Libreoffice released an Android version!

www.libreoffice.org LibreOffice for Android and iOS | LibreOffice - Free and private office suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

Currently it is a "viewer" (renderer with usable UI) and editing features are experimental.

They only release their APK to Google Play for whatever reason, but you can use F-Droid to get it

Bugs can normally be reported to their bugtracker and you can join their forum for more community support!

Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.

This was released ages ago and it sucked. Surprised they're trying again with it.
- True. Still the same I guess
Wait that f-droid thing??? How is it possible if they only release on Play Store?
- The F-Droid folks might have added the source code path to LibreOffice in their build system and offer the compiled version that way, like all the other apps they distribute.
  
  Does F-Droid often sign apps they distribute? That seems odd.
I didn't realize at first that the 24 in the version number stood for the year 2024. That made the initial version being 7.6, then the next version 24.2 very confusing lol
I didn't like collabora office, I will try this asap
- Collabora is better, I am sorry XD
