Microsoft Word Customer Service

I have been paying for the different apps after getting this 365 Personal that was supposed to include them all, plus 1 TB of OneDrive. I did that because when I downloaded the OneDrive and Word apps my iPhone prompt me to pay for separate subscriptions. So I thought it was because they were meant to. After months, or probably more than a year I’ve been paying for them and finally realized I was not supposed to do so. The descriptions don’t explain it and the iPhone prompt you to pay. I got just one month worth of refund, but as I try to get my personal subscription back I’ve been having all kinds of issues. I ended up paying for a Basic subscription so I don’t lose all the data from OneDrive while this issue is resolved. So now, I paid for this Office Personal $6.99 and is not working and nowone can help me. I talked to Microsoft and they said they can’t help with subscriptions bought at Apple. In Apple they told to talk to Microsoft. It is infuriating!! I’ve lost so much time trying to solve this. I was supposed to get help from a Support Department this morning and they sent me an email saying they couldn’t reach me. I didn’t even get a text!!! And they want me to reschedule the call again!!! Don’t buy ANITHING from Microsoft in the Apple App Store if you want support from someone in case of an issue.

I love Word! I use all Microsoft Office apps on both my computer and phone instead of Google because the features and ease of use are infinitely better than Google Docs and Slides. Once, I wrote an essay over 80 pages for my English class, and during one weekend, I wrote over 30 pages in one day. Unfortunately, my computer was hacked and crashed, making me think all of my work was erased since it wasn't saved (I didn't have autosave on because I hadn't set up OneDrive at this point). Fortunately, when my computer finally turned back on, the file was there, perfectly fine, thanks to Recovery Mode (tysm for this addition Microsoft, it's brilliant!). Now, I use Word on all my devices, and the mobile version has been amazingly helpful for me. The only reason I didn't put five stars is because the mobile view feature has been SUPER buggy. This is how I write most comfortably on mobile, but whenever I am using it and I touch the screen, it flings me to a completely different page! It's been so bad that I just can't use mobile view, despite it being so helpful. (This isn't my because of phone's age nor its functionality since it still does this on my brand new phone). There are a few other things that I have trouble with, such as the lack of settings and editing I can access while on mobile, but I understand that adding everything that's on the computer app would be difficult to stuff into a tiny mobile app. Overall, the pros heavily outweigh the the cons because this is a MUST-USE, ALMOST PERFECT, FEATURE-FILLED writing app!!

I really enjoyed the Microsoft Office 365 word app for three reasons. The first reason is the editing tools that the app has to help one edited one’s word document. When writing a document it can be very hard to edit one’s own paper but when an editing tools is added it make the writing process more efficient and readable. The editing tools also give assistance that is far cheaper to requesting someone else to edited your document. The second reason Microsoft developers keep improving this app without increasing bugs that could affect one’s productivity and computer. When bug are not caught before launching the app it could cost up to hundred to get your computer or any electronic device that one may be using to get task done. I am excited about the future of this application that I can not wait until the next version of this application is available. The third reason why I like this application is the reliability of the application to deliver what it supposed to deliver. Quality products and accurate products save time and money. I feel that this product saves time and money it one understands all the functionality of each tab that this application has for one to write quality and accurate documents and flyers . I do wish that this application in the mobile application had be references tabs like the desktop and more college tabs such more templates that college students and business professionals are using virtually. For, example zoom component that will allow participants on their mobile phone and desktop to work together. Add more business features added component to calculator and more way to scan document to this application and edit the documents. For the most part this is a great application.

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. :)

I would like to know when Microsoft Word, excel, et cetera have to be purchased when you buy a computer every computer I have ever had has had windows and Microsoft Word et cetera so I purchased Microsoft 365 put it on my phone paid for it monthly but never could open Word! Or anything else regarding this app so what was I paying for I got a refund not a full one but need word on my laptop and phone I tried to sync this from my phone to my new laptop of course it didn’t work you have to pay pay pay! It is absolutely ridiculous you have to pay to breathe almost, I had a chrome book that did everything but stand on its head our youngest son gave it to me of course it was on it, when I tried to charge the laptop after two years something happened I could put a rubber band around it at first and it would charge after that it quit took it to get it fixed and they said it would be more than a brand-new one said forget it my brother was with me he bought me a new laptop very good price the keys don’t light up it doesn’t fold et cetera! Of course I paid for three years insurance but I rarely use it because it does not have on it what I want!

Microsoft Word has been, and still is, THE definitive word processor, especially for Windows operating systems. :-) I’ve used to do all sorts of crazy stuff on the app, and it actually helped me to learn proper spelling and grammar early on (and y’all complain that somehow Microsoft themselves is apparently “watching” you for some “insane” reason nowadays). In fact, some of my best childhood memories actually came from this application alone! Several documents, including one for a camp site and the revenge of a main female villain in a Mario spin-off, actually made their first appearances here, for the life of today. There’s really no doubt that I’ve continued to enjoy writing all sorts of cool stuff on the app, even going into the rise of the corporation’s Premium subscription and the time as a teen-ager where I felt like it was just wrong. “I” was wrong myself. Now, as a fully-fledged adult I’ve learned to accept even change and the future, and it’s allowed me to absolutely adore the app once again. Thank you, Microsoft, for absolutely everything. Your hard work and dedication is what made my life really pop!! =—D

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Inspirational and Educational Tool for Life’s Journey! I have been using this Word document app for years, and it has truly become an essential part of my life’s journey. More than just a writing platform, it is a powerful educational tool that nurtures creativity, encourages self-expression, and helps users uncover their true passions. It’s incredible to look back at the documents I’ve created and see not just the evolution of my writing, but also the growth in my thoughts and perspectives. This app has been like a biographical archive, chronicling my personal and professional development over time. The user-friendly interface, combined with robust features and seamless cloud integration, makes it perfect for writers of all ages. I highly recommend this app to everyone—whether you’re documenting your personal story or helping your children embark on their own creative and educational journeys. It’s a fantastic platform for inspiring creativity and supporting learning in every stage of life. Thank you to the developers for making such a transformative and versatile tool!

