CloudOn Brings Productivity to Tablets with Gesture-First Document Editor


MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

CloudOn, a leader in mobile productivity, today unveiled a completely new experience for creating and editing mobile documents with a gesture-first doc editor that removes all the clutter, overload and lag of yesterday's tools. Now people can intuitively create and collaborate on thoughts, ideas and information in ways that fits with the way they work.

New Product Advancements

CloudOn's new iPad app offers people a mobile experience unlike anything else on the market. It's designed for mobile experience makes it fast and easy to express what you want to say or share - in words, pictures, and more. Key features include:

  • Gesture-first design: Made for ease and speed. Just tap, type, pinch and swipe to create, edit, style and more.
  • Compatible: Works with Microsoft (News - Alert) Word, so you can read, edit and share without worrying about formatting or compatibility.
  • Open: Works with Dropbox, Box, Google (News - Alert) Drive and Microsoft OneDrive, so you can access all your existing files without moving anything.
  • Offline ready: Work on docs from anywhere, even on a plane.

Why The Mobile Document Is Broken

Mobility has changed the way we work, yet document editors have not changed for mobile use. A recent mass consumer survey revealed there is a massive gap in mobile productivity solutions. 85 percent of people feel limited when working on documents from their mobile devices. And 80 percent want an easier way.

People feel limited in the following ways:

  • 83 percent feel existing software/apps don't work well enough
  • 86 percent feel existing solutions are hard to navigate
  • 65 percent cite incompatibility issues with Microsoft Word files

Executive Quotes

"CloudOn was the first company to bring Microsoft Office to mobile devices, delivering mobile productivity to millions of people," said Milind Gadekar, CEO and co-founder of CloudOn. "We are excited to transform this space once again with the launch of our new doc editor. Users will benefit from the intuitive, designed-for-mobile experience, without losing the functionality of Word documents."


"The iPad is still a consumption device for most people," said Jay Zaveri, co-founder and Chief Product Officer. "There's been little innovation around mobile content creation - it's still stuck in the 'point and click' era. Document creation can be fundamentally changed by 'gesture-first' design - tap, hold, grab and move things naturally. This launch is a step in that direction."
