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.
The entire point of F droid is that they reliably, openly and securely build APKs which are reproducible and guaranteed to correspond to an upstream source tarball. Then they sign with their own keys since they are the ones who do the actual building
Almost always, they build the app from source themselves, unless the developer is able to provide a reproducible build, which allows the dev to distribute the binaries with their own signatures instead of the F-Droid one.
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