As an aspiring author, I have been using this for a few years. Before Word, I used Apple Pages, and though it worked while I was a child, I needed to move to a better software program, and this was it. I swap between this and Reedsy, depending on what book I’m working on. While Reedsy has it’s features that Word has yet to reach (a more creative layout, more tips and tricks, and a more encouraging space), Word is formal and excellent in other ways. Its word count and read-aloud features are super helpful, and I love that I can write offline. It’s nice that it’s compatible with most file inputs, as it is very popular. I highly recommend it. It is very basic, and although it is designed to be professional, sometimes I do wish there was an option to make the background fun (other than Pride stuff) like…pale pink, sage green, blue—something a little more exciting to switch it up every once and a while. Anyway, overall, a nice app, and well created. Just wish there was a little more creativity.

Formerly a very avid user of word, when I had growing need that should be provided by the program, it was my go to. First issue was not being able to have the app acknowledge I had in fact paid for it. For quite some time, I just resorted to using other programs even though they were charging me money. Main issues I’ve had are recently. I was surprised to find out that many features that are offered on the desktop version are not accessible to me as I use my iPad for now. Only very recently did I find that once I’ve saved the document I can no longer edit words i’ve typed or anything else I add to any document like font size font, used color or highlight, etc. especially after seeing a document I’ve already been working on and then no longer being able to adjust or edit in that way when I’ve never had a problem with doing so after saving has been a headache. Now after creating documents, it is no longer letting me save them without any explanation. Nothing is different. I just can’t save anything I’ve made. I blame myself for when I accidentally pushed the draft, struggling with us the first time, but now the second time I’ve completely redone the whole entire document. I can’t even save it still. I’ve looked it up. I’ve tried to see if there are any tips that could help me understand what the heck is happening and I’ve had no luck. One problem, fine two problems probably fine; probably me. Only when I have done nothing different when using an interacting with the program, having more than one problem though I’ve changed nothing. This thing is borderline useless since I can’t save and already couldn’t edit once I have saved so I don’t know, but this is holding me up significantly. I hope I’m the only person who has problems like this because I’ve got work to do that. I should’ve been able to complete already.

My name is Madysan D. Clark an di want to tell you some reasons why word isn't the best nor bette than google docs. I love word, but the only thing i don't like about it is this: In google docs it corrects all of your incorrect spelling, but it dosen't do that here on word. On word if you have a typo it will eaither not automatically correct it or when it has that little red squiggle line nderneath the word and then you click on it it won't even give you options on what the word you were probably trying to spell. I know that word can't be exactly like google docs, but that dosn't mean that it can't be better. I think google docs and word are the same and i'm sure that you don't want to be the same. My advice to you, is to fix this problem and then look for ways to make word even better so that you can't even compeat with google docs. I love word, but if you don't fix this then i'm gonna stop using it and not only that but i'll use google docs instead. I know you don't want people not using your products, hey, i dont wnat it eaither! So, fix this please, fix this.

I’ve been using Microsoft Office for 23 years. I love all the editing options that no one else offers. Other apps skip on quality and versatility in exchange for ease of use. Many letters and projects just Don’t fit in their predefined boxes. However now that I’m retired (but very busy) the endless “renting” of everything I need to conduct my personal business is just not sustainable financially. Especially since I do not use the apps anywhere near as often as before but my projects and personal business are more important now than ever. Please don’t be like Adobe & charge so much that it’s more than my monthly budget for food and now they have custody of a lifetime of my personal business docs as you have to pay to move or delete them. This has me outraged. I never agreed to hand over custody of all my private docs. This is taking advantage and unacceptable. Deleting your account or transferring them to your own computer should be free. Please don’t hold my stuff hostage for a small fortune equivalent to my monthly food budget and offer a lifetime subscription option. Please!

So I normally use the app for my schoolwork on my iPad and ever since it was updating it has been acting really strange. Every time I try to edit something it deletes a whole sentence and it won’t let me go back to whatever I have from the start so sometimes I have to retype this sentence out in order for me to get what I need. It still has the same credentials from what it had over the past couple years but it is still acting really strange and I don’t understand why don’t give me wrong with the app is good, but it’s not the same as what it used to be back then. I feel like if they were able to fix that bug that’s in the app then maybe I will give it a higher rating than what it is now I’m literally tired of getting somewhat of a failing grade due to my stuff getting deleted and be forgetting what I typed, I wish that sometimes when it comes to these new updates, they will actually test it out on themselves first and then try to release the update before it happens.

I’ve been using Word for iPad, iPhone, and my Dell laptop for a couple of months and experienced a very smooth transition from one device to another. One problem I had was that fancy fonts I was using on my PC didn’t carry over to my iPad (I’ve got to download those fonts I think; I haven’t done that yet). For most of my typing, I prefer Courier and simple fonts anyway, so it’s not a problem. A few times there were too many differences between devices (I probably left my file open on a different device) and the app asked me which version of the document to use; it worked just like Word’s manuscript comparison function where it highlights the differences between the two files (which is much better than Scrivener—I’ve lost several version of my manuscripts in Scrivener when it couldn’t resolve differences between a file on my laptop and on another device). This app doesn’t have all the bells and whistles that my Word for PC offers, but it has enough. I’m happy with it.

Verdict: if you want to/need to use Office across your devices, get this. If not, use Pages or Google Docs. They will both allow you to open & edit Word docs & Save docs as Word. Though it’s really handy to have Office products on my phone so I can edit files without having to go to my laptop, I’m not keen on the latest version of Word for iOS. It’s just clunkier to use. It took me quite a bit of poking around just to find the editing control menus. And when I copy & paste text into a new document, it only pastes the text, not any original formatting. I don’t see any paste options such as there are in Word for windows. Example: I have an email with text formatted as a table. Previously, if I copied & pasted into a new doc, it pasted as a table. Now, it just pastes the text with generic font & no formatting except paragraph breaks. I completely lose the table. It seems this app has gotten more bare-bones rather than feature-full. It’s good enough, but if I have an Office subscription, I expect a little more.

Everyone in the world knows Microsoft word, it’s been around since as long as I can remember using a computer in grade school, it has come a long way, well I learned more of what it offers anyways, when I think internet, computers, phones, typing anything, my lists, organizing documents, creating, just about anything I would need done I can link it to Microsoft being able to make it happen. Word is a great app because it offers all the different apps organized into one, now I don’t like having extra apps on my phone an maybe I just haven't learned how to do this but even though I use word it seems when I need those apps I still have to have them come up so in a way it’s great to organize them but I wish I could fully access everything on those apps threw word but that’s not what it’s made for so this is a useless complaint keep up the amazing work I expect to see you around when my grandchildren’s children are using devices.

