OUR OPINION ABOUT MICROSOFT EXCEL FOR IPAD:
As with the WORD app, its interface has surprised us quite a bit. Very polished, intuitive and easy to use.
With a few screen touches you can start creating a spreadsheet or edit and modify one already created.
We loved it but, like WORD , it has a BIG CON and this is nothing more than the obligation to pay for using it, thing that we don't understand at this point and when there are applications, in the APP STORE, of the same category, and totally free or at a very low cost.
Therefore, Excel for iPad is a free app with which we can only view and present documents for free. If what you want is to edit, create documents from the iPad you will have to pay a subscription to Office 365, with fees ranging from €99 per year (or 10€ per month) for the premium home version. If you are a university student, you can take advantage of the four-year offer for . For companies there are also plans adapted for them.
If you are an EXCEL user, we recommend it.
Also available for iPhone.
