I was hoping to use this to edit LibreOffice Writer documents with my iPad, but it’s completely unusable. To its credit, the app did a wonderful job of locating files and scanning apps, even seeing a wireless-connected USB stick, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately, when I loaded one of the documents (created with LOW Portable 6.x on Windows), it came up as utter garbage on the screen. Multiple lines of text overwrote each other, the “page” display area was broken, and the result was just a complete mess. The interface looks pretty, but that’s the best I can say about it.

Does not work well with the iPad keyboard (arrow keys simply ignored) or with the Apple Pencil (instead of simply selecting text, it will select and then delete the text - with no apparent way to change this behavior). These two issues make editing a nightmare. Trying to insert a hyperlink doesn't work properly; once the window pops up, if you try to click on a field to enter text, the window just disappears). After about 30 minutes trying to use this app I just gave up.

I tried to do a simple spreadsheet, just a column of numbers. Not sure how to even enter each value, one row at a time. I was finally able to enter a value in the first cell, but not very intuitive, nothing like Excel, or even LibreOffice. I’m sure there’s something I’m missing, but there’s no Help available. It also locked up my iPad, the only thing I could do was force power-down. Hopefully LibreOffice will come to IOS !!!
