Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android spreadsheets, WPS supports direct two-finger zoom gestures in the editing area, shows the current percentage on screen, and supports a 30% to 200% range.	Microsoft Office supports zooming documents, presentations, and worksheets through a zoom slider, view options, or shortcuts.	Google Docs Editors supports changing zoom from the toolbar and provides view options such as Fit.	Notion's official mobile help explains mobile usage differences, but it does not describe a dedicated document or table zoom percentage control for this scenario.	Adobe Acrobat supports zooming PDF pages in and out with magnification tools and view controls.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: direct two-finger zoom is available in Android spreadsheet editing. Distinct: the current zoom percentage appears during adjustment, which fits touch-based spreadsheet work.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official guidance focuses on status bar controls, view options, and keyboard shortcuts, mainly in desktop-style workflows.	Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance focuses on toolbar zoom and view changes, with less emphasis on touch gestures for spreadsheet editing.	Compared with WPS: Notion's official mobile page does not provide a clearly equivalent zoom-percentage workflow for spreadsheet-style editing.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's zoom tools are designed for PDF reading and page viewing rather than spreadsheet editing.

Overall Conclusion

WPS Show Scale fits Android spreadsheet work well because it supports direct touch gestures and immediate zoom feedback on screen. Other products also provide zoom controls, but their official guidance is more focused on toolbar, menu, desktop, or PDF viewing workflows rather than touch-based spreadsheet editing.
