I did enjoy using this app for a while, but lately, there's been a few issues. Every time I try to use the Times New Roman font, I get something called "Shruti," and after comparing it, I noticed it's different font, and not just a glitch with the naming. The line spacing is also not working. I have it set to 1.0, but it still comes out as 1.5. would be better if not for the formatting issues.

I love having this app at my fingertips. I needed to update a resume that was in print form, and it needed to be edited, too. Computers that had it on file were long gone. I had a choice to make; either retype it all or upload my hard copy and edit it in Word. I chose the latter. Sure, I had to scan it first and upload the document to my computer as a pdf. There are a lot of steps for getting behind. Well, I had not needed Word for a long time! It really is a great writing tool.

My student account isn't working on the app, I'm unable to open or edit any documents through it even though I can do so perfectly fine on my laptop. The subscription status hasn't changed but now it keep telling me I need to get a 365 account. Zero reason for me to use it at this, there are plenty of other ways to view documents and it's lost all other functionality, but I'm still kinda pissed since I was in the middle of working on assignments when this happened.

I couldn't even "sign up". The app claimed I was offline, which wasn't so. I had several tabs open, connected to the web. I did a search for ABC; ABC News came up; I connected with their website and saw today's headlines. So I bypassed signup; worked offline. But Microsoft Word limited what I could do. The controls weren't consistently responsive. Sometimes they worked, sometimes not. The cursor jumped around randomly; then the edit feature stopped working because I wasn't signed in. Sux.

For the most part the app worked decently except for the cursor jumping around and jumpling words which was annoying enough but within the last month or so I've had frequent issues with the app crashing suddenly and anything I had just been typing is gone. the last couple of days it has been crashing every few minutes making using it an absolute nightmare. Hurry up and fix your app or I'm finding an alternative. This is not acceptable.

Copilot seems to have taken Word out completely. It had many minor but workable annoyances before, such as forgetting chunks of text between mobile and PC or deleting parts of what had been written for no apparently reason, which could not be undone. Ever since they added the AI assistant, it's buggier and crashes every other sentence. My phone recommends disabling the app entirely to improve function. It's that bad. Certainly not worth a subscription, much less one this expensive.

Its a decent app, but no much more use than a note writer other than the fact you can save your document in the widely used format of .docx. My main gripe with it is that when you go back to edit, it can randomly delete words, partially delete words and amalgamate them with another, or add an extra letter onto the beginning of words. It's incredibly frustrating when the action of editing a document on a phone is already a fairly laborious task. Also now randomly closes and crashes all the time

usually my go-to word processor, but it's been so garbage lately. other reviews mentioned how it can sometimes merge words and jump the cursor to a completely different section of the doc while writing, and it's extremely annoying. now it's crashing constantly, and the auto-save isn't consistent enough to catch everything. very frustrating trying to do anything when I have to save just about every sentence or risk losing what I've written.

This app is too busy!! So busy that all the pop-up windows get in the way of productivity. And there are no ways to turn them off. Not only that, but a very annoying microphone sits in the bottom right which gets shifted up when you call your keyboard for you and then you cannot see what you're writing every time your cursor reaches the end of a line. Very unprofessional of you ask me

It opens documents and the read aloud works and that's about the extent of the positives. I have to uninstall and reinstall it every couple of days to get it to do what it's supposed to in terms of like editing and changing the background and basically anything else and eventually if I don't, it will lose the read aloud function, too. Very disappointed.
