Microsoft Office Mobile

Microsoft Office Mobile is an official bundle of the essential office apps by Microsoft. It provides quick centralized access to Word, Excell, and PowerPoint. It’s designed for viewing documents with the original formatting and editing them on the go offline. You can download Microsoft Office Mobile for Android OS devices on Google Play. 

Design – 4.5/5

Microsoft Office Mobile latest version has a simple menu that is divided into 3 sections for the recently viewed documents, file system, and the editor. The recent files are displayed by dates. The menu strongly lacks adjustable filters to sort content not only by date but also by type, size, and alphabet. 

Usability – 4.5/5

If you have a low-end Android device, the Microsoft Office Mobile app is going to be your lifeboat. It sets your free from switching between several apps for different office purposes and lightens the burden of the RAM module. For this Microsoft Office Mobile review, we compared the performance of WPS Office, Polaris Office, and similar Google apps. The most convenient viewer was Polaris Office because it showed faster loading time of DOCX and PDF. When it comes to editing, Microsoft Office Mobile wins due to the option to switch between DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX within the app. Google apps can brag its wider range of tools, online backupping, and support of online team collaboration. All these features are present in later versions of Microsoft Office apps that are sold separately. 

Features – 5/5

With Microsoft Office Mobile APK, you can view and edit documents in the most commonly used formats, including DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, PDF, RTF, and TXT. Of course, the toolbox is not as huge as in the desktop version, but it allows you to make basic operations. You can do the basic formatting, change fonts, colors, inserts or delete images, create simple tables, use formulas, select and change styles of presentations, and export documents to messengers and cloud drives. 

In-app Purchases – 5/5

Microsoft Office Mobile free app bundle is available for smartphones and tablets running Android 4.4 and prior versions. If you have a newer device, you can use the updated Microsoft Office 365 and purchase a subscription for those services that you need the most. The version described in this review is currently available only for Android, while the latest one works for iOS as well. 

The Bottom Line

Microsoft Office Mobile is a perfect viewing and editing office tool for slow devices. It lets you be much more mobile and do basic office work on the go. It’s also handy if you must finish some work on your way to work. Essential editing tools and export features will help in any situation.
