The new Office 365 Mobile app is out

Microsoft released a public preview of their new Office 365 app last week, and I have been taking a closer look at it. The idea is to have one applications for multiple tasks, and letting the user accomplish more with out switching between apps on their device.

  • Take Notes
  • Launch Lens (Also known as Office Lens)
  • Documents
The Documents section will allow you not only to start new documents, but to scan paper documents and convert them into digital office documents.  I was particularly impressed with the "scan table" feature, which converts a table to a spreadsheet in excel.

I know I will already be deleting my old Office apps for my mobile devices, and start using this new app.