I really enjoyed using Word on my iPad with an Apple Pencil. My biggest frustration is when I put a file onto the iCloud and then work on my iPad, and then later I go back to my Mac open the same file and do some keyboard work. This is where the problem is. There is some bug where the file changes that happen on the iPad aren’t being saved to iCloud because i don’t see them when I open the same file in Word on my Mac. I can still go back to my iPad and see the changes, and I can see the file has changed because the time stamp for the iCloud file is different on my iPad than what’s on iCloud on my Mac. So this leads me to believe that iPad Word hasn’t close the file properly. As a workaround, I have to send a copy of the file in some manny, so I can open it on a Mac. Let’s fix so we can be less inconvenient please. Oh, another problem is that the on-screen keyboard doesn’t always appear like it should.

After using Word for many years, I am so frustrated with the issues I am having. I have Word files that are older files in Dropbox when I open them in Word, it tells me to save an upgraded copy. This is where the mess begins. I attempt to save a copy. When I do, just below the tool bar a banner shows up saying I have used characters in the file name that are not allowed. None of those characters are used in the file name! This happens over and over. Of course if I save to “One Drive” their version of Dropbox there is no issue. I think it is their way of making me use One Drive. I have thousands of files share with other users on Dropbox. UGH! Daily frustration! I am looking for another word processor that actually is compatible with iPad and Dropbox. I contacted support and they suggested deleting the Word app and Dropbox and reinstall. I did this and it worked for two days. Then starts all over again!

Word. In a single word to describe it, terrible. Or this word, frustrating, or this word aggravating, or another word, crashes, how about freezes. I could go on and on about it, but my main complaint is it try’s to be to helpful and that’s where it gets itself into trouble. Originally if you had a mid-spelled word it would hi light it and offer suggestions. Now when it’s highlighted it takes you to other prompts before bringing you to where you wanted to be in the first place. Next it randomly capitalizes words in the middle of sentences and occasionally will do it when it begins the next line. I hate if I’ve written a 300 page manuscript, gone back to say page 164 to change something, saving it to that page, close it, when I reopen it later I’m back at page one. It may not seem like much, but when you’re writing 5 hours plus at a time, it becomes maddening. The worst insult? I pay for this misery!

Just started enjoying the convenience of this app. Will find out more of its uses as I go along. Thanks!

I can’t believe they are just giving this away. It’s so good. Templates are amazing. Colleagues say ‘Do you want to type notes on my computer?’ I say ‘You have no idea how good this Word app is Guy!’ Way to Go Microsoft. I love the app ❤️❤️❤️

I use the app all day, always stable. I need a search field though for my IPad app.

My computer broke so I wasn’t able to finish my homework until I downloaded this Word app on my iPad in which I was able to finish my homework. Highly recommend👍

Very good for an iOS version but still missing several formatting features that would be “nice to have”. Hope to see continued expansion of this version .

Get this app!😋

I love this app on my phone. I am a high school student and students in my board receive a free 365 personal account and I guess I like it because nothing is coming out of my pocket. Anyway, being able to type on my phone is useful for me because I travel often and having a word processor of this quality is amazing for my academics. I do have a request for the iPhone version, I cannot find out how to change text font. I can change font, Not the size. Otherwise, love word. I also use outlook and onenote. Very useful!

The app used to be a 5 star for me, but the newest update with the new logo ruined it for me. It’s extremely laggy and everytime I write my text it doesn’t show until a few seconds later.

Le Word sur iPad est très pratique. Mais je trouve qu'il devrait avoir plus d'options

Word.

Word is good it lets me type in many different fonts and it helped me hand in assignments on time

I’m close to turning 76 years old and I do have major tech challenges. I’ve used Word in the past and have recently tried to fit and send out several chapters of my memoirs. I keep losing them however with each update. Hope to conquer the frustrations in due course and continue my writing. Thank you.

Word is cool

It’s v good helper

Good it helped me with my school work when I don’t have my laptop with me

Good provider for recording incidents on writing . EMAIL transfers could not use all features from WORD, like color, and font.

Can you add a dark mode that makes the documents themselves dark? Otherwise, it’s a great app.

I have had this app for a while now. I am a student and work full time. This app is a necessity for me. I have found that using google docs. Or even the Notes app and then copying and pasting it to my word document is superior to trying to fight with word’s glitching. For one, the app logs me out of my account almost all of the time! This is extremely frustrating because I can’t use the auto fill feature to sign in and it slows me down. Then there’s the fact that I can’t always type because of how glitchy the app can be. I usually have to have multiple apps open when I’m doing my school work, but Word is the only app where I experience a huge slowdown when multitasking. I wish I could customize the app in some ways just to make it fit my needs. I wish I didn’t have to scroll all the way down to find Times New Roman font. I know all of these things aren’t necessarily difficult to overcome, but I would like it if the app would just work like any other writing app. The app just feels so out of place and a bit outdated when I use it and compare it to apps as simple as Notes. My time is very limited and I wish I didn’t have to battle with this app every time I open it. I won’t give it a terrible rating, because it is the only app I can use to submit my essays and it works, slowly but it gets the job done. I just wish it would work more smoothly. I ask the devs to please make the app more user friendly. I know you guys have a tough job, but please keep this in mind. Thank you.

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.

If only they would fix it! I have used Microsoft Word all my life. Had it on my computers growing up and even on my phones. Used it all through college and learned how to actually most of its functions to make it easier to write essays and documents and all of it. It’s great! The app for the phone is great too! I got the office 365 subscription so I’m set! But I’m mostly on my phone (iOS) nowadays and I love being able to just write what I need on the spot. But for a year now, going on two, the App keeps crashing!!! The updates don’t seem to fix it. I don’t think it’s compatible for iOS devices. It happens on my tablet too! It’ll log in and download the document and 10-15mins into writing in it, the app just CRASHES!!! They’ve fixed it up so you don’t lose MOST OF your progress when writing, but it’s annoying!!! I like to keep a journal of my days and when I’m in the middle of writing my thoughts and feelings, the app just crashes and I have to wait for it to start up, download the document I was working on and proceed to where I was crashed out. It won’t even register the last place you were writing at. At first I thought it’s just gonna happen once or twice but the more I use the app the more it happens 6-8 times in the space of an hour. I pay my subscription like everyone else and I just want them to fix the issue with the iOS systems. Every time it crashes I load it back up and send a report. Have been doing it since it first started happening. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL WRITERS!!! PLEASE FIX IT!!!

