ask lj: google docs

[coraa]

Is there any way to edit google docs via iPhone? I tried just navigating to the site and using the Google app, but no luck—both bring me to a mobile access page that appears to be read-only. And all the apps I could find are also viewers, i.e., read only.

I discovered this on Sunday when I made a shopping list in Google Docs and went to refer to it on my phone... and found that I couldn't mark what I'd already put in my cart in any way, thus removing a fair bit of the utility of having the list there.

Any thoughts?

(hello!)
I don't think there is, so far. I can't edit Google Docs content on my Android phone, either....

Google spreadsheets are editable through their iPhone web version, which might be useful for things like shopping lists.

Oh! Yeah, I didn't check spreadsheets specifically. That's very useful to know, thank you.

Hah, that's pretty funny. Today I was commenting that we could start working on something in spreadsheets over lunch... except that we couldn't since we just discovered docs was read-only. Didn't even bother checking to see if spreadsheets behaved differently, becuase, why would it? :-P

Google has Google Tasks which you can access from the iPhone. You can create them through Gmail and then pull them up on the phone.
