Looks like our efforts paid off - they renamed the app to MobSheets Pro and made it free. I'm assuming Microsoft pressured them in some way. I installed the app in a VM to check it out, and it immediately prompts you to leave a five star review to unlock functionality - obviously their attempt to increase their one star review, but you can just leave a one star review after clicking their button to go to the store. Their app does let you browse for PDFs and load them, but that's the extent of it. So their description is obviously still a complete lie, but there is enough functionality to fly under Microsoft's radar I guess.

Hardworking Office is familiar, MobSheets Pro is what I purchased
So
it wasn't free yesterday. I've contacted Microsoft so thanks for the report.

Yes, they switched the price back as they obviously want to con more users into purchasing it. It's quite frustrating.

This fake app can be seen here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/mobile...1pkxd0hl51. They are pretending to be MobileSheets for Windows to confuse users who have purchased MobileSheetsPro on Android. I have reported the app to Microsoft and I advise everyone else to do the same so that Microsoft will hopefully take the app down faster. For any users that do purchase this fake app, there is nothing I am able to do to assist with canceling the purchase. It all must be handled through Microsoft, so you will have to contact them directly to request a refund.
To help reduce further confusion, I’m going to be renaming MobileSheetsPro back to just "MobileSheets" to stay consistent with the app name on Windows and iOS (once that that version is released).

UPDATE:
The app now calls itself "MobSheets Pro" and is still available because Microsoft will not take it down despite all of the complaints.
Reported to Microsoft
