So far, so good…

So far, I have had pretty good luck with AO Office. I have noticed that when I open a Word or Excel (docx or xlsx) document, there are a few differences in formatting, but I was warned that that might happen, and the differences were minor. The biggest advantage of AO Office for me is that it allows me to send open source docs to Libre Office on my Linux Mint laptop. The documents all transferred flawlessly. This allows me to write on my iPad and save and edit my docs on my laptop. Overall, I am pleased with AO Office so far.

Great Alternative

I have this app on my phone works well on both platforms , only reason I marked off one start with the Magic Mouse it scrolls to quickly.

Otherwise a great app without losing storage space.

あなたね

テキストボックス置いて,また別のところを触るとまたテキストボックスができますが,ここわかりません。
だって,どこに打ってるかわからないのですから
テキストボックスはサイズ調整しようにも,テキストボックス再生成なりこの繰り返し
これは全体的にオブジェクト管理弱いし,何をどこに置いたかわからないし,困ります
インプレスの,縦向きA4にする時や選択する時に独自画面でスマホに合わせて選択したいの。iPhone iPadに合わせて,選択シート対応いただきたい

Unzuverlässig

Ein großartiger App, leider ist es schon ein paar Mal vorgekommen, dass meine eingetragene Daten trotz mehrfaches Speichern einfach verschwunden sind und den Stand auf vor 7/8 Tagen gesetzt wurde. Das macht diesen App leider unbrauchbar. Es kommt vor, wenn ich das Wlan Netz wechsle, was eigentlich kein Unterschied machen sollte, da ich das lokal auf mein iPad gespeichert hab. Echt frustrierend!

Absolument inutile, plante et ne s’ouvre jamais

J’ai voulu tester cette « suite bureautique » sur mon iPad Pro 2020 complètement à jour et toujours supporté par Apple. Une machine puissante qui fait encore le taf sans trop tirer la langue. Impossible: l’application refuse d’ouvrir quoi que ce soit et mis à part le splashscreen d’ouverture, il freeze puis plante et disparaît. J’ai redémarré l’iPad, vérifié si MAJ, desinstallé réinstallé l’app, rien à faire, elle meurt systématiquement après le screen de lancement.

Free Spreadsheet Editor

I loved the PC version. This App seems to be just as good, so far, but it isn’t easy to use. For instance freezing the header row in a spreadsheet. Two days now and I’m still trying to figure it out.

Need option to disable macro warnings plus it needs to handle libre office file formats

This works well for everything I need it to do, but the items in the title of this review. Since AOO is no longer going to be supported on Apple silicon, I had to move to Libre Office. Now I get two warnings when I try to open my spreadsheets. The first warns against macros, but there is no option to disable such warnings. Since I created the macros in this file, there’s no need for recurring warnings. Second, the file formats in Libre Office have evolved over time, and your app has yet to be updated to handle them. Please work on that!

Document version is basically unusable

I’ve only tried to use this program for editing documents, but it is awful. It’s like trying to use a word processor without a mouse, and the touch controls work very poorly. The scrolling moves a millimeter at a time, and it takes a painfully long time to do anything. I just never use this program and save the document editing for my computer.

Absolutely horrendous

1. Opened an ODT document, which I had edited earlier on a computer without any issues, and was greeted to over six thousand pages of unknown characters. Sent the file back to the computer, opened it again, it was normal. Long story short, AO Office failed to decipher a very basic document. Every other doc I tried did the same thing.
2. Asked me if I wanted to install each individual font, instead of giving me a checkbox selection or a button to install them all. No option to stop it from asking, made my battery drain while plugged in to a high power charger.
Do not recommend, you're better off using Preview.

Unbelievable

Simple word processing——can’t make auto spell turn completely off, can’t stop it from adding a capital letter to new phrases or sentences, it randomly adds the last word of one phrase to the next phrase.
SUPER Buggy.
I would PAY for Microsoft Office for an iPad. This is not it

Sehr viel Luft nach oben…

Mein Wunsch ist es, Microsoft aus meinem Leben zu entfernen, da geht es schon los, wenn ich ein Dokument öffnen möchte gibt keine Möglichkeit eine Liste der zuletzt genutzten Dokumente zu bekommen, nein, in meinem Fall klicke ich mich deshalb zum NAS und dann durch diverse Ordner durch, um endlich das Dokument öffnen zu können.
Weiter geht es mit der Kompatibilität. Ich arbeite frisch mit Libre Office, was laut Text wohl kein Problem ist, schwierig ist, dass Libre Office mit der ODF Format Version 1.4 arbeitet, man bei AO Office aber noch bei 1.2 hängen geblieben ist, OK denkt man sich, dann speichere ich das Calc Dokument halt mit Version 1.2, tja, hat nicht so wirklich funktioniert. Das öffnen des Dokuments mit AO Office hat dann ohne Fehlermeldung funktioniert, man hat etwas bearbeitet und auf Speichern gedrückt, was zur Folge hatte, dass Libre Office das Dokument reparieren wollt, aber nicht nur Libre Office wollte das, nein, auch AO Office konnte sein eigenes Dokument nicht öffnen, ohne es reparieren zu wollen!
Das war alles an einem Vormittag, also schon durchaus frustrierend.

Help!

How do I open a spreadsheet in my file?

Utilisation quotidienne

Ce logiciel fait le job, une bonne alternative à un concurrent bien plus cher. Je l’ai sur IPAD, en version pro, je ne sais pas si je dois repayer si je le mets sur mon Mac ou si le paiement fait sur lIPAD suffit

Exporting as a pdf is a premium option

IM SICK OF EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH PDF COSTING MONEY

Excelente

Excelente y muy fácil usar

It has potential

I like the simplicity of the main menu—it makes the app easy to get into without feeling overwhelming. The cloud storage support is also a big plus. I especially appreciate that it supports many different cloud services instead of locking users into a proprietary one. However, the biggest issue right now is accessibility. As someone with low vision, the app is not very friendly to VoiceOver users. I understand that porting open-source software to iOS can come with complications, but there are a few improvements that would make a huge difference. For example, many UI elements such as buttons appear to be missing proper accessibility labels for VoiceOver. Adding these labels would greatly improve navigation. In addition, VoiceOver currently cannot read the body text of documents, which makes the app difficult to use for blind or low-vision users. I have not yet tried spreadsheets or presentations, but based on the current experience I imagine they may present similar challenges. If the accessibility issues were addressed, this would easily be a 5-star app for me. The core features and design are already strong. For now, I’m giving it 3 stars and hoping accessibility improvements can be made in the future.

Very Good

I used the spreadsheet app, which was created in Libre Office, but worked well here. Some of the command window sizing is not quite right for my iPad Pro, but nothing that cannot be viewed. I had some trouble selecting “text” as cell format, but it worked in the end. So far, I’m happy enough - and I an VERY happy to see an Open Office fork for the iPad.

Unglaublich guter ersatz

Fantastisch, alter charme und alte geschwindigkeit wie von früher gewohnt! Microslop Exel hat ausgedient!

Great suite

Great app suite that works well particularly the free version. However, I purchased the full version on my iPad which works fine but after installing it on my phone I found I couldn’t find an option to restore purchase. Developer was very helpful and I have now found the option and all seems well, thanks guys!

Issues in the beginning

After writing a few sentences, and removing the keyboard, the system crashes and closes
