Horrible

Crashes badly, unusable UPDATE 18 Jul 2023: yet another update has not fixed crashes, totally useless. Can I give zero stars?

Awful for Spreadsheets

Basic 1+2 arithmetic is ok but anything else is awful. There,s no online help other than a short non-searchable useless document. I,ve just spent an hour trying to unhide a row. It’s really only useable as a viewer.

In need of more frequent updates to improve compatibility

This is a good free software office suite, but it’s in dire need to keep up with MS compatibility more frequently.

Hangs then crashes losing work

When I first started using this, it was an acceptable app…not as good as LibreOffice on Mac but did the job. However, recently it hangs within a couple of minutes, regardless of whether the file I’m accessing is in Dropbox or OneDrive. I have to close the app which then loses all my work, rendering it unusable. Please fix!

Needs better cursor support

Lots of the UI elements don’t work with a cursor, can’t even select texts with it. It’s 2022, there are many using their iPads with mice or touchpads.

Slow and Difficult to Use

Very difficult to use, especially if pasting in data from another source. Clunky and slow.

Adequate but no more

Updates are few and far between. I’d almost call this abandonware. Libre Office (Linux, Mac) updates regularly and is always improving but Collabora seems to be static and set. That said, it’s the best office app for iPad and doesn’t spy on you using it. It is fiddly and can be difficult using a touch interface but once you get used to it, the app is basically OK. It should be much more and I’m looking forward to Libre finally porting the actual Office from Linux to iPadOS. Not holding my breath, though. In the meantime, this fills the gap.

An app that shouldn’t really exist

This is nothing more than the online version wrapped in a thin shell. And as you would imagine, running this kind of complex application in this way is bound to be a disaster. Everything is buggy, everything. Why bother? People might as well just use an office application in the browser.

Still buggy.

Wow, an update. Can’t remember when the last significant update was. I was beginning to think this app has been abandoned. No matter what file you create the icon for your file always looks the same and automatically saves under the name blank. It would be great if we can save a document and save with a filename, not just automatically saved as blank.

Disappointing

Wanted an occasional viewer for Libre Office, this is pointed to from the Libre Office site but the first spreadsheet I tried it just crashes. No indication of what the issue is or anything. There is also no obviously way of reporting an issue either unless you pay £££.
