About the app:

Collabora Office for Android uses the same engine as LibreOffice for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This, combined with a new front-end based on Collabora Online, reads and saves documents similarly to LibreOffice desktop.

Collabora Engineers Tor Lillqvist, Tomaž Vajngerl, Michael Meeks, Miklos Vajna, Jan Holešovský, Mert Tümer and Rashesh Padia have been developing Android support since 2012, with the help of Google Summer of Code students Andrzej Hunt, Iain Billet and Kaishu Sahu.

Ratings and reviews

I'm changing my review to 3 stars because of the recent update to the app. Many of the things I had an issue with (slow to open, clearing cell contents doesn't work, not saving changes, etc), seem to be fixed now, but there are still lots of other issues that make it difficult to use consistently (scrolling issues, slow performance after opening, etc). I would like to see an update schedule that is more frequent than once a year, though.

As an alternative to docs with the way Google is going, I'm going to stick with this. However, I would love to see dark mode capabilities in the actual document writer, not just the file select screen. Another con is it doesn't seem to implement my keyboards autocorrect features (typing lower case i and it not auto capitalizing as an example) so integration of that might be a nice feature in the future Overall, a decent application given some of the more difficult UI's out there.

On one hand this is the most fully featured libreoffice-writer-alike that does not feature bad subscription monetization. On the other hand, even on a Moto G Power it's kind of slow(the writer view seems to update at like 20 frames), and there is a fairly obnoxious bug. Say you write out a paragraph, and later find a word you want to replace. Fairly normal, tap to place the cursor in front of the word - but it only deletes one character. You have to tap AGAIN to delete more characters. Not cool.
