Leave a Review Microsoft 365 (Office)
Where Would I Be Without You?
The positive impact Office productivity suite and it’s communication tools has had on my life is almost incalculable; that is, as long as you don’t apply Office’s significant calculation tools! Office easily carried me all the way to my doctorate program and probably would have carried me all the way through, if it only had a medical application. I’ve enjoyed Office most of my life. It became my platform from which I articulated myself to others. It is my storage box. It is my diary!Show lessmedicman615
Hard to edit
I am currently a grad student and I am often unable to edit documents made by my professors. Many of them put in drop down options within their documents and I am unable to see or select any options. If parts of the document are locked so that I can only fill in specific parts, I am unable to edit the document at all. I have only been able to edit these documents on an actual computer with the full program. The entire reason for the app is so that we can fully edit documents which is impossible. I’m very frustrated with this app and it’s programming.Show lesscbott772
Constant issues on ipad
Initially this worked great. Over a short period Office started to slow when opening and now it just continuously crashes. Not happy as use this in the covid space to work remotely from home. Please fix this…Fu$$trated
This App was working great but now its trash.
I use this app my first semester in college, and it was great. My second semester, I have been having issues with my documents not saving correctly. I receive an error message that changes have been made and it cannot save. I have to delete the work I have done already and order for it to be saved. I try to copy, delete and paste it back in and that still does not fix my issue. There are some settings that are easier to do on the app instead of the website, but because it is not saved, I cannot access the changes online. I’m not sure what update has occurred in the last 2-3 weeks but PLEASE FIX IT!Show lessMarleynaaa95
Inconsistent
I don’t know why but the recent update has limited the number of pens and highlighters you can use. As a student it is very frustrating to have a setup messed up mid-semester. Please return it to the original and fix actual problems
Continues to randomly shut down during use. This has not been a recent problem. No active efforts have been made to resolve this. I am unsatisfied. When it works it’s great but that’s 4 times out of 10Show lessSir-Viper 6083
Fine for business as they would likely buy the updates frequently
We as a generation grew up using word as standard (back when it was a one time purchase in the ‘old days’ )
It’s not an unreasonable price but like any subscription paying for this product for the rest of my life in order to use it is a bit depressing.
It’s not a whole, product type deal it’s locked to one account unless you buy a family order. By the time I’d be paying the £6 for the monthly usage for 2 years (which you’d hope would last as my kids would need it for at least 5 years, in terms of functionality as it’s such a very short time for a piece of software to last updated) I’d be paying more than the £150 price you could previously get the set for.
The download is free on iPad but completely unusable without buying a subscription, and I mean unusable. Can’t do anything but view things, which considering schools use it to email news to parents is lucky.
For the reason it is unusable in its current form a person can only rate it as low as it currently is.
Thank you genuinely for the modest benefit of allowing me to read documents. In this day and age it is a privilege depressingly 🥲.Show lessBugsouls
Great for College
This app is amazing for writing essays on the go. I recently got the Magic Keyboard for my iPad and I’ve been using it for essays. My only issue is that I wish I could add my google drive as a location to save my files to. Everything is saved to my google drive and I prefer it over one drive. It’s a major pain having to save my files to the files app and then transfer it over to my google drive. (Honestly I wish the desktop version of word would allow you to add a google drive to a location you can save to, but this is a review about the iPad app so, whatever.)Show lessAlberich_
Disappointed
I really like this app. It’s very useful to have on my phone, as it allows me to do my work for college on the go. I have had one major issue with it. I spent four hours on an essay for English, and it was perfect. About 15 minutes before class, I was editing it just before I was going to print it. I had all the text highlighted, and I was just changing the paragraph spacing and font. I somehow hit the backspace and I lost all of the text. My phone buffered for a moment. I wasn’t panicking, at first. I hit the undo button, but nothing happened. I tried a couple more times, still nothing. A little bit of panic started to set in, but I was trying not to freak out. I went back to the paper’s history, and it hadn’t saved for hours. This essay was a big part of my grade, and it was all gone. Sure, I should have manually saved it, but it usually saves on it’s own. Moral of the story, save your work, because the app might not.Show lessalexisrose22543
Trash on IPad
I am a college student using Microsoft Office for essays and assignments. There are a lot of things that bug me about the app structure but my biggest complaint is the app’s constant lagging. Whenever I type on the app for a bit more than, say, 30 minutes, the app stalls to a halt. When it gets to that point, when I type, the letters come on the screen seconds after I type them in. And even when I try to close the app down and open the Doc, the app still stalls. Then, I resort to switching to the Word app (which does the same thing), and I just fall into a cycle of switching between apps. I have an 2021 IPad 12.9 Pro that I recently bought, so I know that my device isn’t the problem. I also don’t know why it takes so long for documents to save on the app. When I finish typing and go back to the Home Screen, the doc says that its still uploading onto OneDrive. When it comes down to this, I usually switch to Google Docs, and I never see the same problems I have with Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word. Please Microsoft, I want to use your apps, but I can’t deal with the constant stallingShow lessjiminhasjams
What’s wrong with you? Corporate policies MDM are applied to personal accounts!
I do not know what happened if that is fault of our corporate policy or Microsoft fail to implement MDM, or Apple fail to provide proper functionality in iOS 15 … but I do not understand why I’m blocked by our corporate policy everywhere means in all Microsoft applications. Whenever I would like to open document from my private Teams in word, excel, power point, I’m always failing with inaccessibility because for some reasons corporate policies are applied to my personal account. What the heck ! I can’t simple print nothing. How is that even possible. Aren’t all applications send boxes how Microsoft achieved this stupidity !? I don’t care who’s fault it is, just fix it asap! Totally useless app which leads me to use purely Apple products like Pages, Numbers, etc.Show lessPATRIKCZE
