The reason why we are talking about Viewer apps is that Microsoft announced this week in the Office updates blogs that it will discontinue PowerPoint Viewer, Excel Viewer, and Word Viewer in April 2019. According to the reports from gHacks, these apps are introduced when Microsoft updated the default document format for the Microsoft Office apps and was deemed to lend a hand to people sticking with the older formats. Microsoft Word Viewer is projected to kill off in this month, whereas both Excel and PowerPoint viewer is projected to be killed off in April 2019. Microsoft says “The Microsoft Word Viewer is being retired in November 2017. At that time, the Viewer will no longer be available for download and will no longer receive security updates,” So, PowerPoint viewer and Excel Viewer will be available for download until April 2019. Microsoft will remove the downloads and will stop releasing the updates or bug fixes to these applications after that time. So, what do you think about this?