I downloaded this app to write on the go, because writing in my notes app was rather tiring and would lag often. At first, this app suited me well. But after awhile (like a couple weeks) it started being glitchy. I would tap the screen to go to a certain sentence and it’d bring me to the top (very annoying to have to scroll back down 40 pages) and sometimes when I would highlight a word it would highlight not where I selected. However, my biggest complaint is that is doesn’t save. I’ve checked and double checked that autosave is on, I’ve made sure I’ve connected it to my one drive, yet still it won’t save. The first time this happened it erased maybe 4 pages of progress. I thought it was my fault at first, maybe something had gone wrong on my end. I didn’t recall exiting the document before closing the app, maybe it’s on me. But then last night, after 3+ hours in which I wrote almost 4k words across 7 pages, I made sure it had said “saved” and made sure I closed the document before hand. When I woke up this morning to go back in, ALL my progress had been completely erased. It was massively disappointing, especially considering it was a rather important thing. Now I will have to redo do it, but it won’t be on this app. I hate to give word a bad review but this has now happened twice and erased a lot of progress on my end. Please fix this.

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.

I came to write this review because I have lost my second document. I would be typing in Word, then it would start lagging to the point where I would have to save the document and then force close out of it. I would open it again, type until I was done, and then save the file again. It’s important to note that not only did I have auto save on while typing, but I also turn it off and manually save my documents before closing the app. This is the second time I’ve discovered that Word lost my data, or just didn’t even save it like it told me it did. I have never had a program say it has saved data, and then turn around and delete it or not actually save it. I thought it was an unfortunate accident the first time it happened, but now that it’s happened again, I’m really irritated. I found another review from AN ENTIRE YEAR AGO where they had this exact same thing happen to them. This issue is such a downer, especially if you’re like me and lose entire essays that take hours to write and edit. I downloaded this app because I grew up with Word and I don’t understand how to use the formatting tools in Google docs. Needless to say, I’ll be looking into that a bit more. This app lags like crazy regardless if your data is lost or not, so I would really consider that before downloading.

In most times, the prompt jumps to the very first line after a few second later whenever I touch the middle of the screen to edit a docx file. This is very annoying since my file is of 98 pages. Then I should pull down the scroll bar to the bottom of the document. This happens very often, especially when in Mobile view. The second thing is about the page loading steps or speed. By moving down the scroll bar the pages are loaded incrementally. But it has too many steps to the bottom page. Scrolling down the bar to the bottom of the screen loads pages a little. I couldn’t find a good way to jump to the bottom page at once. And this happens in Mobile view. The third frustrating thing is the reaction speed is not just slow, it’s really slow. When I type a character, say A, that appears in the screen after about 0.3~0.5s. This issue also has something to do with Mobile view, I think. The fourth is about moving the cursor with a long-touch. This not only related to Word but to all the other Office 365 applications I guess. This app adopting the obsolete way shows a convex glass that zoom-in around the cursor when I long-touch the screen. Apple changed the way it moves the cursor since iOS 13 if I’m right. I’m not gonna explain it in detail here but the new way is much elegant and gives seamless experience in editing the text.

I’ve used Word for years, and I am really good at it and take advantage of the really cool features that other word processor programs lack. The desktop version of Word is amazing!! However, Word on the iPad is mediocre! For instance, I utilize fields and cross reference data between different parts of a document, which is a huge time saver for me. Unfortunately, I’m unable to take advantage of this feature on my iPad, which means, that I must work on a laptop or desktop computer to really get the benefits of using Word in this day and age. Also, I really don’t like the automatic saving feature because I frequently use templates that I do not want to overwrite while working and the automatic saving feature makes this impossible. Please fix this! I wish there was a way to select, in the settings, a “discontinue automatic saving” option. If Google Docs had these features, I would likely make a permanent switch to that program because I appreciate working seamlessly with others. Also, as one who works in schools, I see that high school students have been trained in Google Docs and they aren’t familiar with using Word. I see a need to get with the times and I’m not seeing Word advance it’s features; however, as long as the above options are only available on Word, I will be sticking with them. Please, make these crucial features available on the app version of Word as well!

I hope whoever is in charge of the word app on iPad OS can read this as this isn’t an attack on the app. Apple’s new iPad OS is great for productivity, and I would love if this app can fix the very minor issues that prevents me from dailying my iPad. The app is riddled with bugs and awful developer decisions. For some ungodly reason, fonts can’t be searched through the font selection menu, forcing you to scroll down to find the right font. It is especially bad as every piece of written work needs to be in Times New Roman. Another big issue is each word document forgets the zoom level I’ve placed beforehand. Why have the zoom level default to fill screen when it doesn’t help with margin calibration. Why have the menus hidden inside other menus? Microsoft has been on this path of making everything more difficult for no reason, the same issues is found on Windows 11. Again, this is isn’t an attack on the developers, but why design your application in this way, where it prioritizes simplicity over productivity? I’m sorry to say, but everyone who uses Word could care less of how “clean” your UI is. Just make the Mac version of word and have it on the iPad. The current Word for iPad is good for on the go editing/writing. But if you try to do more, it will frustrate you with its confusing design choices.

This Microsoft Word app for iPadOS feels like a half-hearted attempt at a mobile word processor. Even after years of using it sparingly, I'd be better off with Notes. The app stutters on an iPad Pro – seriously, is this 2005? – and forget about using it for serious work. Features crucial for professional documents, like proper formatting and track changes, are either missing entirely or severely limited. Adding to the frustration is the subscription model. Features that should be standard, like advanced editing tools, are locked behind a paywall. It's like buying a car and then having to pay extra to use the steering wheel! While Pages may not be perfect, it's at least reliable for basic tasks. This Word app, on the other hand, treats your iPad like a glorified potato. Microsoft, with all your resources, this feels like a slap in the face to your iPad users. Where's the powerful mobile version of Word we know and, well, tolerate? Did your development team get waylaid building a Clippy AI assistant with a stapler addiction? This app is a complete waste of space. Save yourself the frustration and avoid it. There are far better options out there. Looking for even basic photo editing? Forget about it. This app is about as useful as a chocolate teapot on Mars. Verdict: 0 out of 10 stars (if negative stars were possible). EDIT: Haha I have to laugh and add on to this! There’s no native support in the app to AirPrint or in fact print literally anywhere….

