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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — Documents won't save? *2024-10-15* I appreciate the work put in to make something like this for iOS. The app works for the most part, except when I save a document, it still exits without (or doesn't remember?) my saved changes. Anything I write, it exits and discards my changes regardless whether I hit yes or no before closing (even if it says "Document saved"). I am on iOS version 17.6.1. ### 2/5 — Edit function *2024-09-22* This app can open .odt files, and gives an option to edit, but it is nearly 100% useless. If you only want to read the .odt file, then it is passable, but I’d say again, it is worthless for editing and saving any changes. ### 1/5 — 1,99 € für nichts *2024-09-22* App nach 5 Minuten wieder gelöscht. Tabellen werden in iOS nicht richtig angezeigt, was jetzt bei einer kostenlosen Konkurrenz einwandfrei möglich ist. ### 1/5 — Não comprem essa farsa *2024-07-31* Não caiam nessa mentira! Não dá para editar os documentos. Apertamos em editar e sequer aparece o teclado para editarmos. É um aplicativo mentiroso que não serve para absolutamente nada!!! ### 1/5 — Fehlkauf *2024-07-27* Spart euch das Geld, die App taugt nichts! P.S.: „Sternelos“ bewerten geht (ja) leider nicht …. ### 1/5 — Horrível *2024-04-26* Descaceta o doc todo ### 1/5 — Herausgeschmissenes Geld *2024-01-29* Mit dieser App funktioniert nichts. ### 1/5 — Useless app, don’t waste your money *2023-03-03* App can’t edit any of your Libre Office files on the iPad or the iPhone and the dev team can’t be bothered to do anything about it. I use ODS file formats and like the others who left reviews in the last year, the same issues with editing files still exist. This dev team can’t be bothered to help or make any updates, use your money elsewhere ### 1/5 — Tracking meiner Person??? *2023-02-26* no way! ### 1/5 — Edit *2023-02-23* Can’t find any way to edit ### 1/5 — does not work *2023-01-23* claims to edit files but it does not!! i could only view and print them! waste of my money. ### 1/5 — spreadsheet editor is complete trash *2022-10-01* you call that an edit function? it not only opened the spreadsheet with awful formatting but editing any cell is so incredibly hard to so, this is not a spreadsheet editor this is false advertising. can't even edit pdf files. ### 1/5 — Keine Formatierungen möglich, überhaupt kaum Funktionen *2022-08-01* Finger weg. Zahle gerne, wenn ich etwas adäquates dafür bekomme, aber diese App bietet quasi nichts, was über die vorinstallierte Notizen App hinausginge. ### 3/5 — Formatting issues *2022-01-19* Spreadsheets not formatting correctly, text on top of itself, opening a ods doc is a little bit better but still has text issues. ### 1/5 — Bearbeiten geht nicht, nur lesen😡😡 *2021-11-16* Warum kann ich keine Datei bearbeiten? 5€ los und kann nix damit anfangen… **Developer response:** Hallo, die App erlaubt es Dokumente im ODF (ODT, ODS und ODP) Format zu bearbeiten. Welches Format würdest du gerne bearbeiten? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hände weg *2026-04-10* Die App ist so schlecht gemacht, dass noch nicht einmal 0 Cent lohnen. ### 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. ### 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 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ ### 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‘ ### 1/5 — Cannot put new lines into an .odt *2024-12-09* Rubbish! Money back please! ### 1/5 — Не работает *2024-10-23* В описании написано что это редактор, но ничего редактирует. Приложение с первой же секунды начало зависать и глючить. Непонятно за что отдали деньги. ### 1/5 — Не работает так как должно *2024-10-05* Тормозит при открытии файла более 100 мегабайт, тормозит при работе с файлом, не прогружает картинки, вместо кириллицы в названиях вкладки просто набор символов! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Bin it. *2022-01-14* Granted I’ve only had an iPhone for seven months but this has to be the most annoying junk I’ve come across. It will do what it claims but only when you sign up for the premium version. I saved documents from Pages to it only to find to edit them I have to sign up. The reference in the app description to Libre Office is bogus. The app has nothing to do with Libre Office so why they may say it in the description is a scandal which only Apple might explain. In general my feeling is there’s something wrong with the Apple set up when it comes to documents. Like another manufacturer of mobile phones people may have heard of (Mountain View, California) there appears to be a reliance on home made extensions instead of ones the proud parent of an iPhone can send to people whom God in his wisdom has yet to bless with said device. ### 5/5 — 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 *2021-11-24* 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Ok danke für die Antwort *2021-09-14* Dann wart ich bis das update kommt .. ansonsten viel erfolg . **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback, ODM support sollte auf jeden Fall machbar für uns sein. Wir werden das in einem zukünftigen Update nachreichen. In der Zwischenzeit kannst du eine Rückerstattung bei Apple anfragen. ### 5/5 — Imports OpenOffice beautifully *2021-03-05* I can import OpenOffice documents and spreadsheets easily and with good results. And I can then copy the documents to other apps such as Pages and Numbers. So I find this app useful. It took me a while to find out how to edit a document and also how to find the document once saved. It defaulted to storing on the cloud which was easy to change from iPad settings. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear you like the app. You can edit ODT, ODS and ODP documents via the edit-icon in the bar on the top. Let me know if that works for you. Feel free to contact me at support@opendocument.app ### 5/5 — Top Software *2021-01-15* Sehr gut! ### 5/5 — Supports libraoffice docs *2020-09-26* I have several documents in my dropbox account that I created with LibraOffice. This is the only way I found to view these documents on my iPad. This is one app I consider indispensible. ### 5/5 — LibreOffice Betrachtet *2020-08-24* Nützliches Tool um Open Office Dokumente zu öffnen, und zu bearbeiten. Einfach und gut. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2020-01-17* Otimo ### 5/5 — Love love love *2019-12-07* 10/10 even though it closes down by itself from time to time. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback! We are aware of that problem. If you have any specific steps to share with us that cause the app to close every time I would love to hear about it at support@opendocument.app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
