Microsoft released Office Mobile in the Apple Store for free to all Office 365 users on June 14, 2013. Office Mobile has a lot of stipulations and only provides the basic document editing capabilities. Integrating Office Mobile with SkyDrive and Office 365 is a smooth process.
The first stipulation is Office Mobile is designed for iPhone. The app is not optimized for iPad use; older iPad(s) receive errors. The second stipulation is Office Mobile requires an Office 365 subscription. A large percent of businesses have not switched to Office 365 which excludes potiential Office Mobile users.
For Office 365 subscribers, Office Mobile is a free app that provides the ability to view, edit and save Office documents. All users that are not Office 365 subscribers can continue to use Office-compatible mobile apps that provide the same functionality.
Office Mobile has a similar interface to Windows phone. After installing Office Mobile, users can view, edit and save Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents. Users may be surprised with the limited editing abilities. SkyDrive, SkyDrive Pro and SharePoint are ways to access documents. ”Recent Documents” tracks the most recent documents that you viewed or changed and makes them easily accessible.
