Collabora Office

The United States is a diverse country, so I think it should support more languages, such as traditional Chinese.

As much as I love Libre Office on my Linux computers, and have supported them, this “based on” Libre Office offering for IOS is pretty much useless. I am using an iPad Pro 12.9” display, and have been unable to “control” this apps behavior. Pull up a spreadsheet, highlight a group of already boxed in cells (if it will let you) it wouldn’t stop scrolling on its own. Too far right, kept adding rows…even after I removed my finger from the screen. Try to copy that selection……. Nope. You can’t even copy and paste as all group of cells in a spreadsheet. (8 columns by 5 rows) And as others have mentioned, there is no “Save’ function. Just an “Export” option. Could not find an “insert row” option. As an inspector and product tester, I find this app to be only somewhat “based on” Libre Office. The latest version of Libre Office is absolutely outstanding. But this Collbora Office app in its current form/condition, should not be associated with Libre Office. This app is partially usable as a document viewer only. And results will very even while doing that. I understand that development takes time and lots of effort, and appreciate that this app is free. But basic controls and usability should be in place before attempting to duplicate all the underlying features of a fully loaded office suite. I’m sorry to leave what amounts to a negative review, but this app was quite frustrating to use, and resulted in a loss of productivity. And I’ve been building and using computers since 1982.

This app doesn’t save any documents after you close them. It’s quite useless.

I really don’t understand why there are so many bad reviews. I loved LibreOffice, but my computer broke. So, I downloaded collabora and it’s essentially the same thing. Same interface and buttons, same good app. People complaining about work not being saved clearly aren’t interpreting that this is essentially Libreoffice on mobile. You need to press a button that says save for it to save. It’s not really buggy at all, even when scrolling and opening doccuments. It’s insanely easy to use and really nice to use actually. 10/10, would recommend.

opens to a text doc with no way to make it anything else. Have any of their developers actually tried to use this app? If there's a way to create a spreadsheet, their mind-numbingly obtuse interface gives no clue how.

Best!!

I use LibreOffice on all of my devices - it just works and helps me do the things that I need. I donate to LibreOffice and would happily pay for any in-app purchases on this app were such an option available.

While there were some bugs in earlier versions, this LibreOffice for iOS is quite functional and works well as a reader and for making any edits one would need on a smartphone.

I wanted an office suite to replace Microsoft as I don't like their push for generative AI, and I refuse to use Google's offerings as I have privacy concerns with them. I thought Collabora office would be a good fit, since it is on every platform I need it. However, on iOS and only on iOS, I am unable to open any spreadsheet that is saved to my cloud drive. Other file formats work fine, but spreadsheets specifically refuse to open. Since such a mundane thing can't be accomplished, I have to give this app one star. If this functionality is fixed, I'll edit my review to one more appropriate.

This is such a great office product, why do people hate on it so much.
