Free Microsoft Word app a hit on iOS: Shoots to the top of Apple charts

A day after Microsoft surprised everyone by making Microsoft Office apps free for iOS and Android users, the app has climbed to the tops of the Apple App store, CNET has reported. The app was launched last year on the iOS and Android app stores, after CEO Satya Nadella took the helm of Microsoft. Thanks to the company’s partnership with Dropbox, users can now work on documents saved on Dropbox using the Microsoft Word app. Microsoft Office apps can be downloaded from the Google Play store and Apple app store