I absolutely love this app! My problem is with the people who make it. I purchased Office 2016 for each of my three computers. One copy was at a discounted student rate so it only cost $50 the other two copies came in at $110 each. I do this so I don’t have to pay a monthly fee forever! But then I realize that you can’t actually use the app version without paying for this 365 membership. So now total it cost me $270 plus taxes to setup my three computers and now I have to fork over another $70/year to use the app? For anyone who needs to do specialized things that can’t be done in pages or Gdocs this is the only way, so Microsoft stabs you in the pocketbook with their success and exploits this software for every penny they can. . . Hey update I just switched to a pc 2 in 1 and it turns out that if you use that instead you don’t have to pay a monthly payment forever!!! . . . . Hey update it turned out the pc kept crashing and the stylus system wasn’t nearly as intuitive so I cam back to apple products! Almost forgot about the monthly punishment from Microsoft for being an apple user. Same price for software with less features and of course the fact that I will have to pay them until I die just to be able to edit .docs on my IPad wow cause that is worth $7 a month? I can’t wait for someone to come out with an office suite that takes over your market share Microsoft, with any luck they will be conservative enough to let people just buy the software. Seriously though, I love the app and would happily pay $150 for it just to get away from the monthly payments. I bet I am not alone!

Microsoft Word on the iPad is the software equivalent of that one friend who shows up to a party already drunk, spills red wine on your couch, then insists on “helping” you clean while making everything worse. I despise it with the fiery passion of a thousand exploding clipboards. First, the interface feels like it was designed by someone who hates touchscreens and possibly humanity. Those microscopic ribbons and toolbars? Adorable on a 27-inch monitor, pure torture on a 13-inch iPad. Want to bold some text? Prepare to fat-finger your way through three menus while accidentally summoning the “Insert Table” demon. Formatting is a nightmare circus. Try adjusting margins and watch your document spontaneously reorganize itself like it’s having a digital meltdown. OneDrive sync? More like “OneDrive occasionally remembers you exist, usually at 3 a.m. when it decides to duplicate your file seventeen times.” And don’t get me started on track changes. It’s less “collaborative editing” and more “watch your co-workers’ passive-aggressive comments bloom like toxic flowers while the app lags harder than my ex replying to texts.” Apple Notes laughs at Word’s expense. Google Docs sends its condolences. Microsoft Word on iPad? It’s the reason I now draft everything elsewhere and only open this bloated beast when absolutely forced. Zero stars. Would rather chisel my report into stone tablets.

I don’t know if it’s Microsofts way of punishing Apple users or if neither Apple nor Microsoft care about the app experience but the iPad version of Word is by far the worst I have ever used. It does not behave as it does on a desktop and making a document to study with and adding texts, pictures, tables, even paragraphs is an absolute nightmare. It doesn’t save your initial preferences like fonts and text size, it anchors pictures so you can’t move them and text wrapping does help change it either. Just now, i wanted to add a row above the first row on a table and it added it but didn’t show the lines that are supposed to separate them. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t frustrated while using Word on my iPad for such simple tasks that it should be able to handle. Just because of this issue I am gonna be forced to use an old laptop to make and edit documents when I have a perfectly modern iPad that I use for everything else. If you’ve used Word on a desktop before you know what I’m talking about. The excuse of “oh Word app on iPad is the web version and thus it is limited” or anything along those lines is just purely unacceptable because if Microsoft or Apple really cared about its users experience on Word they would make a perfectly functional, full version of Word available for iPad users.

I have been using Microsoft word on pc, mac, and iPad for several years and mostly had a good experience. Until recently with the iPad app, which I use almost everyday. The app will randomly crash and delete hours worth of progress I had made on a document. It freezes, sits, and then force closes and when I reopen, my hard work is gone. I auto save to Dropbox, and after experiencing this crash issue multiple times, I periodically go in and out of documents to make sure they are saving, as well as check the menu bar to see that it says “changes are automatically saved to Dropbox.” Which it always does, even during that hour of work that didn’t save after the crash! Why is it telling me it’s saving when it’s really not? I don’t believe this a Dropbox issue, because word itself is crashing. Last time it crashed when I was exiting the document (doing my insane self-checking because I’m so paranoid about this problem). Just froze, and I knew that it was too late. There’s nothing more devastating. I’ve troubleshooted this problem, but no progress yet. I’m considering another word processor app at this point, but that would be inconvenient because no one else has Dropbox integration. Fix your app, please. This is ridiculous.

No consistency across my devices. Word has been plagued with tons of design flaws, defects, unresolved formatting defects for decades (ie bullet points never working correctly since I started using word since like 1994 yet now in 2026 they still don’t work correctly). Instead of dedicating resources to fix these known issues they spent resources on forcing us users into unwanted “Clippy” the annoying paper clip that insisted on popping up every time I was typing a memo. Clippy provided zero value added input, suggestions, recommendations and found zero repeats of duplicate information but instead only suggested grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors (which basic spell check had already caught. After years of complaints they FINALLY got rid of Clippy. Enter 2022ish and they decide to force us into unwanted, inaccurate, non helpful co-pilot/AI which is no more helpful than Clippy was. Instead they FORCE AI into every corner of windows 11, including notebook, paint, their screen grabbing app,, etc. And force unwanted MICROSLOP ads and advertisements onto us when all we did was upgrade to windows 11 pro, pay an annual subscription for MICROSLOP 365 CLASSIC WITH NO CO PILOT/AI yet it still rears its ugly unwanted head everywhere I go in every dark corner of windows 11, and MICROSLOP 365 co pilot apps. Yet all my defects from 1995 are still present, unresolved, and un touched by MICROSLOP because they chose to instead throw billions to forcing us into their idiotic, worthless AI which I call Artificial non-intelligence.

I’ve been using Microsoft word for 30yrs. And it’s clear there is a major decline. I have older editions of Microsoft (back when it was a CD Rom) and the program is much more reactive, and responsive to my wants. The program on my iPad for Microsoft word is frustrating as it wont allow you to do what should be easy features without involving Copilot, trying to complete my sentences for me, or saving my files to random areas. Yesterday, I tried to ‘Select All’ several times and it was glitchy and refused. Often times it would just delete the text completely. Other times when I wanted to press between text spaces to correct a word on my own, it will highlight the entire sentence and immediately pop up suggestions without my wanting it too, all while making it difficult to correct what I want on my own. I literally have to use my direction arrows on my Bluetooth keyboard to navigate where I what to go otherwise I spend more time trying to correct what Microsoft “thinks” I want done. I’ve taken to using the older versions of Word that seem much more friendly to writers. Newer Microsoft word has made me rage quit on multiple occasions, only to make me transfer my writing to my old computer just to use the 2013 version of Word.

