I pay way too much for this shoddy service. ### 1/5 — Grrrr *2026-08-12, version 2.112.4* It’s so annoying ### 1/5 — Partially functional *2026-08-12, version 2.112.4* This app really works if it is used in tandem with a computer. It is almost impossible to edit/format the database on the phone, all of those need to be done from a computer. The app is mainly useful to enter data on the go. There is an inherent problem with the date format (on the phone and computer), whereby the date by default changes to the US format. One must go to >File >Option and change the region to the UK from the computer each time. Next time it opens, it will be back to the US format. This has been an ongoing issue for the past several years, nothing new. It has been reported to Microsoft, but they are ignoring the issue. ### 1/5 — Such bad app on iPhone *2026-08-11, version 2.112.4* Doesn’t work most of the time ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2026-08-11, version 2.112.4* Most recent update creates inability to use network connections to access files on cloud storage. ### 5/5 — Excel *2026-08-11, version 2.112.4* This app lets me do anyting ### 5/5 — Great App for all types of work *2026-08-10, version 2.112.4* You can use this app in so many different ways not just numbers give it a try. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sign inn *2026-08-19, version 2.113* It keeps making me sign in to Microsoft why ### 1/5 — Can’t change Margins on iPad?! …Still? In 2026?! *2026-08-18, version 2.113* Excel has been on the Ipad for well over a decade. I get it’s not meant as a full hearty laptop, but I still feel they should be doing their best to improve the costumer experience and usefulness of Excel and Word over fixing nuances like icons on the menu bar. I have the 12.9 Pro because it’s my main computer, easier for me to carry, and with an external keyboard, it’s more expensive than a laptop. Limiting margins is one of the greatest frustrations because excel is column and row based application so the print limit of 1” on all four sides is ridiculous and incredibly frustrating. There’s also freezing and curser issues iPad. I’ll make an error and often can’t place my curser in the exact spot to fix it so I have to retype that cell / formula. This curser issue happens in Word sometimes too. The iPad is very popular, so I wish more effort could be given to smoothing out the business operations a little because it’s too much to have to try to go back and forth between devices. I switched to the iPad because I no longer deal in more complex spreadsheets, but I still want the basics…like a bigger printable workspace. Sorry, I am just feeling frustrated by this today. ### 1/5 — Many features missing *2026-08-17, version 2.113* I used to be able to use this product for free but now the free version is basically a viewer. Since I am paying a monthly fee I thought there would at least be more features available (like conditional formatting) but there is not. Update: It is so expensive I am looking elsewhere. Come one, people!!! ### 1/5 — 365 nightmare *2026-08-17, version 2.112.4* 365 is a massive step back from simple having office loaded on my own device ### 1/5 — Isn’t working for me *2026-08-16, version 2.112.4* There must be a glitch that prevents the keyboard from coming up because I can’t modify any of the tables that I use. I can’t do anything on the excel app because the keyboard doesn’t appear! ### 1/5 — Very stupid *2026-08-14, version 2.112.4* Always asking you to sign in takes longer time to load and limited usage. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-14, version 2.112.4* BRU it not need no review it’s just bad. School ph ### 1/5 — Feature parity *2026-08-13, version 2.112.4* Please make the iOS apps feature parity with the desktop apps. ### 1/5 — Chill *2026-08-13, version 2.112.4* I barely opened the app and now yall want a review ### 1/5 — Deletes work *2026-08-12, version 2.112.4* Time and again I will have a sheet open with work filled out, only for it to be deleted on its own, despite the auto-save being on. Doesn’t help that forms won’t appear in search and you’ll have to scroll for it, if it was even saved ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — iPhone/Android in app panel *2026-08-22* Kindly make user panels as per the previous version, which was more friendly to use in mobile apps for data visualisation and using the data, the latest upgrade has moved the option inside three dots, kindly make it as per the previous version, which was visible on the screen itself ### 5/5 — Evaluation *2026-08-17, version 2.113* Convenient to use ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-17, version 2.113* Very good ### 5/5 — Miicrosft Excel *2026-08-16, version 2.112.4* Microsoft Excel ### 5/5 — good *2026-08-16, version 2.112.4* really good ### 5/5 — First Impressions l *2026-08-16, version 2.112.4* Saved my file as needed, nailed it. ### 5/5 — Microsoft Excel *2026-08-14, version 2.112.4* I love love this app ### 5/5 — Can’t do without it *2026-08-13, version 2.112.4* Excel is one of a suite of Software programs that as of the 2020s is a must have for many many people. There are alternatives and if not priced correctly, it will lose market share and eventually be exited My only grumble would be the most recent iterations have removed choices and introduced automation of many manufacturers which are not necessarily a Bonus ### 5/5 — Organize be spreadsheet *2026-08-11, version 2.112.4* I have a horrible compulsion. When I purchase something I don’t buy just one item. Case in point: my AccuQuilt die collection, somewhere between 500 - 600 dies. My cd collection is somewhere between 250 - 300 music cd’s My presser foot collection for my embroidery / quilting machine. My embroidery hoop collection is more than I need. My material My sewing machine needles, My cook books My quilting magazines …..and so on….. ### 5/5 — Saludos *2026-08-11, version 2.112.4* Me encanta Excel, facilita mucho cualquier trabajo. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
