1. [R77] 5/5 · US Great App!!!!!: I’ve been using Quip now for probably eight years and love the connectability and working on a project with others hands-down it’s just a phenomenal app. Tech-support is 400% better than any other app I’ve ever worked with. It’s just all good stuff!!!
2. [R115] 5/5 · US Quip is Fantastic!!: This is such an Amazing App. I really enjoy how easy it is to use, and the fact that you can share documents within a group, change and update docs, and have a chat line within the group you are connecting with. It's also very easy to learn, especially for beginners.
3. [R152] 5/5 · US Quip as a Collaborative Platform: Quib’s designers have created an outstanding single comprehensive creative platform. They have solved some complex problems to bring together multi format items into a secure simple environment. I am very impressed by its robustness and simplicity. In my language Simplicity = power.
4. [R247] 3/5 · US Average: Love the concept of having documents, spreadsheet, slides in one app!! And the collaboration aspect. Average because there are features that are on the computer that are not put on the mobile device. Makes it hard to work seamlessly from device to device.
5. [R73] 5/5 · US Fully Functional: Quip is one of the most advance systems I think my job is using and I hope will continue to utilize. The set up is easy, the editing is outstanding, works amazing on iPhone , really can go on but I’m at work lol . All in all amazing product!
6. [R121] 5/5 · US Great app: I have been using Quip for about a year, mainly to write my manuscript. It is a great tool, user friendly and easy to navigate. I would recommend quip to anyone looking to manage a community and anyone who is writing a manuscript.
7. [R28] 4/5 · US Love it. But developers, please fix keyboard so it can be minimized.: I love the app for active checklists. Developers, please fix the keyboard so it can be minimized after typing. The keyboard covers half the screen & the only way to minimize it after typing is to leave the note and reenter it!
8. [R144] 4/5 · US Good application but needs checklists: The main reason I use the mobile app is not for notifications but reminders of tasks and marking tasks complete. Other than that it’s a nice mobile experience.
9. [R506] 3/5 · CA Great interface: The UI is attractive. Still trying to find the easiest way to create lists. The document/photo import feature is wicked!
10. [R4] 1/5 · US Crashes constantly: I like the problems its solves, but is highly unstable in app form.
11. [R9] 1/5 · US Constantly crashes: I love the Quip mobile app when it works, as it allows me to access work-related documents on my phone. However, more often than not it is infuriating and essentially unusable because it crashes after a few seconds every time I open it. To be precise, the app suddenly backgrounds itself but appears to still be running.
12. [R11] 1/5 · US Frequent Crashes: Quip is usually great, but the past few weeks it’s been crashing constantly when viewing documents. It’s unusable right now.
13. [R13] 1/5 · US Crashes way too often: Crashes way too often. I don’t think it was always like this, but in the current state it is unusable
14. [R6] 2/5 · US Always logging in…: Why oh why do I have to log in every time I open the app, then go back and click on the link to the document I want to view as the app just opened the prior one, not the one I want to view now. Ugh. It’s the little things that are bothersome.
15. [R7] 1/5 · US Bleh: Always have to login from scratch…limited functionality
16. [R14] 3/5 · US Slow, hard to use on iPad, does not keep my login.: Every time it needs me to log in, and the sign in experience is so laggy and slow that it makes it a PITA to open a document. Also the software meaningfully lags when the doc is big. Mediocre.
17. [R18] 1/5 · US Constantly logged out: I'm logged out of quip once or twice a day, it is very frustrating to have to reauth so frequently. It doesn't even remember my email, I have to type it out every single time.
