Microsoft has long promised that OWA will be officially supported from on-premises Exchange servers, but has yet to pull the trigger or even announce anything.īecause it targets corporate workers, OWA for Android will not work for customers who have subscribed to the consumer-grade Office 365 plans - Home, at $100 annually, or Personal, which costs $70 a year - nor with, the browser-based consumer email service that Microsoft operates.Įarly reviews of OWA for Android were not kind. Businesses that still run their own on-premise Exchange servers are out of luck, as they've been since OWA's iOS debut almost a year ago. More important is the requirement of Exchange Online, the off-premises, hosted Exchange service included with virtually every non-consumer Office 365 plan. Only customers with active business-grade Office 365 accounts can use OWA on an Android device, even though the app itself is free to download. As it has with other mobile variations of Office, Microsoft dangled OWA as a carrot to entice customers into subscribing to Office 365, the rent-not-own plans introduced in 2013.
