In a world in which several companies are competing for a monopoly on our screen time, most users are caught somewhere in the middle, piecing together the combination of tools that works best for their own needs. In some ways, WPS Office feels emblematic of a particular moment in educational technology. The Microsoft Office suite is still the dominant medium in many schools and workplaces, and WPS Office lets users of mobile devices interface easily with more traditional devices. Teachers and students can easily use the app to share, edit, and comment on student work, or to present slide shows. The app’s many features, however, make it a great app for schools as well.

WPS Office wasn’t designed specifically as a tool for education it’s a tool for creating, editing, and sharing files created with the Microsoft Office suite. Other features are built in for projection via AirPlay, making it easy to share a PowerPoint presentation to a bigger screen and a wider audience. Users can also sync the app to various accounts for Cloud storage, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and others.

A simple interface allows users to share files directly between an iOS or Android device and a computer connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The familiar iconography for such features as cut, copy, and paste are new, and different from their desktop counterparts.įeatures for importing and exporting files from a mobile device are also built in. Some features demonstrate a little lag time when used on a tablet - selecting text seems to take more effort than expected, for example - but so many necessary features are included that the app feels complete. Users can edit fonts, styles, alignment, and bullets, just like on a computer. All the familiar features of the Microsoft Office suite are present and easy to use, so it has the advantages of feeling familiar and of being well-built for the iOS and Android. WPS Office is an app built to address a specific need: It allows users to edit and share Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents on tablets or smartphones.
