This app did as on the box until approximately a month ago, now it unpredictability crashes multiple times during writing a letter or report. Every crash takes last sentence or so out and requires re-opening. This should be much better for such a major company.

Major bug… corrupted a document that I have been working on for a week

I have spent a week working on an extremely important document. Saved the document to iCloud Drive so that I could access it from my iPhone whilst travelling… only to have the entire document corrupted and un-recoverable… only to find on MS support forums that this has been an issues since at least 2023!
Unacceptable.

Saving is a paid option now

From my understanding, to save a document it is now a “feature” rather than something that comes with the app. This means you now have to pay for premium to save things to one drive from word on your phone. This makes no sense. It defeats the whole purpose of word.

PLEASE fix this one annoyance

As infamous as most Ms apps for iOS go, I can’t really complain with this version of Ms Word. Sure there’s a bit of patience required to accurately move the cursor around since you can’t adjust its size but you get used to it.
The only major problem is for some reason every time you want to adjust any highlighted text or table while zoomed in IT RESETS THE PAGE VIEW BACK TO ZOOMED OUT!
I’m not exaggerating when I say this is infuriating. This only happens in desktop view as the mobile view is beyond restrictive and reformats any document moved over to pc. This seems like such a simple fix or even to be an option in the settings.
I canceled my office 365 plan which I really enjoy purely because of this one unchangeable “feature”. Ms apps aren’t easy to reprogram for iOS I understand that but this is torture for anyone who doesn’t have microscopic vision to be able to write with a maximum zoomed out page view, especially with apple’s genius keyboard design that fills 45% of the screen and still after 15+ years, can’t be changed.
To conclude I will propose a deal. You fix this problem, I’ll buy a year subscription to office 365. I really hope this is seen.

Any staff seeing this please respond !! :: Great app with 0 flaws except a bit confusion.

Word is a remarkable, life-saving app!.. On laptop. I don’t know if I just have an issue of if all of the Microsoft apps don’t work on my 9th Gen iPad but every time I try to go into any documents or power point ( I am referring to all the Microsoft apps. ) It says I need a subscription or there was an error using the app. My wifi is fine but Microsoft apps don’t even require wifi. I thought maybe it was telling me to download a subscription because I was logged into my home account so I logged into my school/work account. It said the same thing and when opening documents on iPad, it would delete random parts of my work and say I need a subscription to edit or view my work. The parts then deleted even on laptop! I love these apps so much, they have saved me, but I am confused about what is happening on iPad. I have tried to search up the bug but it hasn’t came up and I have tried to email Microsoft support but I never received a response. If any of your staff see this please respond and tell me what is happening!

Absolutely horrible app.

I have always been very hesitant to use Word as I have had bad experience working on it before where the program has lagged and been difficult to use. However, this is my final straw. I was working on a very important project with autosave turned on and connected to a specific file on my iPad. When I exited the app I assumed everything had saved but when I returned the following day my work had been deleted and all that was left was the original document template which I had saved initially (not my added work). I have checked the document history and also tried to restore ‘unsaved’ documents but this did not work. The saving system that Word (and all other Microsoft programs that I am familiar with) use is outdated in comparison to competitors such as Google Docs - which does not require you to save your document to anything as it is all stored in the system on the app. I think that Word is in need of major system upgrades to ensure that paying customers are able to efficiently access and save their documents. It is simply not good enough for Microsoft to continue using these incredibly dysfunctional system. Do better.

Makes me want to claw my eyes out

I have been using Microsoft word for years on PC, however ever since I was forced to use it on an IPad for school I have had nothing but horrible experiences. This app does NOT WORK on IPad AT ALL, if you accidentally go over 500 words in your document, ‘Word’ has a seizure, freezes, and then changes the entire layout of your document. And it would have been slightly bearable if it just went back to being normal, but NO! Once it has a mental breakdown, you have to close ‘Word’ and then reopen it. And if you don’t save your work before it has a breakdown, well then you work is gone forever. Eventhough it says it’s auto saving it doesn’t. No app has ever given me so much pain, like Microsoft Word has.

