Just fine
I use it for work at two jobs and it works just fine. I’m able to retrieve from both remotely.
Desperately needed for iPhone
I like many people use Outlook for personal mail but my employer forbids using Outlook for personal email. This app solves the issue on the iPad but unfortunately it’s difficult to put an iPad in your pocket and walk around with it for mission critical notification push email and as ones main phone.
So far I’ve been accused of negligence and threatened with termination multiple times for not answering timely emails. Using OWA on a browser does not send notification of incoming emails and pending totals requiring keeping the app open and checking the app constantly all day and night so as not to miss an incoming email.
I’ve been told I cannot use “safe” mail apps for enterprise email based in India and Russia (I will not mention the app names).
Don’t see why this option is no longer available for the iPhone. I literally may have stop getting personal email on my phone, buy a second phone just for work or quit my job. Having this app on the iPhone again would solve this issue for me and the hundreds of complaints I’ve seen on the internet about not being able to use two separate copies of Outlook on phones!

I need this app for work, but its unusable as is.
I need this app for work but literally every time I open an attachment, the app crashes. My current solution is to just forward all e-mails with attachments to an e-mail I have access to, and deal with the attachments there. As you can imagine, this hampers work flow and makes things rather inefficient.
Edit: I added a star. My initial issue seems to have been fixed. Opening attachments no longer crashes the app. However, I still have an issue uploading my own attachments. The only options I have are to upload a new picture, pictures from library, or a signature. I need to be able to attach files from the Files app in order to use this properly.

OWA is not loading my Exchange account
OWA is refusing to load my account telling me to contact my account administrator. Microsoft for small business owners who use Exchange Online, you need to get rid of that stupid statement, it is akin to when windows would flash a message saying you performed an illegal operation when all you were doing was trying to save a file. Microsoft needs to stop thinking like software engineers and think like end users.
Having said that, I do not like using the iOS Mail app on my iPad, I prefer to use OWA. Clearly, if I can access my Exchange account through iOS Mail nothing is wrong with it and something is wrong with OWA. Please fix the app and make it recognize my credentials.

App frozen after ios update
This app has worked well for a few years, but since updating my iPad system 3 days ago it gets frozen on the “passcode required” page. Can't click on the link to continue. Deleting and reinstalling app doesn't help. Hoping this can be fixed asap.
Can’t get to passcode entry
The app worked fine this morning, but it was time to change my network password (every 90 days, of course). On the iPhone version of this app, I was able to update my password; but on the iPad version, it insisted that I reset the app. I logged in and it wants me to set up a passcode, but the “Continue” link doesn’t work.

Endless update
Since late 2017, does not work at all on multiple devices. Claims to be downloading app update, which never completes. In the meantime, email messages cannot be viewed, and calendar events are not visible. Even if Outlook is the new app, the OWA was the only way to access shared calendars! There is a lot of feedback in the app built-in system to this effect, but it does not look like anyone from MS is paying attention.

Shared calendars not working in OWA for iPad
Shared calendars work in the version for the iPhone, but not the version for the iPad. They don’t make particularly good use of the iPad form factor, and still require you to go to the three-button “home page” to switch between viewing the calendar, the mail, or contacts. I wish I could install OWA for iPhone instead of this junk.

Unsatisfied
When you reply to a message you cant scroll down to see the message anymore.
Directory is not available off line to add names. How do you get address book to work off line?
Freezes
Bottom function screen/blue screen. Sometimes it fills 1/2the window. How do you get it to go back?
Messages with attachments that are downloaded while online do not show off line.

MUCH better than Outlook for iOS!! Still MS Best Product
Update: OWA is STILL perhaps the best product Microsoft has created for iOS- maybe even for all platforms. Should be a company example of "how it is done"!
OWA is the only calendar product that has full calendar functioning for Exchange networks (like the Windows version) so users can actually see the calendars of colleagues and schedule appointments. This is the best calendar app for iOS and Mac platforms. If you need to schedule appointments and do not use Windows, this the best app to get by far.
Right now, Outlook for iOS is very buggy after iOS 10 update and totally useless as calendars cannot be shared by Exchange network (like OWA). Outlook is regressing (and no response from MS tech "support"- not really support at all). Stick with OWA- BY FAR, the best way to use Outlook on an iOS device or a Mac. Even better than when we must use Windows.
Not a huge fan of most Microsoft products (they usually seem 75% developed when released, full of bugs and absolutely no tech support available), but MS did a great job with OWA. Our business depends on it and OWA delivers.

