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

Love that there's a FOSS option, but this app needs some work. Lag is quite bad even with the simplest of spreadsheets, it crashes with some regularity, and the dark mode doesn't function properly yet. It worked for weeks, then suddenly all of my text, despite being set to "automatic color" (meaning, with dark mode turned on, text should all be white) has suddenly switched to black, and is invisible on dark mode. Really want to love it and keep using it, but it's become too frustrating. Pixel 6

I was enjoying using this app, as it seemed much more akin to a desktop word processor than the Google Docs mobile app. But, I just reopened the book I'm working on, to find that about two hours worth of text, which I saved multiple times, is gone, and apparently unrecoverable. This is wholly unacceptable for a word processing program.

Great app. Finally found one that will let me open a password protected document. Edit: downgraded one star. When I open a file there is no option to just close the file without saving. It automatically saves it. This is a real problem as I might have mistakenly changed the file. I have to download the file from the network or make a copy just to view it so when it saves it I don't care because it's a copy.
