Free Android and iOS Office Apps as MS Office, DataViz, Polaris Alternatives

Move over, Microsoft Office and Google Drive, WPS Office (iOS|Android) is one of the best mobile office suites you can download. This app built by Chinese company Kingsoft is wildly popular in the East and has been slowly gaining steam in the US thanks to its many loyal fans.

Feature for feature, it matches its competitors, offering the tools you need to create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The best part of WPS Office is that it's free for anyone and you don't need an account to use the app -- just download and get started right away. That's different than Office or Drive, which both require accounts and Office requires a subscription.

The Android version of WPS Office just got a major update, with a new design and Dropbox integration. I'll be covering that app in this review. However, there are significant differences between the tablet and phone versions of WPS Office. The tablet app is the one to get, because of its intuitive layout and buttery-smooth performance. The phone app on the other hand, which was built for smaller edits, has a bland design that's so clunky that I'd rather not use it at all.