Rough Interface
Using on iPad Pro. Wanted separate email & calendar app for work emails on exchange. OWA is functional, but the interface is clunky and unrefined. It is easier to use the browser to access than to use this app. Microsoft would be better to have the functionality of OWA combined with the UI of Outlook. Apple Mail and Calendar are better on the iPad than these two apps.

Tons of bugs
Often can't update itself to retrieve new emails. Sometimes good emails get marked as spam and quarantined, but there is a bug that prevents the app from releasing them. A rare few times I have sent an email with the app, only to check on my laptop that the emails weren't actually sent. The most annoying is when I open an email to search for a number or something, then switch to Safari to type the number in, then try to switch back to Outlook to verify the number and the app restarts and I have to search for the email again. Real fun with flight reservations. Typical Microsoft product that works ok most of the time but has tons of little inconveniences like that.

Functional but frustrating
Overall, the tool is functional. You can get the job done. However, the UI and especially workflow or transitions are cumbersome, and some things counter intuitive.
Should be easier to use, and have better button/menu placement. Made to be minimalist with little icons, but not my favorite.

OK, but not great
Sometimes, when you use the menu icons on the bottom, it creates a large blue bar that pushes up the rest of the screen about 150 pixels. This keeps you from being able to access the top of the menu. You have to close OWA by double-clicking the home button, then swiping OWA off screen. When you re-open, it is OK again.
Also, I wish that it had tasks integrated. It is irritating to have to manage tasks elsewhere.

Needs update.
Lots of glitches and crash prone under iOS 10 and really showing neglected. Can't see text while typing in note section. Becomes unresponsive during reply. Agenda view only reports default calendar and there is no way to make a shared calendar the default. Does not recognize addresses and phone numbers as actionable. Would like to customize slide gestures. App could use a makeover.

Very disappointing
Microsoft has once again released an application that is not ready for prime time. It is very glitchy, inconsistent, and poorly integrated. As one example, the Outlook app no longer lets you update people, directing you to OWA. However, OWA doesn't always let you update the person. It is also very slow to refresh, and on the schedule screen, a secondary drop down blocks the save icon so you cannot save the changes. I have to run both Outlook and OWA on my ipad to be able to do my work. Please settle on one app, and develop it properly.

Nice except chokes on opening some URLs
Works nice and integrates well with OWA. Biggest problem I have found is that it seems to choke on some URLs, particularly those that are long, e.g. to an IronPort's list of impounded messages or a validation of a subscription to a WordPress site.
It continues to choke on complex URL's that have redirection, e.g. Nuzzle.
It also handles the whole permission to display in line URLs badly. Many times when checking to always allow displaying the URLs it invokes the web browser to go off to a site and even in these cases it does not remember that the link has already been clicked previously even though that is what it promises.

It's pretty useless for work
I absolutely HATE that it not only doesn't save your drafts if you click off the email or close it, but there's also no warning message asking you if you want to save or discard the draft. It's just gone. You also can't attach documents, only photos. Not helpful! Whether you have to use it for work or school, the ability to attach documents is critical! It's also missing most of the other mail options that you're used to with Outlook.

Missing key features
This app lets me read my mail. However, I haven't figured out how to archive read mail, which is a huge negative. Mail that I know I will need to refer to in the future needs to sit in my inbox, meaning my inbox is very cluttered. Additionally, I cannot figure out how to get a little number next to the app's icon to alert me when I have mail. If those things were added, this app would be much more functional for me.

Nice Set Up by Very Disappointed by Performance
I really like the layout of the OWA vs the regular Outlook app. My favorite feature is that the email lists that I've created in Office 365 Outlook are just as accessible through the app as on a PC which is not the case with the Outlook app. Works nicely with OneDrive too. BUT the notification sounds do not work. This is a very needed feature. The app often just closes too. And now if I try to put a link in an email, it is not a true link that can be clicked. This needs fixed!
