Ratings and Reviews
It’s Word, man.
Great app. Business and academic apps like this are sometimes harder to navigate on iPads or smart devices because you can’t see all the icons like you would on a laptop screen, and the layout is a little different, but it still does mostly everything you’d need for work or school. There are certain things that you can’t do unless you pay and upgrade to premium, like getting unlimited text colors, but that’s pretty much what you get with every app these days. The app still lets you be cheap and get away with making word documents without premium if you don’t want all the bells and whistles included, and it’s still functional, so I don’t personally mind not having premium. You can get by without it if you don’t want to spend the extra money-shoutout to all the broke college students out there and all the kids whose parents won’t let them upgrade- but if you’re willing/have the means to pay, hats off to ya. All in all, it serves its purpose and does what it’s supposed to, it’s not glitchy, and it’s pretty easy to use. I like it. So, that’s my two cents in the subject. Try it out, see what you think, and you can always delete it I guess. :)
Some ISSUES!!
In the fall, while traveling, despite saving to the cloud, and adding to it when I had WiFi access, a document disappeared! Initially, the first two of 3 pages were gone, and a day later, so was the third and any trace of it. No way that I could figure out to get any help from Microsoft.
Recently, I have had MAJOR issues with Word on both my iPad and MacBook Air, about 25 pages of a long document mostly disappearing, again, despite auto saving to OneDrive. Bizarrely, the handful of footnotes and page numbers remained, and, very fortunately, I could still read them on the version on my iPad, though when I experimented and printed a few of these pages, again it was just footnotes and page numbers. The only workaround that I have figured out is to retype the missing pages (more than 20k words) on the laptop while looking at it on my iPad. A LOT of what should be unnecessary work to create a new document to which I will later copy and paste the beginning of the document that is still there, or at least was the last time I checked. (Microsoft tech support unusable and not worth the effort.)
Meanwhile, of course, I have been subscribing for over three years through the App Store, so have paid more than $250, which should have more than covered the cost long ago. Between Apple and Microsoft, I feel lucky the app generally works reasonably well.
Review of Microsoft word
Well I use Microsoft word at work, the mobile version is vastly inferior. If it were free, I probably couldn’t complain. But, if you want to get the capability of redlining documents and other important work-related actions, you have to purchase the subscription. This is where the trouble begins. Microsoft support is terrible. Several times a year the program won’t work and tells me I need a subscription. I’ve spent hours on the phone with Microsoft since I first purchased this program. There’s some sort of company disconnect between their accounting department and mobile services. This needs to be fixed.
Regarding the applications performance, at best it’s OK. It tends to be slow, saving a document while you were working on it is not as straightforward as it should be, and if you want to dictate, you better proofread twice. Many of the desired editing features are not available in this mobile application. Formatting is next to impossible and many many other features are not available. While I don’t think you can expect 100% duplication, iPad cost more than most PCs, have ample memory, and should be capable of handling all of the commands necessary to do a competent job of preparing a word document. And you should not have to have an external keyboard with your iPad to perform the tasks. Bottom line, The program is livable, but not particularly likable.
