Microsoft has pushed the new Outlook Web App for select Android devices running KitKat updates. The new Outlook Web App is meant for only select Android 4.4 KitKat devices and it is limited only for the businesses at this moment. Outlook Web App is currently a pre-release version and can be tested out by downloading it from the Google Play Store.
Microsoft’s Outlook.com service is still used by many individuals who have an account registered for personal or official purposes. The new Outlook Web App is basically web powered user interface to deal with the emails. However, Microsoft has warned about the consistency of this app by labelling it as the pre-release version.
At this moment, the Outlook Web App is limited only to select devices running Android 4.4 KitKat and the users owning an Office 365 for Business account. This new app will let you sync your phonebook’s contacts with the one on the Outlook.com account.
This being a pre-release version suffers from several bugs and instances of the same have been reported in the Reviews section of the app listing on Google Play Store.
Whether Outlook.com Web app will have a chance to stand against the Gmail is a different story but the users who have been using Outlook.com email should certainly be delighted.