I use this app on my iPad Pro for school. There are multiple annoying bugs that I figured would have been fixed by now. After years of using the app, there are multiple things that get annoying. When you want to highlight something, no matter what color, it highlights in blue. It works fine on my phone, but not on my iPad... After about a half hour or less of typing a paper, the buttons on the top of the page, such as bold, italics, underline, etc., start changing their symbols randomly to the symbols of different buttons. They still work, but for example, I have no idea where the button to indent the line is after all of the buttons change over and over after every key that I press. Why Microsoft? Fix it. Like I said, it has been years this has not been fixed. It works better on my iPhone than on my iPad Pro. That does not make sense. Also, if you care enough to still be reading, one last thing. When I open a document that I received in an email in outlook, it opens the document in word. I need to remember to make a copy of it immediately before typing on it because I have made the mistake at least twice to just be typing away for hours (obviously with the auto save on) and then finish the paper or whatever I am working on. Then press the back arrow, expecting it to take me to my list of documents saved on word, instead takes me back to outlook and I am unable to open the paper that I was just typing. This one glitch has cost me many many hours of time. It would be nice if you fixed that so it would ACTUALLY auto save. Please finally pay attention to your iPad Pro app. I know there are not a lot of people with iPad Pros, but you should still update it every once in a while.

Mostly convenient until, oops, I’m three hours into a paper, one that I have exited in and out of, one that AUTO SAVE IS ON while I’m working on it, and OOPS, it didn’t save three hours of work. I’ve had whole pages of work disappear. There is no pattern to this horrible glitch, there is no reason, it isn’t like I was going from someone else’s WiFi back to my home internet and maybe we lost service in between. Nope. None of this. Just out of no where, it decides to eliminate hours, HOURS, HOURS of work. There is no accessing it anywhere. When you look up the info on the file, it picks some RANDOM time that it last saved. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ME. In fact, I had a ten page document printed out and had my husband proof it, and he asked, “Where’s the rest, it seemed to have ended mid-sentence.” And oh, would you look at that, all that work on that chapter of a book vanished. I couldn’t even tell you when. That leaves me double and triple proof-reading everything to make sure it saved ANYTHING. But here we go, the super cool, non-saving auto-save feature just eliminated three hours of work right before my very eyes today. Seemingly for no reason. Work from last night that bled into today’s three hour work session-gone. GONE.

Update: even more functions/commands aren’t working since initially writing this and I can now no longer create new documents. FIX IT I generally love Microsoft word but as student (in a very intense/fast paced program) who uses word as my primary note taking software and this newest update has made note taking/studying very difficult. There have been a few times I have gotten to class and all the homework/notes I had done the night before were deleted even with it all being saved to my iCloud and not just my local drive. The highlight text and “find” feature also don’t work at all. I have some documents with over 100 pages of notes and not being able to search where anything is has been very frustrating for me while trying to study for major exams as I have to scroll though many pages to find text instead of just being able to search it. Also in regards to the highlight text feature, it not being available makes formatting paper almost impossible as I cannot just highlight over my entire text. Again, I have used word for many years and do love Microsoft products but this newest update has really messed stuff up for me I would like to see these bugs patched. I will change this review once it’s fixed. Thanks

This app is laggy and wonky as hell. It have a great concept but it is still just a great concept. The lagging is real. You can even see when you try to scroll the pages, it is janky and irritating. Typing is lagged, sometimes a few words behind. ‘Drawing’ is a nice feature but the writings moved a bit after you remove the pencil, so it became really not precise. If I’m writing with my pencil, it shift either to the right or left a bit from where I jot down, making a very not smooth, irritating writing experience. The eraser is even worse. You can erase a word and then the next one won’t, and it brings forward the keyboard instead. The only fix I could do was when that happened, I turn on drawing with fingers and erases with my finger instead. So annoying. If you want to move your writing, it won’t select more than one object at a time, which means you have to move letters by letters, unlike onenote which you could lasso a bunch of stuff. It’s just so annoying. If you’re wondering why I didn’t use onenote, I do use onenote. It’s just this one class that give options of lecture notes in docs format, and we have a bunch of definitions and calculations in a single lecture note, so I typed when it were definitions, and write when doing calculations.

I’m a student and I always use iPad and PC at the same time to answer my exam questions. PC for typed answers and iPad for handwritten notes. However there is a problem with synchronization between pc and ipad. The things that I’ve erased on iPad will not be deleted on pc and at the end everything is stacking on top of each other and I have to use so much time to fix it, do you know it affected my grades greatly. I was so desperate crying because the exam is 1.5hrs and I spent 30 mins just to fix this stupid issue. Please work on it asap, people are relying on this feature with time sensitive work 😭. Another thing to mention is a file that I could edit on my PC could be read only on iPad. I’m using the same account and it’s my file, why couldn’t I edit it?! It’s super duper frustrating you know, because it sometimes allow to edit on both devices but occasionally it doesn’t. And guess what, that occasion was during my exam. I couldn’t complete my handwritten parts with my iPad, and it wasted so much of my time to find out why but nvr got an answer, and I used a paper at the end. What does that mean? This app has failed its purpose. Alright? Don’t just try to fix it, make sure you fix it and optimize it, never allow a next time to happen.

I have always used Word for as long as I can remember to write essays for school, create a resume for a job, or just to write random notes when needed. But right now I am so frustrated with Word. I have a brand new IPad and even paid for the high end keyboard so I could do my work for school. I downloaded this app because I thought it would work great for my many homework assignments and study guides I had to get done. But all it has done is frustrate me and make me want to throw the thing across the room! It has many great features (when logged in) and should be capable of handling my typing skills, but for some reason it can’t? The lag on this app is CRAZY bad. I can’t get anything done on bigger files where I have more than 15 pages and over 3,000 words...which is not even a lot?? The app is unusable, if I can’t type at the pace I need to with 3,000 words in my document then this app is a bust. Another great thing about the app is that even when you have the “Auto-Save” on, it likes to not save all of your work and make you start all over again! Even better when it crashes! I’ve seen these issues on forums that have come up from all the way back when the app launched. Come on Microsoft, I expected better.

