    Would not download completely. I got it for work and personal use, but it keeps telling me not completely downloaded. I don't know what to do at this point, feel like I wasted my money because I'm loosing my time to use it since it's not working.

    Standard faire here. Word, Excel, etc. Microsoft found another cash cow with the subscription business model. Get the customer to pay year after year. Too many other office productivity suites out there that do so much more for much less $$$.

    I purchased a printer and Microsoft office 365 was included for free. Then after I installed the software a few months later I was charged $69.99 and there's no way to cancel it and it renews every year. I'm very disappointed and frustrated about not being able to get my money back because I don't want this product and you can't cancel, so don't accept free offers because there's a price to pay!

    However I don't too much care for best buys 14 day policy. I purchased and realized I didn't need it. (My school offers it for free) I was not able.to return it. Even though it was unused and in perfect condition (unscratched) on the 15th day.

    MS Office on the Cloud

    Office 365 Personal – 1 Person – 12 Month Subscription – Auto Renew - Android|Mac|Windows|iOS is a cloud-based/download MS Office for PCs, Macs, iOS, and Android. Office 365 attempts to simplify the cross-platform access for their popular Office Suite. The download and installation is simple and easier than other versions of the product. It is powerful enough for most users yet lacking the more advanced features of Access. Mirroring Office 2016, this version feels a bit more clunky to me as it is driven by online access rather than the smoother operation of a hardcopy installed on the hard-drive. PROS - Widely universal applications - Easy installation and setup - Applications are effective for most users - Always up to date - Low overall cost, with annual fee CONS - Cloud-based is clunkier than a clean copy of 2016 - Annual fee required - cannot own it outright like previous editions

    They invent a lot of new stuff and expect you to automatically know how to use it. Explanations of how to are non existant and when you phone in for help, Microsoft techs want cash up front prior to an answer. Everyone is out for a buck!

    I was not aware that this was an annual subscription and would not have purchased it, if I'd read the fine print. Outlook 2013 is not a great product and that's predominantly what my father-in-law uses.

    I don’t understand how come Microsoft cannnot come up with an affordable version that doesn’t need to be bought every year. Once loaded I should not need a yearly subscription. How much money does Microsoft need.

    Definitely not used to web based access only on Windows10. Cumbersome and after syncing and importing .pst file and finally getting going, lost all information. Signed off and when I logged back in later, no email and all was gone.

    I don't need the " latest and greatest" version of Office, just a good basic set of word processing/Excel programs. This was not a good value for me.

    Horrible experience so far. I received an in valid product key & after 3hours + & 2phone calls & getting dropped, I still do not have a replacement! I pretty much have to plan for a 2hr window when I attempt to call, which isn’t easy. I still have no resolution w/ my purchase on March 13th. I know the Office 365 is great, I’d like to Just be able to use it. On two separate calls it was confirmed in my Microsoft account that it is not in my history. I’m about to return my new Mac & all accessories & shop anywhere else. I’m beyond frustrated!

    I generally like, and definitely need, the Office products. But I much preferred them when there was no ongoing cost. The monthly charge reminds me of a bad Polish joke. I got the subscription only because I sort of had to.
