Microsoft Office for iPad is now available in the App Store

After months of rumors and speculation, Microsoft Office for iPad got officially released. The productivity suite is available in the App Store as three separate apps – Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

As initially expected, editing documents on an Apple iPad with the new app will require Microsoft Office 365 subscription. Users with no subscription will only be able to view documents via the productivity suite.

Redmond’s productivity suite will be facing strong competition in the App Store. Apple’s own Pages, as well as Google Drive are available on the platform free of charge.
