Microsoft has launched Add-ins for the Outlook App on Android after initially releasing the feature for iOS back in February of this year.

This feature delivers the end user capabilities to accomplish other tasks directly within the Outlook App on Android instead of needing different apps for the same functionality.

"Add-ins help you accomplish tasks quickly—right from Outlook. Whether you want to save an email to your customer relationship management app, quickly add email content to your project board, translate emails on the fly, or add a bit of flair and personality to emails—add-ins have you covered. There is no need to switch back and forth between apps or copy/paste email information. With add-ins, your favorite apps are just a tap away in Outlook."

Among the apps that are available to users of the Outlook App on Android you will find:

-- Evernote
-- Microsoft Dynamics 365
-- Microsoft Translator
-- Nimble
-- OnePlaceMail
-- Outlook Customer Manager
-- Smartsheet
-- Trello

In addition to those existing apps, Microsoft also shared these new apps will be available soon for Outlook on Android:

-- Wrike
-- JIRA
-- MeisterTask
-- Gfycat
-- MojiLala

Once released these apps will be available not only on Outlook for Android but also on the web, Windows, Mac, and iOS.

Read more details about the upcoming apps over on the Office Blog and you can download Outlook for Android from the Google Play Store.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
