Ratings and Reviews
Really want to love this, if the minor issues are fixed
I love Libre Source to the point where I may actually contribute to this project, but the trackpad support on iPadOS is lackluster at best right now. I have super complex spreadsheets and I thought that using this in collaboration with my Linux desktop would work amazing. It’s actually pretty good and 99% there, but needs some minor polishing.
Dangerously easy to LOSE all of your work! UI needs major fix!
If you try to use this app in the natural way you would use any other app, you will quickly lose all of your work! Like, if you click “new, document” and type up a text document, the most obvious button to push is the check mark at the top left. You think it has saved your work, so then you click the back arrow at the top left. But is your work saved? No! Not only is it not saved but it is permanently deleted! Let’s try again, type new document, go to hamburger button top right, now you click on “save.” Surely now it is saved and it is now safe to click the back button at the top left? Wrong again! Your work was NOT saved and it is completely lost again! The only way to save your work is to find “export” and export it has something like a .doc or .pdf. I recommend doing this first thing, before you start typing. If you do this first it will save correctly. A good app would make it nearly impossible to accidentally lose your work. With this app, losing your work is the default, if you are not extremely careful. The right way would be, when clicking “new document” it should prompt you to type a title for the file and select what type of document/file it is going to be. That step would take care of the exporting first thing and then it would be saved before you even start writing
Can't open spreadsheets stored in cloud.
I wanted an office suite to replace Microsoft as I don't like their push for generative AI, and I refuse to use Google's offerings as I have privacy concerns with them. I thought Collabora office would be a good fit, since it is on every platform I need it. However, on iOS and only on iOS, I am unable to open any spreadsheet that is saved to my cloud drive. Other file formats work fine, but spreadsheets specifically refuse to open. Since such a mundane thing can't be accomplished, I have to give this app one star. If this functionality is fixed, I'll edit my review to one more appropriate.
