  1. "Downloading Update"

    For the past few days the app has said:
    "Downloading an app update. This may take a few minutes"

    No emails will open and this message will not disappear. Please fix!

      • Please fix OWA.

        The Application does not work, it is stuck on "downloading App...." message. See all the forums.

                    • Touch-ID

                      It would be nice, if the OWA-app under iOS support the touch-id to unlock the app on iphone or other device. It's clear, that the touch-id can only replace the common identification "kennung (in german)" if the user has enanled the touch-id on his device. If he has not, then the app must still require the identifying information in characters to unlock.

                      Thank for reading.

                              Fix the OWA app so that it doesn't stay permanently hung up when trying to do an app update. I can no longer receive my work email on my cell phone. This is CRITICAL to me. PLEASE FIX.

                                • How do I get rid of the large blue box at the bottom of the screen?

                                  It just randomly appears, and I can't get it to go away. It has the effect of sliding the entire screen upward, and I can't see the top of the page without scrolling and holding it.

                                          This search mail application does not work. Emails scripts changes. Program is not working. I plan to change back to iPhone mail.
