Zoho offers real-time collaborative text editing, allowing you to work on documents with collaborators in real time.
Pros
What I really like is that, in addition to its writing capabilities, Zoho Writer allows you to integrate other software such as Google Drive or OneDrive, making it easy to access and import your stored files.
Cons
What I don't like is the interface, which I personally don't appreciate much, despite it being a good text editing tool.

I use it because of its simplicity and the fact that sharing and downloading your document in multiple formats is much easier than with Google Docs or Microsoft Word on Android.
Pros
Zoho writer is an excellent, completely free document editor with an elegant design and awesome export options.
Cons
I have only found three small issues with Zoho writer:
1) Onboarding within the Android app is slow and often crashes the app
2) Copy Paste from other apps is slightly strange and loses all formatting, including paragraph breaks.
3) There is no markdown support
Response from Zoho
Hi Tejas,
Thank you for appreciating Zoho Writer. Regarding the onboarding issue you've mentioned we're actively working on resolving them and it should be available soon. Also we would like to let you know that Zoho Writer supports markdown in its web version: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/writer/user-guide/editing-formatting/working-with-text/articles/working-with-text#Introduction_to_Markdown_in_Zoho_Writer.

Considerably more powerful than Google Docs and just as free
Reviewed on 2018/06/23
Pros
Any frustrated user of Google Docs should run not walk to check out Zoho Writer, a free online collaborative writing tool that equals Docs in every way and surpasses it in many others. Yes, you can collaborate with others on a document, just like Docs, which means you can comment, contribute together, and write together in real time. It's also easier to track and see changes in Zoho Writer than it is in Docs. You can publish to a Wordpress blog. Seriously I would need to write a blog post to over Zoho Writer's features than Docs can't match, but here's a few that I like and use: Templating (any doc you create can become a template for new docs); built-in mail merge; electronic signatures, importing documents from other cloud drives; saving to other cloud drives; per document offline mode; exporting as epub, open document (or Word, of course); a well-designed interface with color icons; personal dictionary; Quick Text (autotype of sorts); built-in thesaurus; endnotes and footnotes; table of contents; extensive formatting and printing tools.... OK, I'll stop. The feature list is extensive. If there's something Zoho Writer lacks, I haven't noticed it yet.
Cons
It runs a little slow on underpowered machines, like the Chromebook I'm writing on now. Also, it wasn't immediately apparent how to turn off seeing and tracking changes.
