A systematic evaluation of mobile spreadsheet APPS

The power and flexibility of spreadsheets have made them an essential part of modern business. The increasingly mobile nature of business has created a need to access spreadsheets while on the move. Mobile devices such as the Apple iPhone and Blackberry have enabled users to do this but the small nature of these devices has caused a number of issues for mobile spreadsheet users. This paper presents a systematic evaluation of mobile spreadsheet apps available on the iOS platform which not only includes an examination of the range of available features and functions but also examines the usability of these applications. This work also recommends some ways in which the usability of mobile spreadsheet apps can be improved.
