History

The software was first released as a mobile application on Palm OS in 2004 (incorporating older MobiSystems apps: Quick Spell, Quick Check and Quick Write), followed by Symbian in 2005. Until 2009, OfficeSuite was mainly used as a reader. Then MobiSystems received an inquiry by Sony for an Android based office solution development. Sony required it within a very narrow time frame - just 12 weeks.^[4] Apparently the developers succeeded and Sony preinstalled the newly developed OfficeSuite on all of their Android devices in 2009. Several years later the software debuts on iOS in 2013 and the year 2016 marked the first desktop client version for Windows^[5]. Today, OfficeSuite is a very powerful office solution that has extensive features used by millions of businesses and users around the globe. In 2018 the app was selected by Google to be among the few to receive Android Excellence Award^[6].
