This is a bad app

My assment is on this app and it makes me mad so I don’t like it

Need subscription on ipad mini

The ipad mini (A19) has an 8.3 inch screen, so please fix the bug requiring a subscription. Who would sign up for a subscription to an app that is broken more times than it is working?

No Paste Special!

Will not allow Paste Special on ipad Almost impossible to build anything but basic spreadsheet without inordinate length of time typing out formulas repeatedly.

Amazing Organizer

I enjoy to organize things using the Excel spreadsheet

Irritant

Autosave should never turn on automatically. Some changes aren’t meant to be saved.

No Duo Support Yet

2026-10-26 Excel update was pushed out but no support for Duo yet. Apple and Claude will help you get it done. Otherwise fine app, just hard to navigate on phone screens.

Why can’t I write any text.

Impossible for me to write in the text boxes and impossible to find out how. It’s useless

Simply the Best

Awesome!

So far so good

For many years it has offered all options for different type of charts working all the time. It is very easy to use and extremely helpful. Keep up the good work!

Ability to save spreadsheets disappeared

Why do MS do this ???? For years press the 3 dots upper right to access drop down that lets me save now i get a help menu that is of no help whatsoever

Muy bueno. Aunque aveces se buguea

Bastante bueno

Desk top crashing

I am continuously having difficulties with Excel crashing out on my laptop. It freezes up and loses everything it’s done.

Duo support

Not updated for the Duo, are you kidding me.

Organizing finances

When I learned how to set up columns like a checking account, logging finances / projected finances it helped me to see what totals I could actually spend and see how much I would have left ahead of time and then could adjust the total amount I could pay on certain bills if I wanted to increase payment amount and still have enough for a buffer zone for the month and to see how much I would have left to transfer to the following month and be able to set that up to automatically go to the following sheet totals from one sheet to another

Doesn’t work on Duo

Doesn’t understand the duo screen ratio and doesn’t work

Makes Everything Easier

The challenge for someone my age is keeping up with changes that happen so quickly. Excel has done a GREAT JOB OF HELPING THIS 82 YEAR OLD MAN KEEP UP!

Sure wish it would save my work

I put in the work and save and … Nothing. I mean absolutely nothing saved. Zero kb.

Ok but still issues on iPhone

Sync issues and not able to select favourites on spreadsheets for business account

How Bad Excel Is and How To Improve

It’s so hard to manoeuvre and half of the time I can’t even type. It’s so bad. And we always have to use it in class and it so annoying. I’m not saying it that bad but when I try to type on iPad it doesn’t work. So many random buttons are useless why not make it easier to type or something

great app

Very clear and formatted