Demure, mindful, cutesy

In the realm of words, where ideas take flight,
Microsoft Word shines, a beacon of light.
With tools at your fingertips, ready to share,
It weaves together thoughts with exquisite care.
From blank pages waiting, potential untold,
To templates and styles, both vibrant and bold.
Formatting made simple, a breeze to behold,
With every new feature, creativity unfolds.
Spellcheck and grammar, your diligent friend,
Ensuring your messages perfectly send.
Collaboration flows, a team’s dream come true,
With comments and changes, all easy to view.
Tables and charts make data a delight,
While rich text and images bring visions to sight.
Whether crafting a novel or a quick, simple note,
In the heart of this app, inspiration will float.
So here’s to Microsoft Word, a writer’s best mate,
A canvas for dreams, where the magic’s innate.
With every new update, it continues to soar,
A timeless companion, forever adored!
If you couldn’t tell, I love word.

Stupid word correction

I use word all the time and I have two complaints.
One- if you try to spell ‘Acne’ before you can type the E at the end of the word it corrects the ‘Acn’ to ‘Can’. So I have to seperate parts of the word and put it back together to try and make the word possible which ruins my flow of typing. It is SO annoying and I’ve had this problem repeatedly. Words should not automatically correct until you’ve typed a character signifying the word is done, like a space or full stop.
Two- The new AI editor feature should be possible to turn off. I can judge my own writing or ask a real person, I don’t want the computer deciding for me and making my document look messy. It’s been helpful probably a whole two times. Some people might want it but I don’t so make it optional please!!

EDITOR! Please, get rid of EDITOR!

I absolutely love word. As a highschool student, it’s the best thing given to me! But I have one large problem. I have sent many, many, many cries on word about the new editor system, and my peers agree with me. Please, please, please, either allow a disable tool, or just get rid of editor all together. It’s unwanted feedback I never wanted. A random guy never wanted. My friends and peers and probably everyone never wanted. I know what I’m talking about. I don’t need random feedback with an annoying line underneath saying I’ve done it wrong. That’s what auto corrects for! And, going back on every assignment I need to hand in digitally and change it, just so the teachers think I haven’t done something or spelt something wrong cause of the dumb line underneath is just a complete waste of time. Please Word. I beg of you. Just get rid of editor. It would’ve been a 5 stars if it wasn’t for editor. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Extremely Slow and Unreliable Printing Experience

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆
I am using the latest and fastest 2024 iPad Pro on the market, equipped with the M4 Chip, running iOS 17.5, and I expected a seamless experience from Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, that has not been the case.
I often create simple Word documents and include multiple photographs—in this instance, seven—for my daughter's school art photo collage project. The process of resizing the images, with five on the first page and two on the second, should be straightforward. However, every time I attempt to print the document, the app’s performance is ridiculous.
After selecting "Print," the app gets stuck on “Preparing Document For Printing” for an excessively long period, sometimes one to two minutes, before finally presenting the print options. On several occasions, the app has completely crashed during this process, forcing me to restart it. At other times, the app simply freezes, requiring a complete shutdown and restart before I can attempt to print again.
Given that I am using the most advanced iPad available, this level of lag and instability is simply unacceptable. Once the print menu finally loads, it would be great if the app offered more options, such as selecting standard, thick, or photo paper. This experience is why I am giving this app only 1 star.

Document unreadable issue

I’m a student that does most of my schoolwork on my iPad and on word, PowerPoint and so on However over the month's there’s been a huge issue with trying to open word documents from files or iCloud to the word app and every time I do it says there’s unreadable content and I have tried everything to fix it uninstall reinstall check settings looked online and there’s no clear answer from Microsoft and even had the school IT worker to try and fix it but they weren’t able to do anything I never had this issue before but over the year this has been becoming more and more of an issue and I don’t have a computer to do my schoolwork on so either Microsoft actually makes the effort to fix it or else what’s the point in having the word app in the App Store if you can’t even do something as simple as opening documents on it not happy about it at all

