Free Anroid app to view MS Word docs

After some advice on a free app for Android phones so I can view MS Word .doc and .docx documents ?

I don't need to create / edit MS Word documents, just view them when people have emailed them to me.

Thank you.

I am sure if you have a microsoft ID (outlook or hotmail free email address) you can use word on your phone.

I thought Google Docs could open Word docs now? Or as mentioned a Microsoft ID would give you access to Office 365 online, so while it's not a local app, it would be just through the browser.

I use All Document Reader. It handles Word and Pdfs and other formats.

Yeah as above, I use Google Doc's all the time now as I don't have MS office on my home computer and their spreadsheet which is compatible with Excel. Best of all it is free.
