Hi Folks,
I am a bit confused about Office 365. Where would be the best place to get the suite from? The Appstore or the MS Webby? The appstore office apps seem to have extremely poor reviews.
I need the suite as I am handing in my notice at work and need to tidy up my work documentation etc. So Excel, Word, OneNote and Powerpoint are all needed. Got a sub already.

Don’t buy it direct, find a code (not sure if OcUK sell them so won’t mention where). Very easy to find 12/15/27 month codes from reputable retailers and they stack up to 5 years IIRC. Especially with Black Friday looming.
I constantly have this bookmarked and but it when it’s £50ish. Stack up the years. You can sell the anti virus code on eBay if you wanted.
Plus you are getting 6TB of cloud storage.

Sorry guys, I stated I have a subscription already.
I am not sure where to download the suite from that's all.
Edit: Downloaded the individual apps off the Appstore and they seem sound and functional enough.

I would get them from Microsoft, just sign in on https://www.office.com/ and you can then download them. It's likely that the App Store ones will receive fewer timely updates vs the Microsoft updater.
I know we've talked about this before and I've also been keeping an eye on that but I've never seen it around £50. Any chance you could give me a ping when you next see it please?
Of course no problem
Assuming that OcUK don't sell Office then, I'll say that Argos also sell it on the cheap at various times throughout the year. I just keep searching https://www.hotukdeals.com/ and I top it up as and when I spot it for cheap. Sometimes it's bundles with McAfee which you can just ignore and only use the Office aspect.

Edit - Re. app store, slow updates is the main disadvantage.

Good shout, it's a decent price there now.
Didn't even check, but yeah £49.99 is decent. Just topped up another 12 months.
I've got Office 365 Business Premium and am pretty happy with it. The only thing that annoys me about it is that whenever I have a problem with it the support agents always want to call me rather talking via text or email (I absolutely despise using the telephone). It is quite expensive though. I pay £22 a month including VAT.
I did the same before I posted, still waiting for the code to come through.
Mine also hasn’t come though, I posted hastily, it’s usually pretty instant.
Mine has now
macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 is available.
£53.99 at the minute. Closest it's been to £50 for a while. It was more than that for Black Friday. It's worth it alone for 15 months OneDrive on one account, let alone 6!
