I can read Excel and Word files just fine on the apps. With the 365 subscription you technically can have full access to their features on your phone/iPad. But, editing is very, very difficult, so I don't bother trying to do that. The OneDrive access is great! Its really nice to know I can access any of my OneDrive files from anywhere, and even upload things to OneDrive from my iPhone. I do not know of any good apps for editing Word documents on an iPhone or iPad. I use Voice Dream Writer for my text editor. It handles the text markup language so you can export files to RTF reliably, but you can only edit from plain text. Skype works fine. I've never figured out OneNote on a device or the computer. HTH,

I've had some issues such as being mysteriously tossed out of Excel when I've tried to use it. I took a pretty good look at the Microsoft Office apps around two years ago so things have doubtless improved since then. You should definitely try them out as they're all free on iOS anyway. I've long ago found alternatives for what I need. I do use Skype regularly and it works very well. Also, I was particularly impressed with the Microsoft To Do app. It integrates with the Outlook calendar so that might be a big advantage for you. I've gravitated to using the Reminders app as well as Fantastical to keep track of things. For writing, I use Ulysses. There are many different writing alternatives. Pages isn't too bad. I might have stuck with it had it been as accessible as it is now from day one. Take the time to try things out and see what you like. We have an abundances of accessible choices in iOS. I hope to have my guide published at the end of April where I go over a lot of these in some detail.

How accessible are the various office apps, Word, Access, Excell and One Note. Also, how usable are Skype and One Drive? Along with this question, if people here prefer other apps for functions available through the various Microsoft apps, such as interacting with documents, which ones do people recommend? Thanks so much for all answers. Travis -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
