If I could give a big fat ZERO I would. The app won't even open. I updated the app and still can't open it. It keeps saying 'configuring word' 'fetching files'. I have closed the app several times. This has been doing this for a few hours now. Its so frustrating as I need to get an important document for a job application. But because I cannot retrieve it I can not apply for the job. Thanks a lot to whoever is behind this app!

I would give this zero stars if possible - I don't know why Outlook Lite was replaced with this. It only works for sometimes: if I have managed to log in - half the time I can't even do this - the app will load the inbox and maybe I can open one email before it stops freezes. I have left the app open for up to an hour - in the meantime, it doesn't update the inbox and emails won't open. I can see emails in the inbox and Junk but what's the point if these can't be actioned?

I have been using the desktop version of Word since at least 1993, so it’s great to be able to use it on my phone now. Certainly when I had Windows phones the transfer from desktop to the mobile app was seamless; and it seems to be the same now that it is on the Android platform, with the same basic document editing functionality. There's no mail-merge, but all the essentials are there, plus: headers, footers, footnotes; tracking, reviewing; columns, page and section breaks; pictures. Great!
