What’s It About?

WPS OFFICE is a third-party app that offers extensive access to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents from a mobile device. It's a helpful way to import, edit, present, and share these documents from a single app. Although other mobile apps like this seem like slimmed-down versions of their desktop counterparts, this app seems to include almost all the tools for modifying Microsoft files that users will recognize from their desktop computers.

This is a helpful one-stop tool for editing, sharing, and presenting Microsoft Office from the mobile device. It's also visually attractive and easy to navigate. Unfortunately, storage and organization can get a little unwieldy, so this app might be best for editing and presenting on the fly, not for storing files in the long term. Additionally, help text and FAQ text often are in stilted English and offer only limited assistance when users need guidance.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about the balance between school and fun. Just because it's possible to actively work on school documents at any time using a mobile device, should you? 

  • Kids and parents also can experiment with the app's AirPlay features for sharing PowerPoint presentations to a projector or to other devices' screens.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