I am fed up with “word.” After years of use it has been my experience that there is always something to deal with when it comes to Microsoft, particularly “word.” Purchase, after purchase, subscription after subscription, you would think that they would value their customers by providing services paid for at bare minimum, let alone making things harder on them. Specifically, to use this app on iPad Pro I have to sign in every time I use it; I mean, seriously? To use a word processing application that is already missing half the features that are offered on most other platforms? Um, Really? -If you are okay having to sign into an application EVERY SINGLE TIME, just to type out a quick note or report, as if it was an email or the like (which don’t even require logging in every use), then do your thing; but, if after years of investing in company feel like it is just never enough, then this app just may not be for you. If this is you, then there are plenty of smaller developers who still believe in valuing their customers by at least providing them with the services they originally paid for, while Apple, among many, many others, value the consumer by providing these services FOR FREE!!!

Prepare to lose your work. I have always been a loyal user of Microsoft Word on the computer. I use the program to write up the first draft of my novel but more recently, I switched to writing my novel on my phone because it was more convenient to be able to jot down ideas while out and about. I ended up signing up for the subscription to be able to take my work with me on the go and have it sync to the app on my computer. However, I just cannot justify how glitchy this app is. After using the app for over a year, I have lost more work than I can count. The final straw was what happened today. I was writing using the app on my phone and my finger brushed the Back button at the top of the screen. Normally, this is not a problem because the app usually pops up a message asking if you want to delete or save the document you have written (if you have not yet named/saved the document yourself). Instead, it did not ask this, but deleted the entire document and backed out to the home screen. I tried scouring the Internet on how to retrieve the document, but it seems that if you are on the iPhone app, you are out of luck. I’m going to be taking my money elsewhere and will be looking for a more reliable app to write my book with because this is not the first time this has happened. For a company that has been around for so long, I would honestly expect more from them. There are several other reviews complaining about this exact problem. But it’s obvious that they don’t care about fixing their glitchy app. Do yourself a favor—especially if you’re working with important documents—and save your money for a company that actually listens to the feedback of countless customers complaining about the brokenness of their product.

My Word 365 app suddenly stopped populating my “Recent” documents. In fact, while there are perhaps fifty important docx there, only four are shown, three recent and one from 18 months ago. I called support (hard to get to by the way), and spent two hours on the phone with an agent trying to fix the problem to no avail. Then things got weird. I was elevated to the onedrive people and they only suggested things I had already done with the first agent. I had tried those fixes several times. Then one agent said, “This is not a onedrive problem. Please follow these links and you’ll get your problem solved.” Those links brought me back to entry-level help! Then they wrote again about “my problem with copilot”. I didn’t have a problem with copilot. They mixed up cases. Then they wrote to say we should have a thirty minute meeting. I said ok. Sent my schedule. Never heard from them again. Then they wrote asking me to create a video showing the problem. I did. Never heard from them again. I am a professional writer. These files are extremely important to me and other people are waiting for my work product. This has been a terrible experience unlike any I have had before with MS. I wish someone would get back to me!

This app used to be pre-loaded on all computers as just a standard for typing documents, writing letters, etc. Now however it is a subscription based app that gets very little updating and has no right being subscription based other than greedy business practices and ignorant customers. It’s sad to see that the standard for applications that are used to make money or used for education that used to all be either free or a one time purchase are all now subscription based. I cannot go I’ve more than one star since there is little than more functionality than the basic ios notes app, and yet that is completely free. The problem is the companies that make this app subscription based are the same companies that make this app the standard and make it a requirement for the workplace. Disgusting. Disrespectful. And to top it all off, the mobile version of this is an absolute joke as it stands, losing much of the functionality and features that the desktop version offers. If you were smart, you would stick with the notes app or just get notability. You would be much better served and have a much better user experience.

I’ve been using Microsoft software since 1987. When I switched to Mac, it was only because I could get a subscription to Office 365 and continue to use Word. Imagine my surprise to discover - after hours on the phone with Apple Support and Microsoft Support - the auto-save function will ONLY work if you use One Drive. I didn’t move over to Mac to use Microsoft storage. I want everything in iCloud because it makes sense to have one unified storage location. Yes, I can still hit file/save every ten minutes - but I shouldn’t have to deal with that distraction because I paid to get an app that would work on my computer. The inconvenience of this demand is making me consider moving over to all of the apple products. Pages isn’t that different from Word - in a lot of ways, it’s even better. So, here’s my official request, Microsoft. If you’re going to make people pay for your product, you don’t get to insist how they use it. Open that feature so we can save to the iCloud! If you have to demand that we use a product like One Drive, you’re admitting that it’s just not good enough to attract Mac users on its own merits. Fix this please!

Today, I discovered that I cannot use the Apple Magic Keyboard with the Word App anymore. It will not allow me to type within a document. I can type in the search bar, and I can type in a file browser within the app, but not within any document. I cannot use my cursor keys either. I have tried resetting, reinstalling, turning off accessibility features (removing the space bar from the activate option) and other ideas. I have completed a hard reboot and reseated the iPad many times. No change in the behavior. I should also note that I have used the keyboard to WRITE THIS REVIEW! The keyboard and iPad work fine and no other apps are showing this behavior. The Word App? Not so much. When I go to report a problem, it will only let me report it if I had purchased something directly from Microsoft. But the app is free and the subscription is through my place of employment, so there’s literally no way for me to report the problem. I’d be happy to give 4 or 5 stars if I could actually use the app as it was intended… but without being able to use my Apple Magic Keyboard, the app is just dead weight - an overgrown DOCX viewer.

Right in the middle of a 17 page thesis your app suddenly had all kinds of weird issues going on. The touch editing just started cutting random pieces of text out of my document. It changed the font size numerous times…without prompt. The laggy typing got worse (you really need to do something about that, it is a huge problem, everyone complains about it). If that wasn’t maddening enough on a deadline, there was an announced “New look and feel” advertisement flashing in the upper right corner and then things really went wild. Several times just as I was in the middle of a difficult passage, I would hit the space bar and find myself back at the beginning of the paper. By the time I could find my place, my thought and phrasing inspiration was gone. I have written before. Please fix your issues. Do not “improve” things into a user nightmare. I wonder if anyone from Microsoft even reads these reviews. Some of the same issues I have pointed out are listed on reviews from 2 years ago. Must be great to have a monopoly on a much needed and used product.

I’ve used Word for a long time, through my years in the service, and then through college and grad school. The app is definitely missing some of the functionality of the version on PCs or Macs. Even so, that’s not the biggest problem I have with Word on my iPad. After using the app for about an hour, the cursor gets bogged down and there is a huge delay between what I type on the keyboard and what shows up on the document. I’ve tried closing and reopening the app, clearing any caches I can find in my tablets settings, and even shutting the tablet all the way down. None of those are successful. The only think I’ve found that works is closing the app and stepping away for a couple hours. When I come back, it works fine for about an hour, then does the same thing again. I travel a lot and do most of my work remotely, and taking a two hour break every hour would not allow me to get any work done. I would scrap this app if it weren’t required for my workflow. There’s potential here, but the app needs a lot of work.

