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.
Bump guys

nobody mention thinkoffice yet?
it comes with my LG stock froyo, which i can edit.....but now i flash a custom rom without backup it.....from the market seems that i can only get lite version, which is only a viewer.
Polaris Office
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...
thanks in advance

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 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

I didn't try version 2 (which is on marker) yet. Only used vs 1.9.2.

Check THIS post where the OP talks highly about a note taking app.
Note taking app
I recommend Beautiful Notes. I tried out several an this was the best that I found. It's available in the Market - couple of bucks I think.
Thank u guys.

I just thought that I would mention that in the Amazon AppStore the free app of the day is Handrite Note which is usually $2.99 and is free just for today.
Cheers...
(1) Buy an adonit jot stylus. It is the best one in the market. Feels just like a pen on paper.
(2) Get either ezpdf or repligo pdf. Either one of these allow you to hand write directly into the pdf file.
(3) Download the this pdf file that I made. It's got 100 pages of lined notebook paper.
(4) Write notes directly into the pdf file I linked in step 3 with the adonit jot stylus from step 1 and either of the pdf editors from step 2.
Hi everyone, I want to buy this tablet very soon ~ any way, I'm interested in a feature that will determine whether to buy it or not

Can I download a PDF books (about 1000 paper) and use s-pen to add notes and highlight things, then leave and go back and find all data I add there.
Repeat the question but put PowerPoint instead of PDF, thank you.

For pdf, you can achieve this with ezpdf amongst others. For PowerPoint, you probably will have to convert to pdf before annotating.
But both can definitely be done.

This tablet would be invaluable for a student.

Buy it!
I am a student too. I bought the note just for school, but I use it now for watching movies, calls etc.
The best thing for me as student is the s note app. I take the pen and note just like a pepper book. It is amaizing. It is like u have just one book and everything u need is in there when u study for exams I love it for my use

Here's what I use. Not a student anymore but wish I had this when I was.
Dropsync - Setup a dropbox account and buy and SD card and then use Dropsync to do a FULL sync of Dropbox to your tablet for your notes/PDF books, etc. Dropsync will also automatically upload any updated files.
ezPDF - Annotate PDF files.
Polaris - Annote office files. I have other office apps, but this is the best for annotating documents.
S-notes- I use S-notes how I would use scrap paper, short documents, small notes, ideas, brainstorming etc.
LectureNotes - This is what I use as a notebook - better note taking capabilities. If you set it to a dropsync folder it will also sync your files into Dropbox and you can view them as a PNG file if you look in that folder. Dev also mentioned they may be willing to add an automatic export to Evernote feature which would make this a killer handwritten note app.
Total app costs I think are <$10 and will be the best money you spend. Everyone will be jealous. Whenever I'm at a conference and sit next to someone with an iPad they want to know how I'm doing what I do on my tablet!

Using Polaris office you can annotate powerpoint without converting to pdf.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
well im a also student, so here is my experience.
I primarily use repligoPDF to view my pdf (usually in ppt format which i then converted into pdf thru polaris office). so instead of printing out my slides then attend class to annotate, i can simply download and annotate there on my tablet.
As for regular note taking, i use LectureNote for general class note taking. This app is THE BEST for this tablet and waaaaay better then s note. You can choose different colors to write in and the pages scroll down instead of flipping like s note (which is so much easy to view). Not to mention there is also auto scrolling in which once you to write to a certain area on the bottom of the screen, the app automatically scrolls down for you. Dont have to flip a page anymore.
After all that, you can also download Dropbox and dropbox sync (which i recently discover) and EASILY sync your notes to dropbox and view it from ANYWHERE.
dropbox sync(paid version since free version only allow upload up to 5mb per doc) basically allows you to create 2 folders, one on your tablet and one on your dropbox, and the whenever there are changes made it automatically updates/uploads the changes to the cloud storage. That way, all your notes will be backup and assessable anywhere for additional reading or if you want to print it out (despite having a tablet and going green on printing out note for note taking, i still find using print-out version for studying for exams is more natural)
I havent play around with using word or excel, but from my previous TF700(with keyboard) experience, andriod arent really made for word or excel at the moment. you certainly can open up docs and excel files to edit, but i can assure you that it feels weird. You will prolly have better luck using a comp for that anyways since tablets are really ment for on-the-go-access(mostly viewing) without the bulkiness of a laptop and doesnt really replace a laptop.
Hope this helps!

Wow respect. You're actually doing it the way Samsung intended i ditched that snotes a long time ago due to... Well everything, i was skeptical in the beginning but after getting to know lecture notes =mind blown.
How can you write that well on the multi screen Window of s notes? Do you zoom in and out for each small bit?

More's the shame. LN is a fantastic app and beats the socks off of Snote. AFAIC the only real plus to SN is multiscreen. I quit using it day one.
Half the stuff I want to do is pretty basic.
So whats the closest app to paint or paint.net?

photoshop is a great app but the problem is that that for most basic users it does not have all the features or its very difficult to acess or too cumbersome
I use photo editor.. Good, fast and have plenty of features for quick edit
Other one i use is picsay pro photo editor which was free from amazon app store sometime ago...
There are many others too.. You can try a few and see what fits u the best .
I must have installed a 4 or 5 apps.
For jeebus sake I just want to select, copy, and paste in a new file. Takes me 3 clicks in XP. Ugh.

It does not come any more basic then ps touch that came with the tablet.

I guess im looking more for a drawing app than a full blown editor.
Lets say I have a pic of a cat and I want to doodle a top hat on its head. With PS Touch its buried under a whole bunch of crap. With paint, I just start doodling.
I'll just have to google around. Or bust out the SDK and code something but I have other projects im working on right now. Moving, work, etc.

I totally agree. Especially for the tasks mentioned by the OP.
Actually I use ps touch a lot more than desktop applications now, because it is so simple to use, and the s pen gives you better feeling and accuracy.
Get PhotoDesk... open a pic, click edit and start doodling,.... plus it's got a bunch of built clip art and stuff
I think it's exactly whst you're looking for... really easy and it organizes your photos really well too...

try sketchbook x from autodesk. seems pretty good.
So just out of curiosity, what's everyone using there $25 promo on in the app store? I honestly can't think of anything I want that I already don't have. But share away anyway!
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-note-8-perks/
I bought SketchBook Pro and Camscanner. If you have the slightest interest in drawing, I highly recommend Sketchbook, it is really fun to use. I also bought Swiftkey for my phone, something I had been meaning to do. I am interested in good productivity apps if anyone has a good suggestion.
I bought Swype and Multiwindow Pro. I purchased the majority of the apps I wanted or needed with the Nexus 7 credit last fall. I might buy the HD version of camscanner.
I definitely recommend getting OfficeSuite Pro and a good reading app. I purchased MoonReader for entertainment reading and ezPDF for classes. I print out my slides as a PDF for class then annotate it using ezPDF.

ill buy Swype. I havent thought anything else. maybe Falcon Pro. since I been hearing good things about it
Assuming I can transfer my apps from my old device (this will only be my second android device), then the only thing that i'd really like is a good office suite.
I have Office Suite Pro and Polaris Office on my Transformer. Not used either extensively though and neither get the best of reviews.
Quick Office Pro is meant to be good though.
I have no idea. I got $25 twice on my Nexus 7...no idea why, but I didn't look a gift horse in the mouth. I still have like $26 of that $50 left and now I got another $25. I imagine I will eventually use it all, but I don't need a thing at the moment.
Woo! Samsung finally gave me my $25! Had to talk to them on Facebook and they finally gave me the code.
