Recently we wrote about the appearance in Google Play preview versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint for Android-tablets. Today, all three applications were made available officially – beta is finished! During beta testing the application has been tested on 3000 versions of 500 different Android-devices. According to representatives of Microsoft, preview versions of Microsoft Office for Android tablets already downloaded over 250 000 times. As of today, Word for Android tablets, PowerPoint for Android tablets and Excel for Android tablets will be available in the Google Play store as free downloads.

Recall that all three applications do not differ from the versions for the iPad and requires Android 4.4 KitKat (official support for Android 5.0 Lollipop not yet – waiting for update!) and the availability ARM-based processor in the device (Intel support also promise to add). If the screen of your tablet no more than 10 inches, create and edit documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint you can free. Additional functions are available after subscription to Office 365 cloud service. On tablets with wide screen – for example Samsung Galaxy Tab S – subscription will need to perform any operations.