The unnecessary format updates…just why? For the most part it’s okay to navigate, I don’t bother updating the app because there is always something unnecessary being changed when it functioned just fine beforehand. The only reason why I have this updated after a few months is because i had to delete the app awhile ago due to a personal issue with my email. While it’s not a drastic change, I just find that you’re causing more issues with users in terms of navigating the app if the placement of functions are being redirected. Nothing wrong with trying something new but maybe just slow down a bit. I’m a college student, pretty aware of at least the basics of tech and how to navigate a writing application. I shouldn’t have to google simple things so I can find where the functions are again because you guys decide every few months you want to scramble the function locations. I honestly feel bad for those who aren’t as familiar with technology, this will cause your consumers to get frustrated to the point they want to use an alternative service.

UPDATE: Now requires a subscription to use. So I can no longer edit documents I’ve previously created, let alone create new ones. It’s useless now. I sometimes go weeks or even months between use. It makes no sense to pay for a subscription and not use it. This is insanity. A free word processor that doesn’t process words unless you pay. ====== I have found this app to be pretty good, considering it’s running on a tablet. It’s obviously not a full-featured version but it handles the basics well enough. Things like formatting, tables, images, headers/footers all work as expected, if a little clunky. But again, this is a tablet app so what would you expect. My only beef with it is the Autosave. Even if I turn it off, the document is saving whenever it wants. And sometimes I open a doc only to find that Autosave has been turned back on. Not that it matters, because the app ignores the setting. This is problematic because if I make changes I don’t want to save, they have already been saved. If I close the doc and reopen it, everything I was trying to toss by not saving is there. Remove the broken feature or fix it.

It would be very helpful if the stylus could be used to move the cursor into a precise position. I find the use of my finger very frustrating and time consuming. Generally it's pretty good otherwise.

Crashed several times without saving the assignment the way I did it. Instead saved changes it made on its own. Like moving my graphs and tables as well as DELETING MY WORK. Now have four hours to fix all the mistakes this app has caused and still finish the assignment. 100% furious and unsatisfied. Do not recommend at all, not worth the risk.

I cannot tell you how many times word has frozen and then deleted all of my work. This needs to be fixed. Most recently all of my work was deleted after I tried to turn on auto save.

You want a review? Here’s a review. Everything I want to do on Word, I have to have a subscription to do. How useful is that? It’s not. Want to change from portrait to landscape? Oh, you need a subscription. Want to track changes? Oh, you need a subscription. Want to change colours? Oh, you need a subscription. What bloody use is this app for those who don’t want to shell out too much money for a subscription?

The functionality of word on apple tablets is extremely comprised. As apple computers have released their iPad Pro which could support more functions. However Microsoft does not do as well on apple products.

I love this app but I downloaded word on my phone and I went to continue writing my story and I looked and all the letters were jacked up I couldn’t even read it and there were blank pages where they were not supposed to be! The update says “bug fixes” but this was horrible to the point I can’t even read it I restarted the app and it was still not readable!😠 Please do better next time Microsoft word

Won’t let you type documents, just open them. Trash

Hey MS !!! For sure you can affort pay a couple of programmers to make a real decent version of Office in a IOS device

Je pouvais utiliser word avant mais je ne peux plus.,Pourquoi?

Despite accepting my payment, the app continues to tell me that I do not have a subscription. Useless waste of my money, and time, as I need to access and edit documents.

Limited access to tools and no access to your own work. Can’t send/save anything I do unless I pay. Word has been free for years, not worth paying for.

Word document is not working very well, will not allow me to open a new document. I would give it zero stars, but that option wasn’t available.

Every time I try to export a document to a folder in the files app using Word, it exports a files of ZERO KB. Unacceptable.

Copilot:(👎

Not recommended at all. Crashing all the time!.

Crashing

Absolutely terrible. Nothing like on a Surface at all. Very difficult to navigate.

Old logo looks better

I’ll work on my computer on the same account then when I’m on the go (which I need data to do pls change) it doesn’t save so I need to wait until I get home and save it manually so that hopefully my changes make it to my phone. Just sucks pls fix

After updated to new version I’m not able to type in content. IOS already in latest version

I was using it few weeks ago from when I was studying. It was perfectly fine then. My new semester started and it got very inconvenient cause I can't even type in the word documents when I add a new one.

Don’t like that I have to log in

I, personally think that only gay people can say words. Therefore, all of you are gay.

Used to love the app but now it always signs me out with one use and I can’t sign in again unless I delete and re download the app. Very frustrating

Dark mode man. Add dark mode.

My first issue was when I purchased the office 365 I was supposed to receive 15 mths instead of just a year as promotion with the purchase of my new ipad. I did not receive this. Word on IPad has been so far difficult to use and it is now not letting me save a document for a college course nor can I email it to myself. So far very dissapointed

Pros: + Voice dictation & speech-to-text + Full text formatting capabilities + Syncs well w/ OneDrive Cons: - Slower than google docs & most writing apps (I’m using an iPhone8) - Screen glitch-scrolls. I can be typing or searching a doc & it suddenly scrolls to different places far from where I was. Working in docs larger than a few pages becomes unbearable. I have searched for, & attempted solutions for this several times over the course of a year but to no avail. For this reason, & the slowness, I have migrated all my daily work to google docs. More cons: - Likes to open your last doc for you, which takes too much time to load. Choosing to cancel this fails 98% of the time. - No dark mode - Won’t edit old format-versions of .doc. You can work around this by creating new versions, but I’d prefer not to end up with a duplicate doc for every old doc I’ve needed to edit. - The scrolling glitch again. When I go into a doc looking to copy a paragraph out of it, I will spend an extra 5 minutes just trying to get it to stay on the one paragraph I need long enough to get into edit mode, select it, & hit copy. It takes multiple attempts to get incremental successes, & it’s just so mind-boggingly uncooperative.

This app is supposed to save your work and for me it did not save mine I am very upset about this as I now have to redo a ton of pages of work

I hate having to log into my Microsoft profile each time I want to access the Office software… just a peave I’ve had for a while….

Tried uploading my resume so many times now. Just won’t save a thing. They should have kept it to the computer because the app does not work what so ever
