T3: Microsoft Office Apps for iOS and Android

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Diana

MS Office App

Microsoft just released iPhone versions, updated versions for iPad, and preview versions for Android tablets of its popular Office apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). The best part of this announcement is that you no longer need a subscription to Office365 in order to get the apps–they are free for anyone.

You can download the iOS apps directly from Apple’s App Store. You will need to sign up with Microsoft to gain access to the preview versions of the Android apps.

    I’m really happy Microsoft decided to take a step in the right direction by making these apps free for users. I wasn’t excited about the idea of a subscription to use them, so this is fantastic news.
