## What is OpenDocument Reader Pro?

Read documents created using LibreOffice or OpenOffice on the go, wherever you keep them, with the Document Reader!

The file reader lets you open files like ODF (Open Document Format) documents created using LibreOffice or OpenOffice wherever you are. In the bus on your way to school wanting to look at your notes before the big exam? No problem! With the Document Reader you can open files wherever you like and read & search through your documents to go in a clean and simple way. There is a text editor in here as well, for the last typo before a document goes out. It is a young one and it does not reach every document yet, so the reader is what this app is for.

You can open files from ODF (ODT, ODS & many more) that you have created with Libre Office or OpenOffice also from within other apps. Supported apps include GMail, Google Drive, iCloud, OneDrive, Nextcloud, Box.net, Dropbox and lots of others! Or use our integrated file explorer instead to open files on your device.

### 1/5 — Hände weg

*2026-04-10*

Die App ist so schlecht gemacht, dass noch nicht einmal 0 Cent lohnen.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2026-02-25*

It’s what I needed on my iPhone, that allows me to visualise documents, excel and PowerPoint and also that allows me to make small edits, if I want a more advanced environment I would use a laptop or PC, thank you very much

### 1/5 — No Editing

*2026-02-25*

Waste of Money

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-11-01*

Installiert, LibreOffice Calc-Datei vom NAS geöffnet, konnte keine leere Zelle editieren. 
App ist für mich unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2025-08-15*

Kann die ods-Datei leider nicht öffnen wegen der ich die app für 2 Euro gekauft habe. Habe dann Collabora     versucht und damit lässt sich die Datei problemlos öffnen, ist also nicht kaputt oder so.

### 2/5 — Can see the document but text is illegible.

*2025-05-20*

I can open my ODS spreadsheets, but the formatting does not stay the same as the view on my computer.  The cells are all a very short width, causing the text to overlap itself in the cell, making it completely unreadable.

This defeats the whole purpose for having this app.

### 1/5 — Редактирование текста? Где?

*2025-01-29*

Кривое приложение, положительные отзывы натянутые донельзя! Редактирования нет как указано в аннотации, а если точнее оно кривое (текст столбцами и т.д.). И вишенка на торте - приложение платное 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

### 3/5 — Lässt Dateien nicht speichern

*2025-01-27*

Wenn ich mein Dokument bearbeite und anschließend speichere werden die Änderungen wieder gelöscht. Sehr blöd, Macht die App für mich sinnlos

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2025-01-07*

Arnaque, uniquement la visionneuse qui fonctionne. Word Excel ect ne fonctionne pas

### 1/5 — Vielleicht bin ich zu blöd

*2024-12-26*

Leider bin ich nach kurzer Zeit entsetzt und ärgere mich über den Kauf. Dokumente lesen funktioniert, aber bearbeiten geht gar nicht. In Dokumenten lässt sich der Cursor nicht positionieren- es werden immer ganze Wörter markiert und in Tabellen erreicht man eine leere Zeile zum eintragen nicht. Schade für ‚Made in Austria‘

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.42 — 2026-08-22

- Password protected Word, Excel and PowerPoint files now say so instead of just refusing to open
- Text copied from a PDF comes out as readable words, highlighting works, and more PDFs open
- Repeating table headers stay in place, wide pictures fit the screen, and images in Word and Excel files show again
- Long documents open at the top of the first page on iPad

### 1.41 — 2026-08-19

- Documents follow your light or dark appearance
- PDFs can be searched, and password protected ones ask for the password like other documents
- PDFs show what was filled into their forms, and scanned pages are no longer blank
- Tapping a document while editing puts the cursor there, and saving is now on the bar rather than in the menu
- LibreOffice's flat XML documents and Excel templates open from the document browser instead of being greyed out
- The three welcome pages are gone, so the app opens straight on your documents

### 1.40 — 2026-08-15

- A document opens fitted to the screen instead of running off the edge
- The buttons above a document no longer sit on the status bar, and the empty band below them is gone
- Editing a document is a pencil next to the search button, rather than something to find in the menu
- The way back to your documents is a chevron, as everywhere else

### 1.39 — 2026-08-15

- Slides show text that used to be invisible
- Pictures sit where the document puts them: centred where the file centres them, and inside their frame instead of adrift in the text
- Documents built on a template keep the margins it leaves free, such as the room a letterhead needs
- Spreadsheet cells use the font the file names for them
- Large documents take less memory to open
- A document whose styles are built on one another many levels deep opens instead of closing the app

### 1.38 — 2026-08-11

- Editing and saving a document no longer damages it
- CSV files open as spreadsheets, with the separator worked out from the file
- Word documents break onto the pages they were written for, and numbered lists keep their markers when you copy text out of one
- Spreadsheets are drawn in a quieter grid, under a row and column ruler that stays put while scrolling
- Documents keep the side margins of a printed page
- Documents with pictures open faster and use less memory
- XML files open properly laid out instead of as one long line
- The free app asks for advertising consent where that is required, and a new Privacy entry reopens the choice at any time
- The paid app no longer contains Google's advertising code
