In Pictures: The best office apps for Android tablets

Android tablet word processor: The verdict

If you're a devoted Docs user who doesn't need advanced word processing capabilities, the Google Docs app might do the trick for you -- particularly if you're interested in real-time Docs-based collaboration. For most users, though, OfficeSuite Pro will provide the best experience for word processing on an Android tablet. Its only notable flaw is the lack of an integrated spell-check feature, but with nearly every virtual keyboard now providing on-the-fly autocorrect and autosuggest functionality, that void is not difficult to fill. Quickoffice Pro HD is a good choice as well, but missing nice-to-haves like word count, and a less polished interface -- combined with its higher price tag -- keep it squarely in second place.
