The downsides to the Microsoft mobile apps include the inability to edit without an Office 365 subscription. The mobile apps themselves will take up some space on your mobile device, but the documents won’t, so you don’t have to worry about overloading your phone or tablet with documents and spreadsheets. You can download as many or as few of the programs you want, and access or share them anywhere thanks to cloud-based sharing and saving. Microsoft Office mobile apps are free to download and give you access to basically all of the Suite’s programs, though the particular programs available to you are slightly different between Android and iOS, and between iPhone and iPad (though all give you Word, Excel and PowerPoint). Devices can all access the same documents on the same account at different times, so you can work from basically anywhere using the Office Suite - and you can do it for free if you download the mobile apps. You can get Microsoft Office on basically any device these days - desktop computers, laptops, tablets and even phones.
