Leave a Review Microsoft 365 (Office)
Useful but buggy
Useful to see all your MS docs in one place but editing and even reading longer word docs is a bit of a nightmare. I find it randomly jumps back to specific points in the document meaning you then have to scroll and scroll to get back to where you started. The screen occasionally just goes white, and the longer a doc is opened the worse the accuracy of the tapping gets (in terms of selecting individual words or lines of text). Pretty buggy for a Microsoft product.Show lessIvevzon

Change the name of a document? Not today, try again later
You know how on a windows computer you can just change the name of a document while you have it open, not an option here. No big deal, I will just change it whit he 3 dot menu before opening the document, oh wait, its not an option there either. Ok i will just go to the OneDrive app to change it with the 3 dot menu, because this app wasn’t meant to combine all the office apps into one app right… oh wait now I just get an error message, this document is open for editing somewhere else, can’t change the nam try again later. The document was not open anywhere… It would be so nice if Microsoft could actually execute something successfully not just put together some crappy app just to say we have an option.Show lessFallenaway25
Yeah
It nearly always on the app says ‘their is no files here’ though it takes a while to show what really is there, so the alert is off putting, when you think it should register that many file are intact in the file and therefore say something like, ‘this # of files exist, and are loading’… takes 5min to show files, let alone let me know what’s going on, other than the false notice ‘no files’. I just rendering icon samples of the file right… I would have thought this should be instantaneous.
Also, what really disturbs me is how all the images I put under the onedrive directory don’t show as image icons. They eventually show after this and that, but it’s slow. As a designer this might just force me to give up the subscription.Show lessRun From
Terrible app
You have to pay to use word, powerpoint, excel and everything else. It wont let you edit any of those documents with premium. Its better to just download the apps separatelydhasan123
Doesn’t work. Period.
I’ve subscribed to Microsoft 365 for roughly a decade and rely heavily on OneDrive. In fact, I use only Apple devices and have stayed with Microsoft 365 due to seamless integration…. Until today. Suddenly I can’t upload files to OneDrive with my mobile devices. This is a feature I’ve relied on (and paid for) every day for a decade. Tried multiple times with both the old (suddenly defunct) OneDrive app, and the Microsoft 365 app. After a bit of toying around with the new 365 app, it finally showed my folders after initially saying I had no files. But when I try to upload an image (I use screenshots for saving receipts, etc.) it fails multiple times (it says “sorry, there was a problem”). Finally it seems to start working, but I can’t save it to a folder. It detects it’s an image and gives me editing tools, but no way to save it to a chosen folder. Not any way that’s obvious, at least. It gives an upload option, but you can’t choose where you want to save it. So I went over to the Microsoft website to seek support. No support available except “community help.” 10 years x $120 + $1200 and NO support available? I spot a “submit feedback” link, so I fill that out, hit Submit, and it doesn’t submit, even after multiple attempts. I guess they just don’t want to know if their customers have an issue.Show lessAppleUserWN
Draft Lost - Don’t Use You’ll Lose!
I had auto-save enabled and opened a Word document draft. I worked for an hour, flipping between the 365 app and a web browser with a resource I was referencing. I lost at least 150 words when I switched back to 365 and it had, I’m guessing, refreshed the app—without saving my draft, of course. I checked my temporary files, OneDrive’s restore files, etc and could not locate a temporary save of the draft. But when I click Create+ it auto-named the new, second draft “Document 2”, so I know it at least registers that the draft existed at some point. I would think toggling between two apps on a mobile device is incredibly common, and again AUTO-SAVE WAS ENABLED, so where is my draft??? I’ve now wasted an additional 30 minutes of my time trying to restore the vanished document and checking the help forums for solutions, losing a total of an hour and a half to this dysfunction. This is really frustrating, and I’m not willing to risk another MINUTE of my time to attempting my writing project in this app. My advice to others out there is to avoid this app and directly install Word, or go with the subscription-free service that’s web-based and doesn’t expect you to pay to then waste your valuable time. You know the one. ;)Show lessAWitchCalledShadow

Subscription upon subscription
I have used word for years as many have. But the thing that really boils my blood is when you buy a subscription to their expensive package and it says you haven’t got a subscription anymore half way through then it signs you up to another. There’s no clear place to sign in on word and nowhere to contact them for support. I have a strong rage every time this happens as you can guarantee it’s when you really need it to submit something for a client or professionally and it lets you down. I actually hate this. I pay £60 a year and it renews automatically next month in July, and now all of a sudden it’s offing me a one month free trial and I accept because I don’t have the time to sort it out through all their wormholes and there no clear place to cancel this new subscription, it doesn’t even flash up what details it has of mine. Help me!!!Show lessbutalonelytadpole
Doesn’t work on iPad
I have a full Office 365 subscription that I use everyday on my iMac. I’ve found in the past that Office 365 is very different on an iPad so different and so limited (compared to the full version) that it was virtually unusable. Today I was told I needed to login again - fair enough. However, when I did I was told my subscription would not work on this device. It’s a powerful M1 iPad Pro running the current iPad OS. Come off it Microsoft … you accept my family subscription for 5 devices and refuse to allow me to use Office 365 in my iPad.
In passing I’d take this opportunity to also point out that Office 365 on the iMac doesn’t have the same functionality as it does on a Windows PC. I’ve used Microsoft software professionally for over 30 years in all that time the version running on Apple hardware has been a reduce functionality version of what runs on a PC. Not good enough.Show lessHockCliffs
