This free (with Office 365) tool is your content hero, transforming words, pics, and videos into captivating web stories. Ditch stuffy slides and design woes - Sway's got cool layouts anyone can build (drag, drop, share, done!).

What do you dislike about Microsoft Sway?

Limited offline editing and a clunky mobile app can hamper creativity. Template overload makes finding the perfect design tricky, while sharing options lack nuance. Integration with other Office apps could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Sway solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sway has cool templates you just fill with your stuff. Drag, and Done. Even a design novice like me can make fancy newsletters in minutes. My readers are loving it – no more snoozing, they're actually clicking and asking for more! Sure, the phone app isn't perfect, but hey, it's still free magic. Ditch the dull, embrace the wow with Sway Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Sway is software that makes it simple to create presentations, blogs, and tales. What I appreciate the most about it is how many presentation templates it has. It also offers a skeleton and guidelines for creating presentations and stories, as well as a tutorial for those who are just learning how to use it. The key benefit of Sway is that no prior knowledge of content development is necessary. Earlier to this I facing issues regarding availability of good templates and this has saved me from that problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