Word review

I used to use Word, PowerPoint and Excel extensively on my PC at work. I loved them all and relied upon them for reports, company statistics and presentations of meetings. I got Word, Excel and OneDrive for my iPad and iPhone as parts of the Microsoft 365 suite. I am still learning how to use them and discovering how to access the different formatting options and views etc. I like the Excel program as well and it is a little bit trickier to use on an iPad because you don't have a mouse or control keys but I'm getting there.
It is now a few months after I wrote that, and I must say now that I have discovered more of the capabilities of Word and Excel, and there's not much I can think of that I used to be able to do with the full Microsoft Office suite that I can't do now with the office 365 apps.
I will say that Word and Excel are now apps that I use daily, indeed several times a day, and I would be lost without them.
I think they only cost me under $10 a month which I think is quite reasonable

So good for typing

Have you ever felt the need to type, download this app! It’s so good for typing words! Although it falls apart as soon as you import an images or use a text box, it’s not called “Microsoft Images” or “Microsoft Boxes”. But it makes up for it the wide variety of fonts such as Wingdings 1, Wingdings 2, Comic sans and more! Ever since I discovered the shape function, I’ve been using even more! It literally breaks every half a second so that I can rewrite my whole thing, fun! I have to pay money to use very rudimentary tool? Take my money. I’ve been smiling and laughing every time I open this app! My friends and family said I’ve gone “en-shane” or something, but I don’t care as long I can used it more!

The Microsoft Word App is great but too costly for occasional use.

I like Microsoft Word and have it on my computer. I’d like to utilise it for occasional writing on my iPad. Unfortunately as I’m an elderly pensioner and only need it a few times a year, it doesn’t make sense to pay a monthly subscription and I don’t think it’s fair to sign up and then cancel on a regular basis.
Consequently, I usually end up trying to sit at the computer and as I’m in pain, I’d prefer to use my iPad. Surely there is some way the App can be made available for occasional use at a small fee? It’s annoying to have an unusable App when I’d like to use it sometimes but not enough to warrant a monthly subscription. Does anyone else have this issue?

Not quite like the laptop experience

I love word, and I like to think I’m pretty swifty with it on my laptop. But since switching to using an iPad at uni the Word app has been one of my biggest annoyances.
There has been many times that the app just gets really *slow* all of a sudden and nothing seems to fix it. When i try and use the command shortcuts for copying, pasting, bolding, etc, they take foreverrr to actually do their things and it makes essay writing and especially formatting assignments a very grueling task.
I also wish I could turn off the ‘auto save’ feature and just save my documents like I normally could on my laptop. I need to be able to spam command c and then close the document to really feel safe that I’m not going to lose my work lol.
But the cherry on top that made me come on here and actually write a review was the sad fact I just realised. I can’t change the design theme ☹️ being stuck using the boring heading and text colours that come with the default theme just makes the whole experience nicely wrapped in a bow of ‘ugh’.
I really want to love word, I just hope the extra few miles it needs can be implemented so it can live up to the dream of being a truly great software on *all* platforms 🙂

Garbage app

Awful. Terrible on iOS, bordering on just plain not usable. Formatting is a nightmare, somehow the developers also screwed up highlighting. Deleted a major part of my document and then automatically saved so the change was irreversible and I couldn’t bring it back as if to somehow spite me. Was genuinely so bad to use that I switched to my computer midway through because I genuinely couldn’t finish it without exploding a blood vessel from how horribly designed this dumpster fire of an app is. Good on pc, but I have never hated a mobile app more in my entire life. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Think of every word for bad bordering on incompetence and that’s basically this app. Hate all of it.

