Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite, the classiest Microsoft document reader and editor in the App Store till the previous week. However since the foray of Documents To Go, which came with and without support for Microsoft Exchange attachments; tongues have been waging in the industry about going for competitive analysis of both applications.
Quickoffice vs. Documents To Go
Interface. Both Quickoffice and Documents To Go can view Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDFs, and iWork documents. Yet, Quickoffice can generate and edit Word and Excel files, while Documents To Go can only edit and create Word docs.
File support. Both the applications will not be able to transfer files via a USB drive hookup or through pairing over a Wi-Fi network.
Price. Documents To Go is less expensive (about $5 and $10) than Quickoffice; while Quickoffice's Mobile Suite is priced at $20.
Image quality. Both Quickoffice and Documents To Go have credibly clear and realistic interpretation of images and text.
Editing tools. Editing tools is much more easily accessible in Quickoffice; while the Documents To Go app has only the word-only editing facility. Neither app can create or edit Office 2007 files at present; however, both had plan to add that in future releases.
Layout and usability. Quickoffice's menu systems scores over Documents To Go in easy accessibility and usability. Still, Documents To Go's more premium app keeps the options open for reading attachments sent over Microsoft Exchange. The setup process is a bit tricky when you start with; however as you go about it the actual procedure of reading and saving is quite smooth.
And the winner is….
Although there is no set rules to judge this application -- Quickoffice and Documents To Go, believes in following a simple calculation. Those who prefer and actively work with Excel documents should adhere to Quickoffice. And those who rely more on reading e-mail attachments should opt for the premium version of Documents To Go.
