Leave a Review Microsoft 365 (Office)
Scope of improvements
First of all, thanks to Microsoft for bringing office to iPadOS. Great to have a functional app. However, there is still a lot of scope for improvements such as table border coloring, etc still not as nice as a desktop app. The file opening is slow, and could be improved. Switching multiple docs would be a plus. Also, keyboard shortcuts for page zooming, etc could be really great since most iPad pro users use the magic keyboard. Day by day, the iPad is becoming a means of desktop replacement. In addition, remote control from iOS is also very useful for frequent PowerPoint presenter.

It’s fine.
It’s fine for editing and making really basic documents. Would hate to use it exclusively on iPad. One thing that is driving me nuts is that the link to log in to university account (since they provide free 365) is underneath the “create” button. It takes a good five minutes of trying to click that link and be able to log in. Really annoying. Please move one of them so they’re both accessible simultaneously.Show lessUser8442826
Buggy
The app continually asks me to sign in. I have to clear the cache in IPhone settings, sign in again. It works for one session then same thing - everytime I open the app it says sign in but when I do it either asks me to sign in again on repeat or looks as if I am signed in but won’t sync files.
Now it’s failing to create pdfs from images so I’m giving up using itShow lesschriswhitts
Useless for IPads
I’ve had this app for my iPad for almost 2 years now and have had so many problems. Saving documents doesn’t go well even with auto save on, I’ve lost important information and assignments. It freezes way too much and when i try to send documents through the app I’m faced with loading errors, or it doesn’t work completely. I found that the basic things that this app is supposed to provide, falls short. Even copying and pasting things, i cannot directly paste onto the office app, instead i have to paste onto a different app, copy it, then paste it onto word in order for it to work. Overall a waste, save time and use google drive.Show lessandymack2121

This app is amazing and it was because of going to college for business administration. I have the access to the full version of this software I own a real estate service company, and I use this software daily to read PDF files to write contracts to use Word and all of the other tools that are available here for professional commercial business. I highly recommend this application for any one freelance entrepreneur. Business professional must have app.Show lessmajor investors LLC
Big Fan
When it comes to software for general daily business proditivity the Office Suit hits the mark. It is no wonder why they have 90% of the market (guessing). I am also an avid Apple user so it was always a bummer with the two best of the best not working in harmony. Now days, other than some goofy tool layouts, they are compatable and work seemlessly between platforms. I just bought an iPad Pro to help with my mobile business requirements and i was impressed with the application version of this software. I can do 85% of what I need to do right from my iPad Pro. The 15% is shared gaps between tablets and software as well as limited functionality of the off products as it compares to the trational computer versions. All in all, well done … can’t wait for the future improvements.Show lessStrider man
Error message prevents me from uploading changes
I have had this type of problem since roughly 2017 and it’s never been fixed by Microsoft: I keep getting the “can’t upload, please sign into your account” error message whenever (or sometimes) I try to let Word or Office app on my iPhone 13 Pro Max upload any text changes I make to my “.docx” Word document files and the result is unintended data loss on my end! This error message happens every day and I get it like five times in a row and whenever I click the “sign in again” button on the error message it never leads to anything and I have to close my app and open my current work document all over again… this makes me furious and I’ve tried to fix this and nobody has a direct answer. Also, there is a problem with the scrolling whenever I try to simply scroll to the end of my document and it bumps me around the page constantly and I have to figure out where it left me off so I can re-edit whatever it was I was editing before. Is there a reason for all of this happening? I used the Word app before on other older iPhones but they all suffered extreme data loss when I tried to simply edit and upload changes everyday I used it. Now I’m stuck! If anyone sees this then I hope they can help Microsoft or whoever makes the Office versions for iPhone work better in the future. I use Office every day!Show lessRobertHockey
Questionable reliability
Over the past 6 months, I’ve had great success transitioning between the desktop app and this iPad app and great failures, too. As other reviewers have commented, sometimes it doesn’t save work and you can’t get back hours of work. Also, sometimes something gets messed up in formatting of documents going between the desktop and iPad apps, and back the other way. In one situation, I lost a considerable amount of work on the day something was due. I was able to go back to a previous version but had to redo some of the work. It’s not as seamless as it seems it should be. Hopefully, the rebranding from Office app to Microsoft 365 is more than just a marketing change. The convenience of using 365 collaborative tools is so great that it’s worth the risk of losing some work here and there. But it would be better if that risk were eliminated.Show less@ColoLawyer
Always a problem
I have been paying a yearly subscription fee for 365 and not one year has gone by without a problem. If it weren’t for one small factor I’d ditch Microsoft altogether. They are a pack of worthless supporter!01seeker10
Great for Microsoft Apps, not great for IOS
I have really enjoyed how office keeps slides in the proper format compared to other apps I use for school to try and keep notes. The hyperlinks and the videos that are incorporated into the slides make them very easy and give it a definite leg up in downloading powerpoints versus the Notability app. However, Notability’s note taking and customization is far superior, which I 100% suspect is due to my using of an iPad and not a Microsoft device. The writing and note taking on Office is pretty limited and generic, which is why I’ll use Office for the powerpoints and other PDFs but that’s basically it.Show lessK@wika
