Post #6: Creating and Editing Docs - CloudOn

The CloudOn program is a wonderful addition for someone who likes to use the Microsoft Office suite, but wishes to use it "on-the-go."  CloudOn recreates Office on the ipad and all of the controls and interfaces mirror those found on PC's and laptops.  It prevents users from having to learn a new program to do work when they are traveling or moving around.  Personally, I think that typing and using the features of Word or Power Point on the ipad are somewhat difficult, but I always prefer to use a standard keyboard and mouse.  I would personally use this app if I had to take a bus or train to work because I could open files and get things done while traveling.  It would also be easy to work while traveling by plane - long trips are a perfect time for getting reports or plans done - this app makes it very easy.  The size of the ipad makes it perfect for travel and this app allows the user to take Microsoft Office with them as well.  It's also good for someone who moves around on the job and needs their Office tools to be mobile - and today this often happens in education and business.  The fact that it does exactly what it advertises - Microsoft Office with the standard interface for a mobile device - makes it a necessary app for Office users. Since I prefer Microsoft Office to Google Docs, mostly due to the layout and ease of use, this is an app I would definitely use.
