Yes, you read that correctly. One of the apps I initially downloaded and recommended was 'Microsoft Office Mobile.' Well, today, I gave in to Microsoft's nagging and uninstalled the particular app in question.
In its place, I downloaded the four individual mobile components that are found in the Home and Student version of Microsoft Office 2010. That consists of Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft OneNote. Microsoft Outlook and a couple of other apps were also displayed on the Google Play Store, but I decided to opt out of these because I already use GMail, and since I am not an Enterprise customer, I don't have any need for Outlook, Lync, SharePoint, or Remote Desktop Connection.
All in all, the individual apps feel like an improvement. As of this writing, I just tried the PowerPoint app to make sure I would not be disappointed, and so far, I like it better than the desktop version of Office 2013. This is probably because Office 2013, along with Windows 8, was designed with touch enabled mobile devices in mind, because I tried it on Windows 7 back when I was taking classes at Sinclair, and I felt that the software was somewhat horrible.
Yes, it's not very practical to create a project on a four-inch screen, however, since I only have one computer with Microsoft Office, it will be nice to have more than one device that I can create, edit and view documents on.
