User reviews

Seems that the only way to use OWA is with this extension. Not happy that Microsoft has a user-agent sniffer to deliver worse performance on non Windows systems, but that's typical Microsoft behavior. This extension is a must have.

Simple and effective.

Thank God as I was ready to ship my new Google Slate back as any android app does not offer spell check so NO EMAIL CLIENTS will work for me. Total BS. This app now provides me to access my work email with a MUCH more enhanced version. THANK YOU
