Reading the basic description of what an app is is not equivalent to reading a manual.

Please, give me a break. I installed Quickoffice acquired by Google to read documents. I don't assume that I need to read any description.

QuickOffice was always a MSOffice formats editing tool for mobile devices. Its never been a generic document reader. You assumed, for no discernable reason, that it was.

Maybe you should re-evaluate your assumptions about the need to read descriptions of apps before you install and run them.

You make me laugh, seems like you follow first order logic in a human discussion.

Let me speculate what would happen if Google applied your thinking:

- You could not integrate Google Adwords with Google Analytics because there were part of different companies.

- Android could not integrate with Google Search Engine because it was only part of a mobile innitiative.
