Microsoft makes Office Apps free for iOS and Android
Microsoft has made its Office Web Apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint free for iOS users, with Android versions to follow soon.
Since Microsoft released the apps in March, only people subscribing to Office 365 have been able to use the full versions of the apps. Non-Subscribers could use the apps, but only to view existing documents, and copy and paste content.
Now, all iOS users can create Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations on their iPhone and iPads for Free. The android versions are expected to launch in December, so an early 2015 release for the full versions is expected in early 2015.
There are still some features available only to Office 365 subscribers. These include unlimited free storage in OneDrive, using collaboration tools to word on documents with several people and editing files in Dropbox using 365.
Experts say that Microsoft decided to make its Office apps available for free because people are unwilling to pay for online office suites now that there are so many free options available. These include Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, which can be used through Google Drive, and Apples iWork office suite, which is free for people who bought their iPhone or iPad after September 2013.
