The Best Office Apps for iOS and Android




When it comes to working on your smartphone, this will likely ultimately come down to using office software. If your business requires custom software then you will be unlikely to be able to find this specifically for your device but if what you need to do is update a spreadsheet or edit a Word document then there are lots of options. And if you have a Bluetooth keyboard, you can actually get very productive with this software!

Read on and we’ll look at the best office software available for iOS and Android that you can start using to get more done.

Office365

Relatively recently, Microsoft finally unveiled a mobile version of their full suite of office apps. That means you can now use Word, Excel and Powerpoint wherever you are. This is exciting news for a lot of people and businesses but note that you will need an Office365 subscription in order to make use of these apps.

Google Drive

If you don’t have a subscription then the next best option may actually be an app that doesn’t market itself as an office app at all. Google Drive is first and foremost a cloud storage option but what makes it interesting is the fact that it also offers office software in the form of Google Docs. Again you can create and edit Word files, spreadsheets and more and more and all those changes will be reflected live online for those back in the office.

Multiscreen Multitasking THD

A limitation of most mobile devices is the lack of split screen option. This means that if you need to write something while looking at a website as a resource, you don’t have any option other than to keep flicking back and forth between the browser and word processor apps.
Multiscreen Multitasking THD solves this pain point by giving you multiple ‘mini apps’ built into a single environment that can be resized and dragged around the screen. Thus you can write while looking at a website. Unfortunately this is only available for Android.

Kingsoft Office, Documents To Go

If you’re looking for a free alternative to Office365, then either of these two options will do the trick. Both offer a full range of options and even more than the mobile version of MSOffice. Kingsoft has the slight edge in terms of usability but with either of these there’s no need to shell out for anything expensive.
