Ratings and reviews

This isnt perfect. It doesnt have some features that google or microsoft give you like drive access, and android's filesystem sucks, so it sucks sometimes to find the files I wanna open.... but for me with my spreadsheets, or for writing, they work well enough. Its free and doesnt give me problems. Less features, buuut you need something basic, Planmaker, their Presentations app or their textmaker app just kinda work.

Good app but doesn't support excel/libre office basic feature - tables names. When using Excel/libre office, if in my file, I have a named table and if I go to the last line of the table and do a "insert new row above", it creates a new row with all formulas, formats, etc copied from the previous row and also adding the new row to the named table. This does not happen in office nx. It just adds a dumb line. Pls add this fundamental excel feature.

Haven't used it a lot yet, but seems to have everything I need, and spreadsheets created in Excel work ok (except those with macros). Still getting used to the UI.

What's new

Improved compatibility with Android 14
