Microsoft has launched a new all-in-one app -- called Microsoft Office app -- for the users of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This app is right now available on Googles Play Store only for Android users. As per a report by Android Police, this Microsoft Office app came under testing in early 2019 and in November reached public review. With this app, the report notes, that Microsoft is taking an approach that is opposite of that of Google. Google initially had a common app Google Drive for viewing and editing docs but the company later launched multiple apps, giving users the choice to install the only apps they need.

Users will be able to work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations using this single app. It comes with templates for documents like resume, budget and even presentations. Created documents will be stored in users personal cloud storage, on your device, or across the organisation (if using a work account).Additional features of the Microsoft Office app include the ability to click a picture of a document and turn it into an editable Word file and same for a table to turn it into an Excel spreadsheet. It also gives its users the option to share files to nearby devices as well as scan QR codes to open links.The app will require users to login in the app with Microsoft Account (for OneDrive or SharePoint) or by connecting to a third-party cloud storage provider. Those who log in with a personal, work, or school Microsoft Account, which is connected to an Office 365 subscription, will unlock premium features within the app, as per Microsoft.
