Despite the advances and current technology to carry documents , access them in the cloud or create and edit them from the smartphone ortablet, it seems that it is still a field that is not very innovative and adapted to portable devices And it is that the Most of them tend to take as a base tools like Microsoft Office and take them to these terminals, where there is no physical keyboard comfortable or a mouseSomething a former employee of Facebook noticed, thus creating Quip
This is a tool to create and edit text documents comfortably through any device. All this making use of its technology and possibilities, which includes working with other users on the same document, a direct relationship with these, notifications, a work system adapted to the user and a long etcetera more. All this through a simple and comfortable application, with a meticulous visual aspect reminiscent of a notes application but with very professional functions. Of course, it is supported by the freemium system That is, to make use of all its possibilities it is necessary pay about 12 euros per month, focusing on these issues to use professional
Its use is quite simple, working in a similar way to how Internet storage tools do like Google Drive The first thing to do is to create a user account using an email. This also means having access to the contacts attached to that account through Quip, providing a path to direct contact through instant messages or, directly, by giving permission to create and collaborate on text documents. All this in real time. In addition, with this account a space is created to store all the documents, saving the changes that occur evenwhen there is no Internet connection
What really draws the attention of this application is that Quip adapts the contents to any screen of a device.In this way, it is possible to use Microsoft Office Word documents on any device, knowing that their reproduction and editing through the smartphone or tablet will be convenient. All this including images that fit the ideal viewing size, just like the tables, being able to move them with your finger if they are wider than the document, without having to move the entire document and lose the current location.
The social aspect is one of the key points of this tool. Something in which its creator, a former worker at Facebook, has a lot to do with it. Collaboration is the key to Quip , being able to do it through the own document or with a messaging system and notifications always active.Thus, it is enough to access any document to first find the chat, or access the application and find the notificationsof revisions or new content carried out by collaborators.
At the moment, Quip looks like a text processor with many possibilities on portable platforms. We will have to see how it evolves. At the moment you can download free for iPhone and iPad via App Store In addition, there is a version of test for Android users who don't want to wait to try it out. It's found at Google Play and it's also free.
