About this app

You may know LibreOffice from the desktop - the free and open source office suite (successor to OpenOffice) with over 200 million users worldwide. It's secure and respects your privacy, not sharing your documents with anyone else. It's also available for Android in a simplified form, to view documents in these formats:

• Open Document Format (odt, ods, odp, odg)
• Microsoft Office 2007–365 (docx, xlsx and pptx)
• Microsoft Office 97–2003 (doc, xls and ppt)

LibreOffice Viewer also has experimental editing features, which are not yet suited to production use. (Experimental mode can be enabled in the app settings.) The software is open source and made by a worldwide community, so if you'd like to improve the experimental editing support, please join us!

Feedback and bug reports are very welcome, to help developers improve the quality of the application. You can report bugs and attach files here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org

LibreOffice Viewer is built on the same technology as LibreOffice desktop for Windows, macOS and Linux. LibreOffice Viewer is released under the Mozilla Public License v2. The software is backed by a dynamic community, represented by The Document Foundation, a not for profit entity based in Germany.

LibreOffice was based on OpenOffice.org (commonly known as OpenOffice). Full credits: https://www.libreoffice.org/about-us/credits

Ratings and reviews

I imported a multi-sheet .ODS file including a graph. Everything displayed properly. Well done. The trouble is, with hundreds of rows it would be nice to sort or filter the data (it even showed the filter symbol at the top of the column!) A promising start, but not a patch on the Windows equivalent.

It works seamlessly with my Nextcloud app and is ideal to view and show remote files on the go, namely drafts you haven't finalized to PDF yet. UPDATE: I turned on experimental editing, and I was able to create and save a text document directly to my Nextcloud server. It saved as a generic file; I had to add the .odt extention to its name to open it again (an easy workaround). Aside from that, I'd like to see a Mobile View mode for smaller smartphone screens.

Honestly, this sucks. I have the desktop version and it works great! but then I go and copy a spreadsheet I have on my desktop onto my phone and go to view it, and the spreadsheets on this app is a joke. it is a NIGHTMARE trying to zoom in, edit in the new mode, or have anything not lag (it has next to no data btw). Everytime I try to zoom in or scroll down it looks like it's having a stroke. It frantically needs some functionality updates.
