Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports creating comments in spreadsheet cells on iOS, then viewing, editing, or deleting them by clearing the content. It also provides a floating menu path for faster access. | Microsoft Word officially supports adding, editing, deleting, and resolving comments, with contextual and list views for comment management. Its official guidance focuses on document comments rather than spreadsheet cell comments on iOS. | Google Docs officially highlights comments, task assignment, permissions, and collaboration across phone, tablet, and web. Its official product page focuses on online document collaboration rather than a local spreadsheet cell comment flow on iOS. | Notion officially supports page comments, inline comments, replies, resolve actions, edit, and delete options for page and block discussions. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports adding and managing comments in PDFs for review workflows, which is designed for PDF review rather than spreadsheet cell comments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Built for mobile spreadsheet cell comments in WPS on iOS. Distinct: You can start from either Tools > Review or the floating menu for faster comment handling. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page centers on document comment threads and comment panes, not a mobile spreadsheet cell comment path. | Compared with WPS: Google's official information emphasizes cloud document comments and team collaboration, not a direct iOS spreadsheet cell comment workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward page and block discussion instead of a traditional spreadsheet cell comment process. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF commenting and review, not spreadsheet cell-level comments. |

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical fit when you need to create, review, and remove comments directly in spreadsheet cells on iOS. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each provide official commenting features, but their published workflows focus more on documents, pages, or PDFs than on mobile spreadsheet cell comments.
