About a month after launching previews of its Office apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) for Android smartphones, Microsoft today announced the general availability of the apps via Google Play. Previously, Word, Excel and PowerPoint were available only to Android tablets, but now everyone with a smartphone running Android 4.4 or later can download and use them.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Android are all free to download (see the source links at the end of this article), and come with in-app purchases – for those who need more advanced Microsoft Office features on their smartphone.