Suitable for Computer Use Only; Don’t even this try this on your iPad

I love Word; a perfect app.
I’m writing a story on Word and my computer has been broken for about three days now so I don’t have access to my work on Word on that computer, so I’ve had to find some alternatives.
Then, I saw Word on the App Store and then I was like, “Oh, let’s download this app and use it. It’ll probably be great.”
Fast forward to when I downloaded the app and I was still pretty happy with what I saw; it looked like the standard Word I use my PC.
And then I tapped blank document and was about to begin my story when I was rudely apprehended with a massive message on my screen basically saying I couldn’t use any of the features on Word without signing in.
I was like, “What? Why do I have to sign in? I don’t even have a email…”
I was panicking and panicking; I didn’t know what to do. I’m your average fifth grade kid attempting to write a story who doesn’t have an email.
So if you want everyone to be able to use your app, I believe you should remove the not-being-able-to-use-Word-without-signing-in feature.
And that is all I ask.
Many thanks,
Me

I don’t get the complaints!

Honestly, I see a lot of people complaining about lag or things not working right on their new iPad models.
I myself have written over 100 chapters of my story on this app and I’m using an iPad 5 that I’ve had for five years!
At times there have of course been serious lag issues but as of this year they’ve been completely resolved and while occasionally annoying bugs do surface they are usually solved relatively quickly and yes, while I love the app, there are of course still some bugs and optimisation issues that hinder it from a perfect score in my eyes.

Pretty good just needs some edits

I really like this app, most of the time it’s great, but when you open a document it automatically goes to reading mode and that messes up how your document looks. I like this app but I think it should automatically go to editing mode, or you should be able to change the settings so you can choose which mode it opens to. Otherwise, this app is really good but the layout on phones and iPad versions are more confusing and they should change it to be simple and easy to access different things, e.g., going from home to insert to put in a table/text box, this is hard to find so they should make it more simple for quicker and easier uses. Otherwise really good app. Thanks :)

Force you to autosave to one drive

Word used to be good until the latest update. I’m a Uni student and do a lot of assignments to I like to have my autosave turned on. However in a recent update they decided to change the setting and force you to autosave on Onedrive. if you want your document to be saved on the computer desktop, you have to “make a copy” instead”. And after you make changes to the document, you have to save another copy and delete the old copy because it won’t sync unless you’re using Onedrive. I find this very annoying and ridiculous, wasting my time to save a copy every time. Trust me, if you click and choose location for autosave, it does not let you save to the desktop folder. Microsoft word is getting more and more difficult to use on MacBook.

A near miss

I have used MS Word since version 4.2 ( a long, long time ago) and even the DOS version. There has always been a lot to like.
This version maintains that time honoured tradition of fighting with the user to make some tasks very difficult while at the same time offering some great features.
In this edition (for iPad) it remains stubbornly opposed to letting you edit small mistakes in spelling. Moving the cursor to an exact location at any point in a word (lovely irony) is impossible. I have had to Re type the whole word each time. (More irony😤)
I hope to find a setting somewhere to fix this.
In the meantime my rating must remain at 2 stars, even though I yearn to give it more, so far it remains the very opposite of an efficient Word Processor.

Needs Serious Work

I’ve been using this app on a 2021 Ipad pro, and the lag is horrible. I’ve tried troublshooting by reinstalling the app multiple times, which was the only advice I could find on the microsoft help blog. (I’ve found many people with the exact same issues that I have had with this app seeking advice, and the only advice the help page offered was to try redownloading it, and, it might be the file size!) I have been working on miniscule files through onedrive, and have tried storing them purely on my Ipad and have had the same problems. Sometimes it takes 1-2 seconds for a click to register on the home tab, typing has unworkable lag, letters take 2 seconds to appear on the page. I have never encountered this delay on any other platform. Seems like this app is probably not optimised for the Ipad completely yet, which is a huge shame. Seems like these problems have been going on for years too so I’m losing faith that it will ever get better—very frustrating considering I use word on my MacBook and university computers regularly and sought an iPad for convenience.
Further, the number of command shortcuts available is limited, and the app just generally feels slow and clunky. There is limited integration between the app and useful programs like one note and the app is generally stripped of a lot of great features present in the normal version.
Genuinely considering making the jump to another platform.

Bad for large documents

Word for iPadOS is fine if you are writing and sharing smaller sized documents. If you are working with documents that are in the hundreds of pages, the software become sluggish (even on the new M1 pro) and jittery. Worse, if you use the comments feature, this becomes downright buggy, often taking forever to update. Also, the share feature that defaults to Outlook and is unchangeable is just silly.
So, no problems if you write a page here or there. Definitely not if you are writing manuscripts. Stick to the desktop version.

