You may have heard that Microsoft has released mobile versions of their Office apps for Android and iOS, but that’s only scratching the surface of what they’ve published. What’s more some of their apps are more popular on Android and iOS than Windows Phone.
Microsoft’s recent move to open up the Office platform to Android and iOS has received quite a bit of press and many of the apps are garnering good reviews including recent praise from the Wall Street Journal for the Outlook for iOS and Android app. No longer running under the “First-and-best on Windows” flag, Microsoft has continued to release or upgrade apps for Android and iOS that promote their online and cloud services. Recent news of Microsoft investing $70M in Cyanogen, the makers of the popular CyanogenMod version of Android is even more proof of their determination to ingrain themselves into other mobile OS ecosystems. But will they be successful in helping Cyanogen “take Android away from Google”?
Microsoft currently has 61 apps available on the Google Play Store and 48 available for iPhone on iTunes. These include the names you would normally think of like the Office apps, Bing Search, and OneDrive. But here are a few that you might not expect.
Microsoft has several XBox apps available including the SmartGlass application that lets you control your XBox 360 or XBox One using your mobile phone. They also have the XBox Music streaming service app.
There are plenty of enterprise apps available as well including Remote Desktop, Dynamics CRM, AX, and NAV apps, as well as apps meant to be used with their InTune service such as InTune PDF Viewer, InTune AV Player, and InTune Managed Browser.
