Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you add an underline from Tools → Home, change underline color, and remove the format by tapping the same control again.	Word supports underlining text and also provides underline style and color options.	Google help content shows underline support for text formatting, while public help pages provide less detail about expanded underline styling options.	Notion supports underline formatting and provides the Ctrl/cmd + U shortcut for underlining text.	Adobe Acrobat is mainly designed for PDF work and annotation, with public help content focused more on comments, markup, and PDF editing than standard word-processing underline formatting.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: On Android, the entry path is concentrated in Tools → Home, which is convenient for touch-based add, recolor, and remove actions in one place.	Compared with WPS: Word offers more underline style controls, but its interaction path differs by product form and is not centered on this Android text-formatting flow.	Compared with WPS: Google public help emphasizes basic text formatting, with less visible guidance on underline color adjustments in the referenced help content.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports underline, but its official note is centered more on general editing and keyboard shortcuts than on mobile formatting paths.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is better aligned with PDF review and annotation scenarios rather than routine text layout editing on Android documents.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to underline text, adjust underline color, and continue editing on an Android device, WPS provides a direct touch-friendly path. Microsoft Word is more suitable when you need more detailed underline style controls, while Notion and Adobe fit their own collaboration or PDF-focused workflows.
