Microsoft has unleashed updated apps to bring a new experience to iPhones and iPads, as well as for Android tablets.
With more than 40 million downloads of Office for iPad, Microsoft is more certain than ever that their direction for "mobility first" is definitely welcomed.
Gathering feedback from consumers, they've now updated Word, Excel and Powerpoint applications as part of their updated Office for iPad app.
What's more, the new Office for iPad has now fully unlocked and you don't require an Office 365 subscription to edit and create content.
When it was first launched in March, you could only view and present your respective documents for free.
Building on the same experiences offered by the updated Office for iPad, Microsoft has launched Office for iPhone, bringing with it optimized apps for Word, Excel and Powerpoint for your iPhone.
Available with immediate effect, it replaces Office Mobile that was launched in March. And like the updated Office for iPad, you won't require an Office 365 subscription to view, create or edit content.
For both Office for iPad and Office for iPhone, the apps require your device to run iOS version 7.0 or newer.
They are available in 29 languages and target 136 countries.
Freshly minted this time round is Office for Android tablet Preview.
This will bring Office productivity apps to Android tablets for the first time and is currently in preview phase.
Interested customers can sign up for the Preview today, but general availability for all can only be expected sometime early in 2015.
Again, the goal is to deliver the Office experience on to the smaller screens without requiring an Office 365 subscription.
