Best iOS spreadsheet and office suite (short of the costly MS office apps)
Thanks Collabora for finally creating an IOS office suite app that rivals the MS suite with both quality and Windows file compatibility, but for free! (My accountant also thanks you!!) A very few minor bugs, all of which I've been able to work-around. I'm sure they will be fixed sometime soon, as it is so obvious that a lot of time, care, and talent has gone into the crafting of this excellent app, and with so many very recent updates too. Note to a dissatisfied rater: To move the toolbar off of the first rows of the spreadsheet, just click on the "edit" icon, which is a pencil in the lower right. To the folks at Collabora: May you and this most excellent app live long and prosper! Where can I send a donation? Scott Perry

LibreOffice on the go!
6/23/20: new update brings the app to top tier - more than the functionality you need to create top notch files from your iPhone. Very small learning curve but equals/exceeds its Microsoft counterpart. Kudos development team!

Logitech folio with keyboard not supported
This app looks great and opens up my PCs LibreOffice spreadsheet without any problems. Unfortunately, the Logitech folio keyboard for the iPad Pro (11” 2019 version iPad Pro) doesn’t seem supported. None of the keys on the keyboard do anything. The Logitech keyboard works fine on all my other apps (using it right now to type this), so it’s just Collabora.
