“The idea behind the Office app is to give our users a single place from which they can access all their relevant content,” Office product manager Nithya Sampathkumar told VentureBeat. Microsoft has found that most users and businesses want to use the Office app as a hub or starting point for all their document work.
When the company launched the new Office mobile app as a public preview in November, “tens of thousands of people” rushed to try it. Microsoft has over 200 million monthly active Office 365 business users and over 37 million Office 365 consumer subscribers. You can use Office for free, and if you sign in with a Microsoft Account or connect a third-party storage service you can access and store documents in the cloud. You can download the app now for Android phones and tablets (limited support) from Google Play and for iOS from Apple’s App Store (iPhone-only, iPad support is coming later). The company today also announced new features coming to the app this spring: Word Dictation, Excel Cards View, and Outline to PowerPoint. The unified app means you no longer need to download, install, and switch between the individual Word, Excel, and PowerPoint apps.
Microsoft today launched Office for Android and iOS in general availability. Join gaming leaders online at GamesBeat Summit Next this upcoming November 9-10.
