    I've converted to Libre Office last few years. It's a bit getting use to finding specific functions or format settings afters years of MS Office, but very similar and really great as free shareware.

    I don't think I've heard of Ultra Office… should I switch?

    • Xebozone on 22/06/2019 - 22:24
      +10

      I would stick with Libre Office. It's open-source and always free.
      It's maintained by the community that use it!
      I've heard that this uses code from Libre Office anyway.

      • CyberMurning on 23/06/2019 - 00:27

        Libre has PDF editing function?

        • crayner on 23/06/2019 - 12:47

          Yes, Draw will do this.

    • AustriaBargain on 23/06/2019 - 01:16

      I pay about $100 a year for Office x5 and 1TB OneDrive x5, struggling to think why I should bother to spend years learning the quirks to Libre Office when I'd pay $100 a year for 1TB of cloud storage anyway.

        Same position/thoughts as you

      • syousef on 23/06/2019 - 14:58

        If what you do depends on it, you should always know how to operate more than one piece of software if available. Microsoft could do anything to that suite over the next 5 years - you're just renting.

      • SlickMick on 26/06/2019 - 10:54

        I'm still not paying for cloud storage. I'm sick of having to compromise what I save, or shuffle between various free providers. But I'm convinced there is a conspiracy to lock us into ever-growing subscriptions so we can never retire, I I'll resist if I can.

        I didn't find there was any transition going from Word to Libre. They all copy each other, there's little difference. (I've worked in IT for 30 years so maybe I'm just used to adapting??)

        • AustriaBargain on 26/06/2019 - 12:13

          Cloud storage gets cheaper all the time. It’s so convenient, from my iPhone I can add any file to my windows pc, and can browse and use files, I can open a word document or svg on my iPad and edit it, then open it on my desktop for further editing. And 1tb is plenty, don’t even need to think about using it up with daily 1gb Wordpress backups.

      Libre Office isn't shareware, it's totally free open source software. It will never expire or nag you to register :)

    @ Microsoft

    A bit misleading they are not from Microsoft from ompuClever Systems Inc.‬

    • sancrumble on 22/06/2019 - 22:09

      @ Microsoft Store

    • Being Askhole on 22/06/2019 - 22:16

      Alvian fixed it.. thanks :)

  • sancrumble on 22/06/2019 - 22:07

    How is this different from MS Office?

    • freewhere on 22/06/2019 - 23:39

      Both are 3rd party different products. Not by Microsoft just compatible with their file formats.

  • GreenGuava on 22/06/2019 - 22:10
    +14

    It's worth clarifying that this is made by ‪CompuClever Systems Inc. and published on the Microsoft Store, rather than being made by Microsoft itself.

    Also, UltraOffice uses code from LibreOffice, which is open source and always free.

    Neat Office with a slightly higher rating appears to be free @ Microsoft Store as well. Not sure how they compare so grabbed both. Thanks OP, was looking for an alternative to MS Office.

    • DonWilson on 22/06/2019 - 22:37

      They're all based on the same code as Libre Office.

      Usually these proprietary versions are abandoned after a few years.

    No harm in checking it out, thanks OP

    Great find!!! THANKS BA (Being Amazing!) and Indie. Was looking for MS office somewhere else (wink wink) to get it for free for new Lappy. Now I don't have to!

  • lilkid28 on 23/06/2019 - 00:12

    Doesn't work for Apple iOS, correct? Any alternatives?

    I'm not very keen on spending $98/year on Microsoft 365. I've been looking around for an alternative to MS office quite awhile now. Thank you for sharing this.

  • Zaphod42 on 23/06/2019 - 08:06

    Is this a genuine discount? Microsoft office open-source alternatives are usually free anyway. I am struggling to see why anyone would have paid $149 instead of the real thing for this and I doubt anybody did. (except maybe on the shopping channel)

  • freeradical on 23/06/2019 - 08:19

    Wont install for me (both), Signed in to my ms account on my pc, click install, nothing!

