Customer Reviews
Some bugs never get fixed
Recently, which is to say the past few months, certain bugs have appeared across all my iOS devices. For example, even though I have turned off automatic corrections, or even Word's own spell checking, it stubbornly insists in "correcting" certain words: It turns nearly all i's into capital I's, whether or not they are at a beginning of a sentence. If you write "it is" for example, you find that it does not like that, and turns it to "It Is." It looks much more better. A word like "always" is made to hiss at the end, and "corrected" to alwayss". I assume it finds this more pleasing to the eye as well as to the ear because it adds an extra "s" to many more words ending with a single one. It also does not like the normal spelling of "which" and converts it to "whichh". There are many other examples, which I am not going to enumerate in detail. But I have the same problem both on iphone and ipad. It has made it terribly annoying to write anything using them now. I don't see these issues addressed anywhere, and asking in forums will only get responses suggesting you do this thing or that thing, all of which I have already done. It seems no one has a clue what it going on. So, I'll leave this three-star review here until someone figures out a way to fix this.
Great app. Limited being on a cell phone.
MS Word works very well on my iPhone 5. It seamlessly integrates with OneDrive and makes it very easy to work on one document with several devices. I'm working on a novel and do most of my work on a big workstation, Writer's group editing with a laptop, and quick reading and review on the phone.
The only real problem here is that it's extremely clumsy to do much more than very basic writing and editing on a tiny screen. It's very hard to copy and paste, select, or move around in the document. I'm also glad this uses OneDrive instead of Apple's needlessly complicated ways of sharing files with a Windows machine.
VS PAGES OR ADOBE
I started using Pages when Word seemed to be somewhat incomplete when Mico 360 first started. Adobe used to be easy enough to create a DOC OR PDF using the MOBILE APP where ever I was. Then Adobe instead of increasing the amount of tools to edit a document on IPHONE OR IPAD, they decreased the tools.
Pages was easy, but still problematic when saving it iCloud and then iCloud Drive became confusing.
Word listened to everyone’s problems. Not ONLY IS IT SIMPLE, IT HAS COMPLICATED TOOL FEATURES USUALLY A PC WOULD GIVE, and it simple in the way it is saved.
5 years from now Microsoft will be worth more than Apple due to their curve from the Xbox One and actually implementing things CONSUMERS WANT.
