I can open an 80K word document and the program doesn't have a stroke like the one I had been using for on-the-go writing. I love love love the old school looking interface, and the few bugs I've encountered are easy to deal with. The free version is very capable on its own, and I strangely haven't encountered one ad yet! Then again, I only use the writer app and transfer my files to my PC manually. But you know what the best part is? No LLM garbage and no google/microsoft. Outstanding app!
I've only used, so far, the spreadsheet feature for making schedules. I'm new to this type of tool, & particularly to doing anything so complex on a phone. However, the experience was pleasant. My only grumbles were that merging cells could've been easier, & (this 1's likely due to my own ignorance) I had to size non-adjacent columns 1-at-a-time. Perhaps you could add an option to merge cells to the pop-up when we select multiple 1s.
This is a great little app. I used it to finish self-publishing my book after a computer failure. I highly recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to use on your tablet. The only feature I wish it had that would keep me from using it exclusively is the lack of OpenType feature support. I work in Syriac a little, and I need something that uses OpenType positioning and contextual variants. That's the only reason why it's not 5 stars for me.
All spreadsheets are somehow saved as "read only", and cannot be edited. No way to change this setting. You can only edit a copy of the file, and when IT is saved, and you open that file, it, too is only openable as Read Only. Update: I tried opening the files from inside the program, and that seems to work. It's a bit less handy than being able to find the files using file manager, and then open with, but at least that does work. Thanks to the developer for the fast response to my review!
Lots of detail and options, most of which you'll never use... Word is *slightly* better at that (for those who won't complain when Microsoft runs away with your data) if you can pay, but I actually prefer this. Amazon Apps has Writer+ which is better for general use, but this one is fine. Ads are a minor annoyance at worst, so buy if you can afford to get rid of them, but I didn't bother.
Added one star to previous rating for fixing one bug that made it impossible to save a spreadsheet after making changes. But still have the other bug: when using the stylus with my Samsung Note 8, I cannot select a single cell or any group of cells. Tapping on it doesn't work. Tapping and dragging over a group of cells doesn't work either. The whole spreadsheet jumps around when I try to do any of that. Other than that, it's a pretty good app.
The search function is extremely glitchy. I tried to type four letters into the search box (of a ~150-page .odt file), and only three letters appeared. Then, letters started slowly disappearing and then reappearing in the search box, and I couldn't get any control over this. What's more, the phone's keyboard *froze* on the screen as this was happening, and it stayed there frozen even after I quit the app.
Won't let you close without ads. Ads might be acceptable at the beginning, but when you have a reason to close an app it needs to close. Immediately. Not take over the screen in a bright and conspicuous manner, with a countdown to be able to get rid of it. Apparently somehow I made the mistake of having the phone use this app to open certain files or something. Thank you for prompting me to leave a review. I hope you like it.
Good App. Very close to being as good as Microsoft Office, but still has a lot of annoying bugs, like I can't get it to SAVE a doc I put a lot of time and effort into creating. I use the spreadsheet function more than anything else. I'm used to Microsoft Office so it was like I had to learn a new language to use "spreadsheet"... different formulas to get it to do some math for me. But hey, it's free, and it's NOT MICROSOFT (I have a love/hate relationship with them)! For that alone I'm grateful!
Hopefully the developer will read this because I am not sure how to report a bug with this app. I was looking for a writing program for my Lenovo e10 tablet. I'm a writer and was looking for the best way to continue my writing away from the house. Take out my microSD card from my computer, pop it into the tablet, and continue typing away while out to eat or the like. I got this app because it opens and saves in .odt, which is great and does that just fine. Save for one bug: After the app is open for about fifteen minutes or so the cursor stops updating my typing. The cursor doesn't blink and doesn't update on the screen until I use the arrow keys on the Bluetooth keyboard to move it and only then will it update what I've typed. I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard and android 8.1. I don't know why this is happening, but until that is fixed I can't use it. Once that is fixed then I'll use it exclusively.
Mostly works very well and is compatible with the PC version of Open/Libre Office. Panning around a spreadsheet with an area selected tends to be sluggish, and selecting an area larger than the screen can be quite awkward. Overall, however, it provides an effective Android version of the PC offering. By storing documents on Google Drive, I can access them on Android and Windows, provided that spreadsheets do not reference data from other sheets. Very useful.
As far as WinWord alternatives go, it's fairly alright (hence why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1). My problem is that it can't just open my files properly, instead having to open a copy because of "missing permissions" or some such BS. If that weren't bad enough, it insists on saving files in .odt format even when I expressly choose a different format. To top it all off, when I try to open the file on my computer, half the time I get an error message, saying the file is corrupted. Awful!
Un-installed it within five minutes... can't edit formulas. It kept insisting on replacing my semi-colon with a comma, so oddly enough, the formula didn't work! Not ready for prime time. Plus, the actual area of spreadsheet displayed is about a third of the screen; the rest is taken up by non-removable toolbars. Might be usable on a larger screen (if the above mentioned issue is resolved), but it's useless on my five-inch screen. Hope it gets straightened out, as it would be nice to be able to have my sheet immediately available (made in Open Office.) Too bad.
A fair office suite with issues. While a bit querky at times. For instance.. You cannot edit and save a file if opened by tapping the file/icon. Support informed me you can edit and save if the file is opened within the app. While help references using open office's site, they consider AndrOpen a 3rd party app not associated with them. Some controls, like the scrolls in pop-ups, tabs on a spreadsheet, etc., are so small that they are unusable. You can resize a document, but not controls.
So this is basically the desktop version, but on a mobile device. The nice thing about that is all of the features are there, nothing is missing. But the downside is that this is not optimized for the mobile format. Getting to the specific seeing you want (like even increasing font size) is more tedious than it should be. If you have a large tablet and a stylus, this may be for you. On a phone, this is just no good.
Used to work great but at some point stopped working at all. Can't open any type of file. Just hangs at the loading screen. Present over the last several updates. Tried wiping storage and data of app and uninstalling and reinstalling. Hopefully it will work again one day as it used to be a 5 star app. Edit - started working normally a while backed. Upped from 1 to 5 stars.
Installed on my 10" Acer tablet (+USB keyboard and mouse). Surprised to find that after I'd paid the one-off £12.99 (-note how cheap, Microsoft!) the program truly allowed access to OneDrive and Google Drive as promised; I loaded and saved files successfully. Only had a few hours play so far, but it is truly a pleasure to use, especially as I can customise the toolbars to my heart's content.
Polaris office 5 has way less ads. Both have the same negative though. Say you find an article you want to keep. Forget the pictures unless you put each one in manually. My clip board had everything copied perfectly, but when pasted no pics. Not even one. The other main negitive I found was this app is no good on a small screen. The S.G.S5 is a good example here. It does have a lot of nice features if you have a stylus and a screen to cast to.
Finally a phone app that lets you use Libreoffice on a phone! It still has some glitches. Shifting to another app without saving first causes me to lose data, for instance. And it would still be nice if I could use my own macros. Still, it's great to be able to carry my spreadsheets with me into the field.
Among the similar programs that I have downloaded, even from the most famous brands in this field, your program is really the best in terms of performance, interface, and appearance. Until now, every tool I needed was available for free, but I don't know why the score Your program in Google Play is lower than many weaker programs, you are right, don't worry, it's great
