worth switching to something like enhanced email (got it for free from an amazon app of the day) or the ICS email client? What does it offer? I

Keep gmail installed, but try the others. The ICS email client is really nice from what i've heard, and i'm a personal promoter of k9mail myself, its my favourite.

To be honest, I haven't found a single email app for exchange that is anywhere as elegant as the stock iPhone mail app. Love or hate the iPhone, the stock mail app is honestly a brilliant piece of software.

I've tried them all, none of them have left me very happy compared to the iPhone mail app. Touchdown wasn't too bad, but the idea of paying $20 for something not as good as stock on my previous phone was a serious turn-off.

Well I guess the search continues huh? I realize I'm not the norm, but I find Gmail to work just fine, except with certain attachments.

Cannot attach documents?

I just read TechHive's review of this tablet that I am really seriously considering buying (they are one of the few positive reviewers that I've seen outside of XDA), and it mentions that you cannot attach a file to your Gmail and send it to someone. Link is below, to see what I mean (screenshot wouldn't work for some reason).
I don't understand why in the world Samsung would do that... Is this true? Is there a workaround? I use K-9 mail, so would this still be an issue for me?
Thank you, I hope to join the Note 10.1 community soon (officially).

No it's not true, see the screenshot that I have attached, I have blanked out personal/private info. The red arrows show that I have sent attachments from my Gmail account.

Hey thanks for that!
Why the heck would the reviewer state that? Maybe the demo model was not the same as the finished product?
Either way, I'm really glad to see that it works fine. That would be a big mistake if Sammy didn't support attachments via Gmail.

Using K-9, you will have no problem. Using the Gmail client, the ONLY problem I had was d/l some unassociated files. I got the "Attach Email" from the store and it works great. Can d/l any files now. You do have to use things like a file browser or the share link in applications to attach many files to an email. I like K-9 for the pgp support, but use gmail most of the time.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know! I never use the stock Gmail app anyway.

Best Mailbox Alternative for Android?

I recently discovered this app called Boomerang and it seems a pretty close alternative to the OVERHYPED Mailbox app for iPhone.
Have any of you guys tried the boomerang app? Is it as good as Mailbox? Does it deserve more hype?
Learn more about the Boomerang app here:

Looks promising only drawback for me is it doesn't have support for exchange yet.

Well it is Gmail only for now but I expect support for other mail services and exchange is coming soon.

K9 Mail is great. I have been using it for some time now and don't have any problems with it. It supports multiple accounts and also has a unified inbox which is really useful.

What is so great about Apple mailbox? My mother has it and I thought it was lame

not the Apple Mail app, but the Mailbox app
i use gmail, i also have a yahoo mail account that i sometimes use, but their app is not as good as gmail
(i tend to use official apps, not apps from third party)

Having come from iOS, this is one of the few apps I miss. This and Sunrise. Apparently there is a version in the works for Android. I don't get why people are so lazy with android apps? Are they much harder to create or something?

I've been using K9 mail ever since I began using android devices and it has never steered me wrong. I am able to manager 3 gmail accounts and 1 hotmail account flawlessly.

Mail app sans exchange security / admin settings ?

Love this device. Just need to get on my exchange account without giving the IT guys at work all those rights to my device.
They' re using exchange 07 and upgrading to 10 in a few weeks.
Thanks

You need to go with an app like Touchdown then...unless you do some major fiddling around. I think a global search on XDA will come up with some hits to a "native Android" mail app to get around Exchange servers security requirements. Touchdown is much easier...

As one of those IT guys, chances are it matters little to them.
Touchdown works well. If y'all are cloud based then AFAIK your IT dept might well have little control over the config. Native box on site, more local admin control. But keep in mind, Exchange 2K7/2K10 can get squirrely when a device other than MS connects. Apps like Touchdown do help smooth the road a bit. You may want to sit down with your IT people.....get 'em a coffee...and see what can be worked out.