Would give zero if I could

How about you learn how to give us iPad people actual useful things, like resizing and moving text box’s. Or having a way to add graphs. until you reply promising that these features will be added or made much, ( and by much, I mean much easier) to use. Also when you can randomly actually move and resize a text box, a good idea is to make it so it moves the stuff around even while your holding it, otherwise, you end up having to move it like 20 times before getting it right. Switching to google docs and keeping this at one star until you reply to this telling me this will be fixed, this level of incompetence is unacceptable.

Now I have to pay!

This was such a good app, was able to write my stories all the time, so many things i was able to just do on this app and it was FREE. Now… i have to PAY!
MONTHLY! $10 — 😡
120 bucks a yea!! .And you can’t even have a free version. It’s not like you read my documents or publish them. Such a shame. $10 bucks a month! Why do i have to pay for something that was free. A one time payment. Bam. 15 bucks and I own the app. Or $1 for a document. But every month!!!! For the same things I WRITE! Thanks a lot Microsoft.
Fix this issue or at least make it actually more beneficial like oh, publishing or providing a proof reader. Make a lite version, no access to font types or text size or what ever else you want to restrict. But to not be able to at least write in one document. To do one file. So shameful.
And charge so much for something that isn’t doing anything. Least you get movies on Netflix for their 10 bucks a month. Not like I’m getting free books for this price. Or even a token. Such a shame it forces me to pay to use. 😡

Urgently needs to be updated to the same layout found on PC/Mac

While the aesthetic of the app is nice, I find the dissimilarities between the PC/Mac version to the mobile version not very intuitive. The layout difference will definitely slowdown your workflow as you get familiarise with the app.
A more important matter is how it lacks occasionally. Thankfully a quick fix is just by closing and reopening the app.
If the layout could be made to be more identical to the one of the computers, then this app would have been a perfect companion app.

Just one issue I’d like to be resolved

Word is overall a great app, and has done everything I’ve needed it to do. Unfortunately there is a glitch though, after typing for a while the apps typing is delayed and the only way to fix it is to delete and reinstall it. It’s just really annoying to get right into the zone of writing and then being interrupted by the delay of letters. I haven’t found any other way to fix this problem and would like any suggestions.

Phenomenal Mobile Word Processor

As an Australian solicitor it is almost impossible to do anything outside of Word when dealing with documents that need to be shared with other solicitors. Consistent track changes alone are critical to my work. I was concerned when I first heard that Word would be coming to the iPad, but was delighted that it maintains all of the formatting of a traditional Word file. However, it has now been out for years and lacks serious features from the Mac version of Word. I can’t even adjust paragraph spacing on my brand-new iPad Pro, which is as powerful as most laptops. Microsoft needs to up their game when it comes to the iPad version of the Office suite.

We need Word for Mac

As many others recently, i have adopted my iPad (+ magic keyboard) as my one and only computer; uni, study, everyday use, entertainment. It’s great. All great aside from one thing: Office. I used to love word and excel on my laptop but on the iPad its so unusable. I understand this version of office was intended to be used for quick modifications (like when iPad wasn’t a main device). Office needs to catch up with iPad OS. Excel is unusable for graphing and most of the fantastic functions of the PC/Mac versions, and word has greatly reduced functionality as well. The simple solution is simply bring over the Mac version onto iPad which would be fantastic. I tried using the in-browser port which has the functionality but obviously is unusable as its not an app, and lags a lot.
Please hear our cries and fix office.

