From PC World: On Thursday, Microsoft released a new version of Office for iOS that unifies the user experience across all devices—great and small—and opens the door to free editing and content creation, whether you have an Office 365 account or not. This new Microsoft Office for iOS suite includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Previously, there were two versions of Office for iOS devices: The nearly useless Office Mobile for iPhone and the amazing and nearly perfect Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for iPad. Thursday's release unifies the Office user experience across all iOS devices capable of running iOS 7 or newer and introduces a preview version of the Office apps for Android tablets.
While Office Mobile for iPhone lacked every feature necessary to make it useful on your iPhone, Microsoft’s camp insists that the new versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are built on the same codebase as the excellent Office for iPad suite of apps, but each is optimized for the device you're working on. So the editing experience helps you focus on your content rather than figuring out how to work around interface elements. Each app, whether it appears on your iPad Air or your iPhone 6, offers the same set of features with a slightly different user interface, optimizing the document editing and creation process so that formatting tools and other features stay out of your way until you need them for formatting changes.