18. [R24] 5/5 · US Not iPhone friendly: It’s basically a viewer on mobile. It’s so incredibly limited. Like you can’t even upload pictures. You can for comments, but not directly into a cell…
19. [R26] 1/5 · US More mobile friendly: Needs to be more mobile friendly for iPad and iPhone
20. [R116] 5/5 · US iOS and iPad OS versions lacking feature parity: Quip on iOS and iPadOS is lacking significant features from MacOS such as @smart apps, table editing with @mentions, embedding links into texts, simple text color changes, formula use in tables, etc. Quip on the iOS/iPadOS is only for reading and the most basic of note taking. It loses much of it a collaboration strengths from the MacOS version. So
21. [R34] 5/5 · US Can’t seem work for last few months: Quip is not working for me for last few months. I am using it for my work. It just spins and spins. I close the app and retry. Same thing. Very very rarely if the spinner stops then it crashes.
22. [R36] 1/5 · US Doesn’t work well: On the mobile app specifically it won’t show anything except empty cells. I’ve tried redownloading it and it never shows anything. My whole team doesn’t use the mobile app for this reason and they said they “gave up on it”. Would really love if it worked but it doesn’t seem to.
23. [R42] 1/5 · US Crashes every session, slow load time: Un-usable app. Crashes everytime 30seconds after I open the app. Very slow loading document. I would never use it if not forced by my employer
24. [R21] 1/5 · US Formatting always disappears: The formatting options menu will disappear in time, requiring you to restart the app. This happens eventually over a 15m+ time, or any time that you add an in-line image stored via iCloud. I don’t know why, but it has never changed. Time to finally do the intelligent thing and move over to Google docs for my needs.
25. [R22] 3/5 · US App Has Gone Steadily Down Hill Since 2014: I used to love this app, but now, meh! No longer easy to insert pics: not only had it been easier in the past, but also the pics were large, gorgeous and distinctly better in quality than ANY OTHER "word processing" app's abilities and quality. Now I am lucky if I can find an icon to insert. Sometimes one pop's up out of nowhere and mostly it doesn't. I
26. [R108] 3/5 · US App is alright. Doesn’t offer option to sort alphabetically, gross oversight.: See title.
27. [R110] 4/5 · US Good but needs more formatting options: If it had the ability to format text (font, colors, highlight, etc) the app would get 5 stars.
28. [R40] 2/5 · US A Few Flaws: Deleted documents show up on a side panel to the left and say they are “loading.” That’s very annoying to look at. I can’t find a way to permanently delete documents either, so they just sit there. Also, why does this app ask me every two minutes if I want to allow a copy and paste from Google Docs? I keep selecting “don’t allow paste,” but it keeps asking regardless. I just ended up
29. [R52] 1/5 · US Atrocious UI: If I favorited a document, why is it so difficult to find it? One would imagine that a favorited document would be the easiest to find
30. [R142] 3/5 · US Love the functionality, hate the user experience: The app user experience does not work like any of my other apps. I get that it’s cross-platform, but it feels completely foreign every time I use it, and I’m grumpy about it non-stop.
31. [R149] 5/5 · US Slow, inconsistent navigation: Has become really slow of late. The app is also confusing to navigate, and opts for an Android style navigation which is bad without Android's system back. There are bugs which make you stuck on some pages until app is killed
32. [R1] 1/5 · US Retired: They’re retiring this service. Take it off!
33. [R2] 5/5 · US Why are they ending this app?: This has been one of the best and one of my most consistently used apps for years. Now I see they are shutting it down in March. I am so disappointed.
34. [R5] 5/5 · US Spreadsheets: I love quip Just too bad it’s being removed. That sucks I use this for all my jobs and more.
35. [R131] 3/5 · US Kanban board on mobile is awful: Great app but some document types (especially the Kanban board, which has a huge white tab over the entire board) are super difficult to navigate on mobile.
36. [R84] 4/5 · US Is Quip going to be vaporware or just another paid add on?: Like all Salesforce paid add ons always concerned if it will be fully integrated or slowly phased out.
37. [R25] 1/5 · US Logs me out all the time: The app keeps logging me out. This seems like a dumb reason to give a 1-star rating, but I literally avoid the app just because of that. If it must, maybe it could at least remember my username?
38. [R33] 1/5 · US Keep getting logged out: Terrible app. What does one have to do to not get logged out every single day, day in and day out??