MS Word on iPadOs on iPad Pro 4th gen is still really buggy

3 bugs .
1/ word count includes footnotes and main text - and I didn’t discover this until the university plagiarism checking software gave a totally different word count to MS word.
2/ frequent freezes and unable to save documents.
3/ the auto-correct for grammar and spelling is really buggy and inaccurate and slow - frequently makes mistakes on the fly which I later have to manually correct in the document I am working on, e.g. ends and starts new sentences which don’t make sense and which I have to go back and edit . Also, after typing continuously for 30 seconds the auto-correct takes its time on the text and does not show it up on screen immediately, but rather slowly shows text on screen completely about 5-10minutes later in MS Word
I just migrated over to iPad Pro 6 months ago and I previously used windows 10 and MS office on that - there is a huge difference when you compare the quality of products on each OS

Saving and restoring

This app works perfectly if you can get your document done in a day. But saving and restoring options are terrible. I always have auto save on but it doesn't always work, I've lost hours of work on an assignment (I'm a high school student) and I learned my lesson: do not trust auto save.
But clearly this lesson was worthless, I started manually saving (disabling auto save then manual save) then enabling auto save, because it doesn't hurt to be careful. But who would've guessed that even after manually saving multiple times in the same hour, I would lose all my progress after leaving the app for a day. Every save that I MANUALLY saved, did not save. What is the point of saving something if it doesn't even save?
I've checked the history (you can restore previous 'saves' here) but of course my progress wasn't here either. 1 star is harsh but seriously deserved, if the app doesn't save the document when you literally save, then how are people expected to be able to do anything? The only way around this is to create literal copies of the document and save it in a seperate location so you can move it back if this ever happens.
Word works perfectly on PC, but on iOS I would opt to use something such as pages.

No Citations or Bibliography’s

I am a student. Writing assignments and essays is one of the most prominent examination material I get, I use word to type these essays because it is easy and quite reliable. However I use IOS Word, naturally this would be fine but there are somethings that Microsoft Word has that IOS Word does not. The IOS Word lacks the ability to add in citations and a bibliography, this is a very important part of making a good essay. I looked on the help section of Microsoft to see if any other people had this problem and many did. In response to a question about this, a Microsoft manager replied with “With the design of Word for iPad, the option you’re referring to is not yet available. The feature you are inquiring about is really a good idea and would be a great feature to have.”This was from 3 years ago and nothing has been added to IOS Word since. I suggest that you should add options for citations and bibliographies if you want to make a IOS Word a better app that is easier to use for students.

Consistent incompatibilities with iPad Keyboard

I purchased the new iPad Air 4, with keyboard folio, in order to take notes for my studies and have it synced with my iMac. This has not been as successful as I assumed it would be. The software regularly begins to lag, with typing delayed by seconds, sometimes each letter takes up to 3 seconds to appear. This is extremely inconvenient when taking notes, and typing out essays. This delay is not an issue on any other platform, even as I am typing now there is no issue, but when I return to Microsoft Word it is delayed.
After searching the internet to find solutions, of which I could find zero responses from Microsoft, the issue appears to have been ongoing for more than 5 years. Other user’s have suggested to “Reset Word” which clears all documents on the device. This works for a time, but the delay always returns. It is also not a viable solution, as to reset requires confirming that my documents have saved onto OneDrive, which requires me to check that I can access the documents on my iMac. When I am not at home, this is a risky choice to make, but it is almost impossible to type with the delay.
The Microsoft package is expensive, and this issue is not a small one. I would like this issue escalated. It appears many have tried, and failed, resorting to typing in the Apple notes app and later pasting and editing in Word. This is time consuming and not an effective resolution.

Word is good but connectivity can be tricky

I love the option of using Word on my iPad. However, two issues came up:
1. If I want to submit an assignment to TAFE New South Wales, Australia I found I had to copy the file to my iPad internal directory from OneDrive in order to submit the document (not so on iCloud).
2. I have a TAFE OneDrive account and my own OneDrive account. When I went from one OneDrive to the other OneDrive while editing the document there were really frustrating ownership issues for that were difficult to resolve. Office needs to detect this and give an option to transfer ownership using the usernames and passwords from the two accounts.

I have been using Word for as long as I can remember. Now on my new ipad I can open it, but not use it the way I used to. It asks me to ‘sign in’ but will not accept any of the information I give it. It says my email address is already in use by someone else, but that someone else is me. The same goes for my phone number. Originally I bought the CD for my laptop and I am not going to pay for something else after a free month’s trial. I will use Pages from now on.

