We have already reported the news that Microsoft has released the Office suite for iPad, including Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. But as it turned out, Microsoft decided not to stop only on the iPad and released Office also for iPhone smartphones, as well as for devices based on the Android operating system. At the same time it is distributed on these platforms for free.
The long-awaited Office for iOS and Android allows users to create, view and edit documents, create presentations, has the ability to connect to the cloud storage and allows you to store all your documents and notes online, giving them access from anywhere on Earth.
However, there is a catch here: the free version of Office is very limited in functionality and allows you to only view and save documents. If you want to be able to create or edit documents on your mobile device, then you will have to subscribe to Office 365, which will cost $ 9.95 per month. In addition, Microsoft announced a personalized subscription to Office 365:
“Office 365 Personal” is a new offer for a subscription to the Office 365 service. The license is for personal use and allows you to use Office on two devices: a computer running Windows or Mac and a tablet. The estimated cost of “Office 365 Personal” in Russia will be 1999 rub. per year or 199 rubles. per month. The subscription includes the latest versions of Office applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook, which are constantly updated to meet the needs of users, ”reports the official Microsoft website.
In other words, the free version of Office for iPhone and Android will be useful only to those who need to view or save documents. And if you need more features, you'll have to pay.
Office for iPhone and Android are already available for download in the App Store and Play Market, respectively.
