If you’ve been using Google Sheets on the web, you’ll easily go from the web app to the Android app. Google Sheets for Android has most of the same features as the web version, and with the Google Sheets app, you can start working in the web app and continue your work from your mobile device.
Google Sheets is free for non-business use and works with a free Gmail email address. Sheets is also a part of Google Workspace, an integrated collaboration environment that merges Gmail, Chat, and Meet, as well as Google’s other apps.
