Every so often there are exceptions, though.

Like this collection of apps Microsoft made for Android, of all platforms.

The app allows you to view or make minor edits to Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files.

It’s not a replacement for office, but it’s a handy piece of software to keep around.

OneNote

Another unsurprising, yet often overlooked entry isOneNote.

OneNote strikes a nice middle-ground sweet spot.

Next Lock Screen

Credit where it’s due, Microsoft made a pretty neat lock screen.

It also includes a list of commonly-used shortcuts along the bottom.

Smart Glass

For Xbox users (both360andOne), the Smart Glass app is indispensable.

In many cases, this is much nicer than using a controller.

Like, for example, when entering your Wi-Fi password.

it’s possible for you to also message each other within the app.
