In 2012, Google purchased the Quick Office app from its developer. Quick Office was an iOS app (later available for Android too) that allowed users to create and edit Microsoft Office documents. It also allowed users to use multiple cloud-based services to store their documents and also allowed users to transfer documents to a PC or Mac via wifi. The pro version was a paid app and cost users between $30 and $15 dollars. In September 2013, Google announced that it would no longer sell Quick Office on the iTunes App store. They also removed all of the document sharing features outlined above. Any documents in the app were effectively lost. In its place they offered a free app of their own design. It did not feature any of the document sharing services except for its own Google Drive service. In fact it now required the user to set up a Google Drive account in order to function. In addition, the new app, Quickoffice, did not allow editing or creation of documents; it only allowed users to view them. To edit documents the user had to download the Google Drive app.

This petition seeks to bring Google's questionable business practices to light. It is the petition writer's opinion that Google only purchased Quick Office in order to remove a competitor from the marketplace. It did so in bad faith with the Quick Office user community both before and after the acquisistion. Google did not have a comparable app and they were unable or unwilling to develop one. Also Google sought to force the adoption of their own Google Drive service through brute force rather than allowing the free market and the user base decide for themselves. 

At the very least Google should refund the purchase price of the app to the affected users. Google has stated one of its guiding principles is "Don't be evil." I think they should prove it.
