Office or Word on iPad Pro

  • For an iPad the easiest option, I have found, is to use Google Docs/Sheets. As mentioned further up it is free and you just get the appropriate apps in order to create and view documents. There are some other free options too but I have always found them not to be up to the task. Alternatively, you could just get more acquainted with Numbers/Pages, but even though I use Apple products extensively I have never found them very user friendly.
    Retired at age 56 after having "light bulb moment" due to reading MSE and its forums. Have been converted to the "budget to zero" concept and use YNAB for all monthly budgeting and long term goals.

    As I only use my iPad for personal use paying an ongoing licence really doesn't really make sense, so I’ll go a free program. As a matter of interest which ape Word and Excel the most
    As I mentioned above I don’t like the Apple office offering even though it comes pre-loaded

    Not sure if I-Pad os 13xx is relevant to iPad Air
    I'm 11" running 13.3 beta from Apple =non developer
    Though ios/iPad os 13 versions support usb devices including thumb drives and some external hard drives.
    Didn't manage to get my Porsche's lacie 1tb drive working though did buy 64gb usb-C type drive which does work with iPad.

    All 2018 and 2019 iPad Pro models come equipped with USB-C ports.

    The 2019 iPad Air and iPad mini come with a Lightning-to-USB cable in the box
    Think that works for additional storage
