| 2024-11-20 |  | | Useless. Per Microsoft's website, syncing Android contacts with Outlook Lite is not currently available (Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+ as of 11/20/24). For an email app, that's an epic "F" in my book. Wish I'd checked this **before** installing on a dozen company tablets. |
| 2024-11-20 |  | | Works perfectly. Unlike the total garbage app that Outlook is which is totally unresponsive to accepting the Outlook email address. Save yourself the extra 300 MBs and the hassle of a brick masquerading as an app and use this instead. Hmm, deducting 1 star from my rating because the app said I had no emails whatsoever in all my accounts earlier today. Had to uninstall/reinstall to get it to work again. Very annoying, please fix this glitch don't let this very end up like the useless main version |
| 2024-11-16 |  | | Ever since I swapped from the full app to the lite version, I've had my account locked for no reason and had to put in my phone number to unlock it twice. I don't know what's in the app that keep triggering the account lock mechanism, but I'd like for it to stop, please. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | It has been working good but a couple of days ago it will load but the only thing I can see is the bottom line where you select email, people, calendar etc. Absolutely nothing else loads and I can't select any of the things that do show on the bottom line. I can't keep the pictures from loading, using my bandwidth and data for useless things. I have to use the online version. |
| 2024-11-07 |  | | relatively small and simple program with limited options. If you primarily use desktop outlook and just want mobile interface for quick connections then this is perfect. or rather, it would be perfect... however *constantly* asking me to add my other email accounts and even SMS is a deal breaker for me. you can ask my once then have a "no"option. however this app only has "add other email address" or "ask me later". ridiculous tactics from Microsoft and infuriating |
| 2024-10-30 |  | | Unable to handle multiple email accounts smoothly. When I click on a notification to go to the email it opens the app but then just spins and spins with a blank page. I then have to click on the back button in the upper left and then reselect the email again for it to load on the display correctly. Very frustrating when you are trying to get to something timely. App is very unreliable |
| 2024-10-25 |  | | Absolutely no hiccups save so much space having the light version with the same power it seems as a full version I'll be at less features but you wouldn't notice it from the emails which I was uploading light for just to have access to my email and it is perfectly speedy and a tune with the full version Exquisite download another winner for Microsoft |
| 2024-10-20 |  | | Used to be a 5 star rating until IT decided to make software changes. Must delete all mail by checking the ones to be deleted then delete all rather than one step by pressing delete all. Unfortunately, it seems that the deleted items also show back up again at times... not fully deleted the first time. The Program has become slower... hearing the notification of email received but takes a few minutes for it to physically show up in the mail to read. No response from MS when issues sent to them. |
| 2024-09-28 |  | | It works and its lite but it's practically useless. I can install my outlook/hotmail/live email as a web app through my Brave browser and have the same functionality. The Outlook Lite app doesn't even support standard password to 3rd party email. I don't understand why Microsoft embarrasses itself with such mediocre apps when we have access to far better options such as Fairmail and K9. |
| 2024-09-26 |  | | Every now and then, I get flooded day after day with the most obvious copyrighted flagrant emails and more. The spam filter needs to be better at filtering these out! I report and block these almost immediately, but a month or two later then it's the same situation for another week or two, yet still emails from companies I have signed up for are moved into the spam folder?! I receive over 10 more times more emails on my older gmail account, but it's a lot better at working out the difference. |