MS Word is pretty much the benchmark in word processing and although I respect the efforts of the developers of free alternative apps with the exception of Apple's Pages app none work across platforms.
With a Microsoft account I get a free email address and the ability to sync and store all my documents across all my devices.

Cannot Open Documents From Email Attachments

While using my iPhone I used to be able to click on an email attachment in word format and have the option to open the document in the word app. I found this useful as the viewer in the email app itself on the iPhone changes the formatting of a document. However, this option is no longer available, and I have to save the document to my iPhone and then switch to the word app and search through my files to find it. I don’t know if the reason I no longer have the option to open the document directly into the word app is related to an update on the iPhone or an update of this app, but I would love to have that function again.

Constantly crashes

With the constant crashes, productivity is compromised. Using the Apple Pencil to draw is extremely laggy, switching between colours is not instant and requires a 10 second wait. After, when trying to scroll through to read through the document, pages with ink do not load, it takes over a minute to load if it does but this is not always the case. The only way to resolve is to exit the app and reopen, and wait a minute per inked page. When adding comments, the app crashes every second comment while writing. Consequently what was written is lost. As long as you’re not using the draw function or comments function, the app works.
Would be good to see an additional function to change page colour.
However, because of how infuriating to use a crashing app, I can’t use this app until this is fixed otherwise, it will compromise time efficiency. What takes 30 minutes now takes 2 hours.

Issue while editing documents

I use Microsoft word all the time with my assignments and homework tasks but recently I’ve noticed a problem with the screen or something. I don’t know how it happens but sometimes when I’m typing I’ll do something and a page overlay from the document I’m editing will show up in the corner, half off the screen and slightly translucent. I’ll scroll up and down the document but the page in the corner doesn’t disappear. Quite a few of my friends and classmates have also run into this while working and it can get really annoying. Other than that this is a great app and I would definitely recommend it.

Needs better mouse support

This version of word is really good. So far my experience has been seamless going from pc to iPad Pro. The only issue i have is that with the all new mouse support that the iPad Pro now offers there are some issues that Microsoft needs to iron out. There are often times where i am trying to highlight a particular word or going back to a certain point in a sentence that needs to be edited where the bar will show up 4 or 5 lines above where I’ve clicked, forcing me to use the touch screen. I know this may not be a big deal but when going through paper work it does break up momentum and I’m sure that anyone who uses Word on the iPad would find the mouse more intuitive than touch screen if Microsoft would review and refine their mouse support. Will give 5 stars once this is fixed.

Needs an option for an unsimplified ribbon

I own a 12.9 inch IPad Pro and as powerful as this device is, it feels so limited by the lack of full featured functionality that I would be able to find on a less powerful Windows device. Basic additions such as being able to create a table of contents, better shortcut support (for changing font size etc.) and an unsimplified ribbon would go a long way to making this program feel a lot more powerful. Some times I’ll have to switch to Word Online (which btw has all of those features but is a little bit buggy) or back to my laptop which is overall a bit of a hassle and seems quite unnecessary for the potential that this app has.

I recommend using a computer like most people do I just couldn’t be bothered. Now to add to this, I even tried 4 different accounts and I also even tried another persons account that uses the app almost 24/7 and even that told me my password was still wrong, now unless I’m blind or just plain stupid, this app is COMPLETELY useless for me as I cannot even save or send anything unless my sign in works!!

Word has lost relevance in my workflow

As a writer I use word on my ten inch iPad 2018 sometimes as a scratchpad. The functionality of word is not up to the same standard and usability of the writing apps that I use. These are Scrivener and Storyist 4 for large manuscripts. Notability for script to text and general note taking. I have used word for over twenty years in my professional life. It’s now lost relevance for my work flow. I rarely use it. Microsoft used to be the standard to meet. Now it’s the standard that is fading into a memory. The cost to benefit ratio of a Microsoft subscription does not work for me. The fact that I would have to pay to use word on an iPad Pro means that word is moving quickly into obscurity and irrelevance. Bit sad to see it go, it used to be essential to me. The alternatives now much better suit my needs.

