Nexus Site Taken Down

Terrible news for Android users. The Nexus.installfree.com site has been taken down. Those who subscribed to the service will have their subscription fees refunded to them.

Nexus.install free provided Android users with the ability to access Microsoft Word and LibreOffice from the Android. The site worked off of a freemium model through which new users could initially use the service for a number of days without having to subscribe. After the initial trial period users had to pay a subscription fee.

Apparently, this business model didn't work.

What went wrong?

Nexus likely suffered from a difficulty in branding its service. Who is going to remember a domain like Nexus.installfree.com?

Additionally, the Nexus didn't work through an app. Unlike similar services such as the extremely successful CloudOn, Nexus didn't allow the user to tap into Word through a native in-app wrapper. The user literally had to fire up the browser and navigate to the browser. And, as previously mentioned, users might have had a difficult time remembering to type Nexus.installfree.com.

The service's business model didn't make sense either. Why would someone pay to use Microsoft Office when they could use it through CloudOn for free?

Interestingly, the most devastating aspect of the closure is fact that Android users can no longer use the service to tap into LibreOffice.

According to the Nexus freemium model, users could still use LibreOffice even if they had not wanted to subscribe. This meant users had free access to LibreOffice even after the free trial period had expired.

LibreOffice allows users to edit OpenOffice documents. Thus, Nexus provided a neat method for Android users to work on OpenOffice documents.

At this time, it appears as if the failure of Nexus means that there isn't a way for Android users to create and edit OpenOffice documents.

Perhaps, it would have made more sense if Nexus had charged for access to LibreOffice and made Microsoft Word free to use. After all, CloudOn doesn't offer LibreOffice and this was perhaps the most unique feature offered by Nexus.

This site will hopefully post future methods for users to find and access OpenOffice.
