Its applications Microsoft Office for cell phones phone, have been available separately for a long time. The users until now, they had to download and install Word, Excel and PowerPoint separately, from the google Play Store and the App Store Apple.
While for some this was the right approach since they didn't want the full Microsoft Office suite, but only a specific application such as Word or Excel, others found the idea of separate applications rather annoying because they had to download, installation and update to more than one application.
Microsoft obviously measured both opinions and recently posted an update to the Google Play Store Microsoft Office that includes all the applications that were offered in the past separately.
Η Microsoft Office application is offered αυτήν τη στιγμή μόνο σε χρήστες Android, αλλά λογικά η Microsoft θα την φέρει στις επόμενες εβδομάδες και στο iPhone. Δεν υπάρχει κάποια επίσημη ανακοίνωση σχετικά με την νέα ενοποιημένη Office εφαρμογή, αλλά η καταχώριση του Google Play Store υπογραμμίζει τον σκοπό της ύπαρξής της.
From a technical point of view, a Microsoft Office application that combines all the productivity tools that have been offered separately so far is also useful in Microsoft partnerships with various device manufacturers.
For example, Samsung pre-installs Microsoft Office applications on Galaxy S models and offers Word, Excel and PowerPoint separately. An application that combines everything could make everything simpler for everyone, so it remains to be seen when and if this approach will be extended to other platforms.
Respectively, Xiaomi uses the KingSoft suite, which contains all the individual programs in a single application.
The old, separate applications of Word, Excel, etc. are still available in the Google Play Store, for those who do not agree with the new move companys. But we don't know what will happen or if they will be supported in the future.
