From InfoWorld: As Google last week introduced new features for its online and Android productivity apps, it also quietly announced that it has halted development on Quickoffice and would soon pull the free software from the Google Play and Apple App Store.
"With the integration of Quickoffice into the Google Docs, Sheets and Slides apps, the Quickoffice app will be unpublished from Google Play and the App Store in the coming weeks," Google stated in a short announcement posted to the Google Apps blog last Wednesday. "Existing users with the app can continue to use it, but no features will be added and new users will not be able to install the app."
As of Sunday, Quickoffice was still available in both Google Play and the iOS App Store.
The demise of Quickoffice was not unexpected. In late April, Google unbundled its monolithic Google Drive app -- previously the starting point for accessing Google Docs, Sheets or Slides files from a smartphone or tablet -- into three separate apps for Android and iOS, making Quickoffice even more redundant than it had been previously.
