There's one subscription option for home users, and 3 for businesses. I fail to see how this is too many. Please explain. :confused:

There are total of 7 subscription plans: (1) Office 365 Home Premium ($100/year), (2) Office 365 Small Business ($60/year), (3) Office 365 Small Business Premium ($150/year), (4) Office 365 Midsize Business ($180/year), (5) Hosted Email ($48/year), (6) Office 365 Enterprise E1 ($96/year), (7) Office 365 Enterprise E3 ($240/year).
 
The OWA works perfectly well while offline ! The only issue I have at the moment is that push notification doesn't functioning :(

Is your Exchange account in O365 or on-premise?

As for on-premise users, the app will work with Exchange 2013 CU2 and above. Push won't work in the enterprise for the reasons someone else posted earlier - MS can't distribute it's APNS certificate to on-prem customers.
 
Multiple account ? I use my own domain for emails and I also have three outlook.com and one gmail accounts attached to it via pop3 protocol. It works like an email client.

Also this app is the only app I could find in iOS App Store that supports "Send As" functionality.
Well, Mail supports that. But it isn't in the App Store, so you aren't wrong.
 
Baahh - I still have an original ipad and the OWA for iPad app requires a front facing camera.


That's a bit creepy. This is Microsoft-- they're supposed to be lame, not creepy. Google has the market cornered for creepy.
 
I understand the concept of "to each his/her own" but renting software that isn't even really competitive against what's out there for direct purchase is just beyond me. I don't like the model personally, but clearly there are many who do like, or who have the resources to not care. I like the platform, I like the web editing, etc., but I would like to purchase a piece of software, not lease it.

At 9.99 a month for Office, always the latest versions, on up to 5 computers, seems like a good deal to me. Plus the extra SkyDrive storage is nice.

You can also add or drop computers at will so when I sold a laptop I just removed it off my list and my number of downloads is increased by one. Don't have to worry about having a license tied to a computer.

The web apps and SkyDrive integration is nice. Don't mind $100 a year for what I'm getting out of it.
 
Microsoft is a good friend for Apple to have.

LOL, uh what? Some people here including you need to realize that Microsoft's past trump cards are becoming less relevant as time passes. At this point MS has way more misses than hits and they are more in need of having Apple as a friend rather than the opposite. You need to get an iGrip on reality. :p

Except $100/year Home Premium plan does not include access to OWA iOS app, extra SkyDrive and Skype minutes are worth only $10/year each.

If you want access to both desktop and every mobile apps, you will need to pay $150-240/year for business plans.

If you ask me, Microsoft could've made the plan a lot more enticing if it included Windows license as well.

Then people would pay for a month and stop paying once they got the license.

You can still buy the regular Office products outside of Office 365. 365 is just another option that may be of benefit to some people.

I personally like it and find the extra features useful. If I bought the regular Office licenses for every computer I'd be spending the equivalent of 3 1/2 years worth of Office 365, and that's at the discounted University price not including extra SkyDrive storage which would be $40 for 4 years.

I would do the University 365 which is $100 for 4 years but only includes two Windows installs.
