You can download the latest versions here: Apple gives away it’s own versions of the Office apps for free for Macs, iPads and iPhones.Īpple’s office suite includes Pages (word processing), Numbers (spreadsheets), and Keynote (presentations). You don’t have to use the Office apps at all. Similarly, if you had paid for a year up front and made a claim for a refund the app would lose its full functionality. If you are paying monthly you can choose to continue using the apps for the rest of the month for which you have paid, or you can claim the refund and lose the apps’ editing abilities. If you cancel within 30-days of your last payment you will be entitled to a refund.

Some people may feel uncomfortable about essentially renting the software. The issue isn’t necessarily the fact that people are required to pay to use the apps, but rather the fact that Microsoft moved to a subscription model a few years ago. If you use Word, Excel, PowerPoint or Outlook for commercial purposes then you need to subscribe. Microsoft requires that you have an Office 365 subscription if you are using the apps for work. This is because Microsoft presumes that if you are using a device with a screen bigger than 10.1 inches you are using it for professional purposes.
