GoDocs 5.1 is here and available for your iPhone and iPad.

   This is the last update for GoDocs for this year, but not the least one. The new things that we've packed inside this update is a result of our constant work and search for ways to improve your personal productivity.

      Collection View for your Documents

By placing your documents on a nice grid - we've achieved much better visual layout and better personal productivity. And of-course you can toggle between table and collection layout.

   Background App Refresh

With advanced power of iOS 7 and Background App Refresh feature - GoDocs will stay always in sync with your Google Drive. Even if you are not using the application for a brief period.

   Long-tap to See All Folders

To see all of the nested folders or to go back to the root - long tap on the back button.

      There is so much more new and improved inside new GoDocs 5.1 And it's already available on the App Store.

The last but not the least product in our GoSeries is GoTranslate. While it looks like the complete and finite product, we still were able to find a lot of room to improve and add a lot of new things.

    We are happy to announce that GoTranslate 4 is available. The most powerful mobile translator, taken to the next level.

  These are just a few new things:

   All-new design

We started with a desire to take your existing experience even further. To achieve even simpler, more productive and more useful design, but make it still instantly familiar. The new design GoTranslate is beautiful because it's all of those things.

   All-new experience

Newly refined content layout, and gesture-based navigation are just a few of the great new things we've packed inside every of our product. And all your favorite features are still there, but have been enhanced to make everything easier to get to and use.

   All-new Speech To Text

The current experience with voice translation in GoTranslate didn't suit the shiny new design and overall level of product. That was the reason to completely redesign and reimplement it from scratch.

      GoTranslate 4 is already available on the App Store.

      That's it for GoSeries, but not exactly...

We are incredibly excited about what we have in the pipeline. We can’t wait to show you more - a bit later this year. Stay tuned for some exciting new things…

GoDocs Photos 2 is here. Your photos in sync, always.

As we reconsidered GoPhotos, our purpose was to create an experience that was simpler, more useful, and more enjoyable — while building on the things you love and are familiar with.

   We stripped away conspicuous ornamentation and removed all the unnecessary design elements. All this to achieve a greater focus and more room for your photos.

   Your photos that are already present on Google Drive won't be ever be duplicated. It doesn't matter how they got there, it doesn't matter from which device, or how long ago.

      Finally, GoDocs Photos 2 is available on the App Store.

  Here is what's new and what's the most exciting:

   All-new design

Beautifully designed from the ground up. New GoVideos delivers the best watching experience, with so many details packed inside. Like refining the typography and controls down to the pixel and sticking to a precise color palette.

   Collection of your Videos

The new collection view delivers an easy and better way to browse your favorite videos. By taking away design elements that are not immediately required, suddenly there's greater focus on what matters most - your content.

   Perfected and polished

We put a lot of work in perfecting the every single detail and step in GoVideos. On their own, these may not be details you consciously demand or even expect. But they all work together to create a more harmonious relationship between individual elements. And a better, more delightful experience overall.
