Edit: the app seems to be pretty old, I like the Writer editing more (it works) but for other things, CollaboraOffice is way better.
Has anyone tried that on a tablet? The phone UI has like no features
Currently it is a “viewer” (renderer with usable UI) and editing features are experimental.
They only release their APK to Google Play for whatever reason, but you can use F-Droid to get it
Bugs can normally be reported to their bugtracker and you can join their forum for more community support!
Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.
Isn’t this something like 10 years old? If not, what has changed now?
Edit: German technews website heise says that libreoffice for android was released in 2015.
yup, Play Store entry says 27 May 2015.
True, maybe they added something new? I just saw it on F-Droid, probably just because before they only supported Google Play (not even an APK download??) Which is pretty insane.
I’ve had that app for ages. And I only use F-Droid…
I installed it from F-Droid back on December last year. This post is kinda of inaccurate.
Strange
Collabora has been around for a while I’ve just been using that
Yeah its better
Better than collabora or the other way round?
Other
Google Play and F-Droid are both available
Hopefully the editing portion takes off. Been using open document reader from fdroid to view and just been editing the actual ods files and such on my computer. Can’t wait to see what the future has in store
That is great news!
Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.
There’s also collabora office which is based on LibreOffice.
