Last Updated on February 24, 2025

Wondering what apps to install?

In this article, I will show you the best Microsoft Office mobile apps to download and install.

Let’s get started.

Core Applications

As you know, mobile apps have a range of powerful tools that were designed for productivity on the go.

Maybe not as powerful as their desktop counterparts, but they can still help you finish some tasks while on the road.

Here are the core apps that I suggest you install:

1. Microsoft 365 Copilot

If you’re already familiar with Copilot (an AI-powered assistant), there’s actually a mobile app version of it.

It can help you create and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly from your mobile device.

With Copilot, you can:

• Generate content
• Summarize information
• Share and co-author files in real-time
• Manage your emails and calendar

Copilot integrates smoothly with other Microsoft 365 apps, which allows you to switch between tasks quite easily.

It also has an intuitive interface, and there are regular updates that bring in new features and improvements.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

2. Microsoft Word

Microsoft Word’s mobile app brings the power of word processing to your fingertips.

Using this app, you can create, edit, and share documents directly from your mobile device.

With this, you can:

• Apply styles and formatting to documents
• Collaborate in real-time
• Access documents anywhere
• Use text predictions

What’s even nicer is that the app supports various file formats so there’s still compatibility with desktop versions.

Since we’re talking about an app here, it has a user-friendly interface that’s optimized for touch navigation.

Anyway, there would be no need to go home or access your desktop for a quick draft or check on a detailed report.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

3. Microsoft Excel

Excel’s mobile app will allow you to create, view, and edit workbooks anytime and anywhere.

The app also supports rich formatting options so you can customize cell styles and layouts to suit your needs.

With it, you can:

• Input and organize data
• Perform complex calculations
• Create and edit charts
• Collaborate in real-time

Even if we’re talking about spreadsheets here, the touch-friendly interface steps up to make even data manipulation easy.

You can use this app to track expenses, analyze data, or even manage projects even if you don’t have your desktop.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

4. Microsoft PowerPoint

With PowerPoint’s mobile app, you can create, edit, and present slideshows from anywhere.

Similar to Word, this app can support different file formats so compatibility with desktop versions won’t be an issue.

With this, you can:

• Create slides with rich formatting and images
• Collaborate in real-time
• Access files anywhere
• Deliver presentations without a laptop
• Use a variety of pre-designed templates

This is a nice app to have especially when you’re preparing a business proposal or a school project and you’re traveling.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

Utility Applications

Obviously, the need for Microsoft apps goes beyond just document creation.

The following apps have varied purposes, from communication down to security (you might already be familiar with them).

5. Microsoft OneNote

You’re probably already familiar with OneNote, so its mobile app can be your digital notebook on the go.

True to its purpose, it lets you capture and organize notes across all your devices.

You can use it to:

• Create diverse notes
• Access your notes anywhere
• Collaborate in real-time
• Use sections and tags
• Use powerful search capabilities

The app supports rich media, which allows you to insert images, audio recordings, and files into your notes.

You can use OneNote’s app to jot down ideas, organize class notes, or collaborate on a project with just your phone.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

6. Microsoft Outlook

Outlook’s mobile app is a comprehensive tool for managing your email, calendar, and contacts on the go.

The app supports various email services, including Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail.

It can help you:

• Manage multiple accounts
• Sync calendars and contacts
• Collaborate with integrated Office apps
• Use copilot for dynamic themes and email summarization

It has a user-friendly interface that offers customizable swipe gestures and quick access to your most-used features.

Recent updates have introduced a minimize button, which allows you to switch between draft emails and other tasks easily.

That means no need to race down to your desktop to coordinate meetings, reply to emails, and manage your agenda.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

7. Microsoft Teams

If you’re not familiar with Teams, it’s a robust platform for collaboration and communication and keeps teams connected.

It has a comprehensive suite of features that can improve productivity on the go.

You can use it to:

• Participate in chats and channels
• Attend audio or video conferences with a tap
• Share files instantly
• Set quiet hours to maintain work-life balance
• Integrate with other apps

The app’s interface will allow you to easily navigate, technically being able to switch between chats and meetings easily.

There are also new updates being introduced, like threaded conversations and combined chats and channels.

This is a nice app to have to coordinate projects, attend virtual meetings, and share documents, all while on the go.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

8. Microsoft Edge

Some of you might already be using this as this browser is known to give a fast browsing experience.

But what’s nice here is that it integrates seamlessly with your Microsoft account and syncs with various devices.

You can use it to:

• Sync bookmarks, history, and settings across devices
• Browse securely
• Use AI-powered features like Copilot
• Save files to OneDrive

In addition, the app supports various extensions, which then improve the functionality to suit your needs.

You can use Edge to research, shop, or simply stay connected.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

Bonus: Microsoft Authenticator

I wanted to mention this bonus app, this free tool that you can help improve your account security.

It supports multi-factor authentication and passwordless sign-ins for both Microsoft and non-Microsoft accounts.

Besides those two, it can:

• Auto-fill passwords
• Generate one-time passwords
• Backup and sync accounts

There are also new updates introduced, like number matching and additional context for sign-in requests.

Available on both Google Play and Apple App Store.
