Ratings and reviews

Haven't been able to connect at all. Phone app says Connection Failed. The instructions on the app to enable the remote and totally different from the instructions on the Wiki and other online sources. App says to enable remote from Tools, Options, Impress, General, but there's no mention of the tennis there to enable. The remote setting is under Slide Show Settings, like it says online. Ours is enabled, but still won't connect.

Great idea but it didn't seem to work for me. my phone is a compatible version of android, my phone was connected via Bluetooth but the app couldn't have a successful connection. The remote control was enabled in libre impress. If I'm doing something wrong I can't problem shoot it

EDIT: Settings were moved to Slide Show -> Slide Show Settings in newer versions of Libreoffice. It's a little buggy, but works. It seems to take a while for slides other than the first one to load/update over Bluetooth. Wifi seems to work better. I think this might be a limitation of Bluetooth though, not the app.

What’s new

Version 2.6.1 (v30):