Not offline friendly

I have tried to use word repeatedly in network limited or constrained environments. I have repeatedly hit the following types of issues
. On a plane, open word to use it and it says you are not signed in to an account so cannot edit in word. I was signed in and using word, but it has now decided that it won’t honor the last sign in and work as advertised. This removed by ability to work on a 15 hour flight.
. In a hotel with very por wifi, word continually hangs and stutters because it is obviously trying to use the internet when the network is poor
I have lots of other similar examples. The developers need to rethink the connectivity requirements of word if the product is to be rated as any good

Impossible to Cancel

I used this relatively successfully for a number of months on my iPad and phone (nowhere near as useful as on a computer). For the past few months, now I don’t need it, I have tried unsuccessfully to cancel it each time I am billed. Because of the difficulty of the subscription cancellation process, I give up, intending to do it later. Invariably, I forget to and am billed a month later. Finally, tonight, I am too poor to be able to afford any more bills. However, despite at least 40min of trying, I am still yet to cancel the subscription. I am clearly doing something wrong, but I am not techno-illiterate. It isn’t my idiocy preventing me from cancelling, its Microsoft’s barriers. Think long and hard before subscribing, because you will likely never be able to cancel your subscription.

It’s just a link to a page in a chat where a previous customer five years ago details how to take out an Elevated job ticket which might eventually get attended to by a human. But get this. In order to take out said Elevated job ticket and get in the queue, the only way to do this is to take out a SECOND Microsoft 365 account in order to triage the first one that I can’t get into. What, then I end up with TWO accounts in which my credit card is trapped somewhere?! Furious about this.

This app...

Okay, okay. I’ve used this app many times, but they were on the computer. Let’s see... I got an iPad and that’s where all the problems started. I don’t know why, but when I’m on a shared document and someone else is using it at the same time, it creates conflicts. Then the other person has to delete another persons work so they can continue with their own. Another problem is: when I’m using text boxes to label a picture, I exit out, maybe come back to it in a day or two, and the image has completely covered the writing. And then I can’t move the picture for some reason, so I have to delete the image and the writing, and do it all over again. This is really annoying, especially when I’ve written a big block of text. Sometimes when I’m using this app, I type stuff, it deletes it, I type it again, but the original word that I wrote is still there. I can tell in the auto correct. Sometimes it ‘corrects’ the word even though I’ve typed it right. This happens normally when I type ‘money.’ There are a lot of problems with this app on iPads, so please fix it as soon as you can. Thank you.

Text to word functionality

The app can be brilliant and great at some times but at others it can be hard to use and create documents. Sometimes the orientation of text and graphs are mixed and out of order when move documents. Also when you start a new document sometimes it can not work and fails to be able to type anything however this is a very rare occurrence. I like how it’s integrated to be able to function with computers and makes work documents so much easier. Keep up the good work Microsoft.

No longer free

It seems this app can no longer be used for anything without forking out for an Office 365 subscription. Disgusting move, Microsoft. I would be fine paying a fair purchase (read: one-off) price for the app to have the convenience of being able to switch between iPad and laptop, but I don’t want or need Office 365. I already paid to own a copy of the Microsoft Word program on my laptop and now you want me to pay a yearly fee to get something I already own just so I can also work on my iPad. Greedy, greedy, greedy. Won’t be buying any Microsoft programs or products in the future.

Poor performance

Word for iPad is cumbersome and difficult to edit. It takes me 2-3 times as long to do simple things like editing because the cursor doesn’t easily work in this format compared to having a mouse. Also because Microsoft and Apple don’t play well together, be sure you know where you’ve stored things as you can loose them. Microsoft will want you to save to their cloud, Apple to theirs and if you have no internet, the documents must be stored locally on the tablet. There is also poor integration with using the pencil. Compared to .pdf marking up capability word is clunky and demands a keyboard and mouse to work optimally. Go back to the drawing board Microsoft! 😖
