However, for those that are looking for a more comprehensive Microsoft Office experience, a personal subscription is $6.99 monthly to be able to download the apps on one desktop and mobile device each with access to the Web-based versions of the apps. Users that would only need to make a few edits here and there while on the go might not need an Office 365 subscription to utilize the new apps. Using Reflow makes documents fit better on the iPhone's screen to make it easier for users to find where they need to make any changes on the document. The iPhone version of the apps also provides users with the Reflow option, which is a separate viewing option. In addition, the new apps are developed to work well on the smaller screen of the iPhone, with a Ribbon-like interface to allow all editing options to be accessed even while using only one hand on the smaller body of the iPhone. For more advanced editing features, however, users will still require an Office 365 subscription.
The new Word, Excel and Powerpoint are available for free download from the App Store, all coming with basic editing capabilities for documents under each app. However, that did not allow the user to create documents, and required an Office 365 subscription for the user to do more than just read documents. Instead, these new apps are updates that allows for additional features on both iOS devices, with each app receiving optimization upgrades to work better on which device it is being used on.īefore this release, the only available app was Office for iPhone, which is a single app that allows users to connect with their OneDrive. One important thing to note with the new freemium Microsoft Office apps is that they are not simple ports of the versions for the iPad. Microsoft Office for iOS devices are also now universal, meaning that one download of the apps will allow it to work on both the user's iPhone and iPad.
