Re: An update on Outlook for iOS
Hi! I installed Outlook today and I like the interface and mail handling. Whati I don't like is inability to browse contacts from native app or iCloud, there's some accessibility itches in Calendar part and all in all, the lack of support for Apple services. I can't deal with an app which basically supports e-mail, calendar and cloud storage but not supporting iOS contacts, calendar and iCloud. It would be more than nice to be able to sync Outlook calendar with iCloud or be able to browse addresses from the arranged iOS address book rather than Gmail Contacts on the web. If I understand correctly, I'm not even able to add, remove or edit contacts in Outlook app. S poštovanjem Gordan Radić 18.9.2016. u 17:21, Devin Prater je napisao/la: I'd like to know how to navigate threads with outlook.

Glad to hear the editing VoiceOver issue has been fixed. I may give it another spin with my business accounts again. Can I ask though if the issue in the calendar tab was also addressed?
