Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the ease of use, price, and the inclusion of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in Office Home & Student 2019. Many appreciate the software's performance and straightforward installation process. While some users wish for Outlook to be included and for the product to offer ongoing updates, the overall feedback highlights its value for its core applications. The lack of a subscription model is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.

    The newest version of Office maintains the feel and look of its predecessor. Very few things have been moved around, but some some nice new features, commands, functions, etc. have been added. This product keeps getting better and better without requiring a huge learning curve.

    I was searching for something, a software that could help me just to be able to work on small stuff in the office. And when this specific one was recommended, I had the software installed for me, I was all set to go. Everything has been running smoothly.

    One Time use Office Upgrade

    I prefer to use a one-time upgrade rather than subscribe to an annual Office 365 subscription. This product allows this option. I'm glad Microsoft still offers this option. It would be nicer if it included the latest version of Outlook, however, which it doesn't.

    A Must Have Program!

    Office Home and Student has just the right amount of bang for students, teachers and general home users. This version does not require a yearly fee for use. I wouldn’t recommend it for intensive business use. Office is a must have program no matter what version you buy.

    I always install Home & Student on any new new laptop or desktop. I find there are very few meaningful improvements and updates in a year’s time and you only pay for it once. 365 costs you every year you renew and you just don’t get anything to die for in the way of updates.

    I had a much older version of Office and had been thinking of updating it. This version was included for free with a new HP laptop I purchased so it worked out well. It’s not the yearly subscription so I’ll have to update again eventually but it was too good a deal to pass up.

    I have been using Office Home & Student for about 18 or 19 yrs. & have always been happy with it. I am sure this one will be just as good. have not put on computer yet because I am not sure if there are any changes to this version & I am not fond of change at all. I would much rather pay this amount rather than get the one for just 1 yr. subscription

    I’ve had my MacBook Pro for 2 years and had been using their version of word and PowerPoint for simple edits and presentations. It was okay, but then recently I was in much need of using Excel and that was what made me purchase this. It is definitely worth spending for these programs.

    At least it still looks like Word 2010. . . The biggest issue is getting it up and running the way you want to: my new computer came with a trial of word 365, and it kept trying to use that instead of installing 2019. After I got that resolved, it still wants me to store everything in the cloud

    The actual product Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excell, etc.) is great. Lots of tools and easy to use. I don’t like OneDrive though. I have to shut it down every time I boot up or else it will automatically upload all my files. I just want to save to a local disk and it is a hassle to keep my computer from constantly trying to save to OneDrive instead.

    I bought this for my iMac, as many might know it does not come installed. It was an extremely necessary buy for my household since my husband and I have attended college and need the office essentials one gets with this. Very much necessary, too bad iMac did not have it installed.

    It's Excel and Word without the "subscription"

    I don't see a need to get Office with an annual "subscription". Being retired there is no need to constantly have the most updated version and I believe it is a waste of money. I save money opting for a one time only purchase as I do not upgrade computers that frequently.

    Bought new laptop, needed Office and I was not about to buy it every year so I bought a copy. Works like older versions and these subscriptions are a rip off. Anyone agree.

    or students and families who want classic Office apps installed on one Windows 10 PC or Mac for use at home or school. Classic 2019 versions of Office apps including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Plus, OneNote for Windows 10. Make it so much easier for the kid to get there homework done.

    I you are going to use the Microsoft Office programs for any extended period of time, then it makes almost no sense to pay for essentially the same product(s) over and over. I don't see how subscription services on extended use save the customer money!

    Get a new computer, Office is a must for me! I write too many documents to not have Office on my computer! I chose the 1 Device, no monthly fee, just buy it outright! I don't want to keep paying every month if there are no updates!

    Works As Advertised but...

    Works as advertised. I wanted a stand alone program. So I wouldn't have to pay for a subsciption every year. You have to realize that Microsoft won't let you upgrade this program to their next release. They should allow you to upgrade at a discounted price if you want or you decide you need the newer features. My gripe is that a lot of times they take away features that you actually like to use in their later releases. Apple is even more guilty of this practice. Every time they upgrade their operating system a lot of my software won't work.Infact, that is why I was forced to buy this software because my previous Office wouldn't work. One criticism is they should allow you to use it on multiple devices registered to one individual. Also it would be nice feature if you work on one device and automatically be able to pick up where you left off on another.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    If you're not interested in having to pay a monthly subscription for Microsoft Office on a Mac this is the way to go. It is a little complicated at first to set it up on the Macbook but after overcoming that small hurdle you're good to go!

    I haven't had a chance to use the new Microsoft Office Home & Student 2019 very much. Although it seems to operate like the Microsoft Office Home & Student on the computer I replaced. It is well worth the money to have Microsoft Office on your computer.