  • jwh on 23/06/2019 - 09:26

    Appreciate the effort offering a free alternative to MS Office. But I’d stick with Libre Office also. To be honest, the Microsoft Store is full of things like this with inflated prices and mega discounts to distort value.

    Check out this archive manager;

    $299.95 Free

    Or you could just download 7zip, which is always free.

  • FindMeADeal on 23/06/2019 - 09:56

    Says windows 10 or higher for optimum performance.

    Anyone tried on windows 7 etc?

    Cheers!

    • rogerm22 on 23/06/2019 - 13:29

      It is only compatible with Windows 10 as it is a universal app, which can only be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

  • elefc on 23/06/2019 - 11:09

    switched to linux (mint), which has libre suite, from microsoft-world long ago and have not ever looked back. libre is great

    I would stay away from UltraOffice, the vendor CompuClever Systems is known for junkware that is hard to uninstall, see these:

    • rogerm22 on 23/06/2019 - 14:38

      This is a universal Windows app, which will mean that is will be easy to install, just like any universal app. All of their other software can be removed from Add/Remove programs.

      • dr on 23/06/2019 - 15:15
        +1

        Are you sure about that? Have you checked the links I shared? Have you checked reviews on the store for both Ultra Office and Neat Office - all 5-star reviews look like generic bot reviews (that can be applied to any arbitrary app). Negative ones, on the other hand, complain that app required leaving a review before the first use.

        • rogerm22 on 23/06/2019 - 15:28
          +3

          I spend a lot of time testing software and have used most of their software and yes they can be uninstalled with Add/Remove programs. However, I wouldn't recommend any of them, as none their software is worth using in my opinion.

          Ultra Office is an exception to this as it seems decent, but the other free office software listed here Neat Office, seems better. But, the stated $299.95 usual price for Neat Office seems very dubious. Both of these office apps, ask you to leave a review when you launch them. But you can skip this and there is the option to not be asked again. So you can not leave a review and also never be pestered again.

    • Riker88 on 23/06/2019 - 15:40

      Thanks for the warning. I'll stick with Office 365

  • shoelover on 23/06/2019 - 15:32

    Can I download this with a Mac laptop?

    • rogerm22 on 23/06/2019 - 16:05

      Only if you are running Windows 10 on it.

  • gezza90 on 23/06/2019 - 15:43

    I have purchased a laptop and waiting for it to arrive. ETA Friday-Mon. Can I download now and once laptop arrived have it installed then?

    • sud on 23/06/2019 - 22:44

      Yep, just go to the microsoft store on a win10 device and "purchase it".
      As shown below, i have "purchased" an app that my laptop doesn't even support. It is now tied to my account as purchased, just waiting to install.

  • daydream on 23/06/2019 - 17:09

    Is it any better than Libre Office? If not why bother taking the risk with non open source from an unknown and possibly questionable company?

  • navcar on 23/06/2019 - 17:32
    +3

    I downloaded Ultra Office and could not tell the difference with LibreOffice. Even the taskbar/app icons are the same!

    Why would you pay for Ultra Office when you can use LibreOffice? Remember, LibreOffice is a free open-source project which asks for donations.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/

    Prove me wrong but it seems like Ultra Office is just a re-packaged version of LibreOffice.

  • oshe on 25/06/2019 - 20:49

    i've used openoffice for years, any point switching?

  • taron on 25/06/2019 - 23:20
    +1

    Anyone has a comparison "Libreoffice vs Ultra Office vs Neat Office"?

    • SlickMick on 26/06/2019 - 10:59

      yeah would be good to know. But I have no problems with Libre so I guess no reason to look into alternatives.

      I was told to save docs in Libre format, but the last thing I want is to not be able to read a doc on another computer, so I set defaults to always save in MS Office formats, and never had a problem. (except powerpoints can display differently in powerpoint so they need to be tested.)

      • taron on 27/06/2019 - 17:30

        Thanks for that. I think I will choose Libreoffice as many people suggest it.
        And yes, there are always some problems with the slides that we can't avoid - need to be tested before using.

  • CyberMurning on 27/06/2019 - 20:29

    weird i cant install. it says:
