          That's for the individual products (Word, Excel and Powerpoint) released today.

          This 'deal' seems to be for the Office for iOS which is really a front-end for Microsoft Live online documents.

          So you don't need a subscription to create or edit, but it's a very cut down feature-set compared to full versions of Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

        • Stevesie76 on 28/03/2014 - 09:36

          Ignore me, was looking at Word, not office, as link deal link was't working.

  • Innamura on 28/03/2014 - 09:25

    I can confirm that to create, save and edit it's free if you sign on with an outlook or hotmail account. The file gets saved (uploaded) to your account's Onedrive cloud space. Thanks OP, been waiting for this.

  • MasterNoob on 28/03/2014 - 09:35

    I thought Microsoft Office Mobile on iOS phones has always been free?

    • roughana on 28/03/2014 - 10:07

      Yes, the app has been free, but not to use it.

      • MasterNoob on 28/03/2014 - 10:09

          He probably means it was free to view docs, but not to edit them or create new ones.

        • roughana on 28/03/2014 - 10:24

          The app is free, but if you can't log into it, then you can't use it.

    Didn't realise you could buy Office 365 subscriptions as an IAP, considering iTunes cards are almost always 20-50% off this looks like a cheaper way of buying if you haven't already.

  • casmxl on 28/03/2014 - 10:52

    Tried the android version
    It just got very basic function and can't edit .doc (.docx only), good as a doc viewer thought.
    And because it can't insert/take photo, i will keep on using OneNote to take notes

  • superforever on 28/03/2014 - 11:01

    The one posted here doesn't look the same they announced today. This one seem is designed for iPad.

    • parcus on 28/03/2014 - 11:18

      They are different, this is just the mobile version which has been out for a while and imo is borderline useless. Only thing that's changed on it is that it's now free to read/create/edit. In terms of new software, the 3 iPad apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) are what came out today, they require an Office 365 sub to create/edit but you can read documents for free.

  • dwhes on 28/03/2014 - 11:54

    Think the description needs to be updated a bit. It leads people to think that the new office for iPad apps that came out today can edit documents for personal use. They can't. Only the iPhone apps that came out a couple of months ago can. The new iPad apps require a 365 subscription for personal or business editing.

    • roughana on 28/03/2014 - 12:41

      An Office 365 subscription is required to be able to edit documents on an iPad

    • PlasmaCatcher on 28/03/2014 - 13:19

      Typical Microsoft BS, 2 versions of the same software (iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad versions, no universal app), difficult to understand use conditions, annual subscription license so you do not even own the software/license anymore (iPhone/iPod Touch free to edit, iPad free to read only).

      I am sticking with Google Docs and LibreOffice.

  • DEvok on 28/03/2014 - 14:45

    Is it really that hard to Microsoft to port the complete office to iPad?

    • nothommus on 28/03/2014 - 15:16

      Its not a matter of just how hard it would be, it comes down to business choices. Why support a device a competitior produces? I bet a lot of people were swayed to buy surfaces and other windows tablets because they wanted office….

      • Lord Fart Bucket on 28/03/2014 - 17:59

        I disagree there. If lots were swayed, surface wouldn't have died like it did - slow and painful.
        Like Zune. MS should stick with software and the odd mouse/keyboard.

        • Lord Fart Bucket on 28/03/2014 - 19:45

          Can't edit it anymore since someone voted.
          But

          Why support a decide a competitor produces

          Office for mac has been out for years. They failed in the tablet market. I am happy they acknowledged it by releasing this.

        • nothommus on 29/03/2014 - 00:21

          lol, surface didnt die.

        Also, now that people can buy an Office 365 subscription through the app, Apple gets a 30% cut of that revenue out of Microsoft's pockets.

        That coupled with the fact that iTunes cards are regularly discounted means that buying that subscription via in app purchase makes it a lot cheaper than paying MS directly.

        • PlasmaCatcher on 31/03/2014 - 12:35

          Apple's 30% cut of subscriptions purchased in-app would be similar to what a distributor/retailer would get for selling boxed Office software/download key anyway for Microsoft. No big loss for Microsoft there. The distributor/retailer/merchant/foreign currency fee is already factored into the final price.

      The complete office was basically ported to iOS and was released today. Not sure if it's up on the aus store or not yet however it requires an office 365 annual subscription to edit docs. Pretty annoying.

    • roughana on 28/03/2014 - 16:53

      and give away 30% of their revenue to Apple…

      My thoughts exactly.

      I'll stick with my free office apps that Apple gave me that enable me to freely edit free of charge.

      Did I mention they were free?

          Only for iOS 7 devices purchased after the announcement, apparently.

          EDIT: punches self in the face for missing the joke.

    Microsoft Office Mobile on iPad is useless with zoom x2 option.
