LibreOffice Viewer is a free office suite, running smoothly on Android 4.0 and more devices. It also has many same powerful features as the Desktop version.
LibreOffice – the best free office software suite on the computer, is now available on the Android platform. This software is supported by a dynamic development community, modernized by The Document Foundation – a non-profit organization based in Germany.
Basically, LibreOffice Viewer for Android also owns many functions quite similar to the version for Windows, OS X, and Linux. It means this office suite on the phone also supports most of the popular text formats, including Open Document Format (odt, ods, and odp), Microsoft Office 2007/2010/2013 (docx, xlsx and pptx) and Microsoft Office 97/2000 / XP / 2003 (doc, xls, and ppt).
In addition, with LibreOffice Viewer, users can easily view, edit, mark, edit Writer text (equivalent to Word), Calc (equivalent to Excel), Draw (equivalent to design, draw), and Impress (equivalent to Powerpoint).
The application provides basic editing features such as modifying words in paragraphs, changing bold and italic font styles, etc. The corrections will be further enhanced in the future, with the help of the Developer community.
Besides, LibreOffice is using the same tool as LibreOffice for Windows, OS X, and Linux. This allows a new UI based on Firefox for Android to combine with reading similar documents as if you are using LibreOffice on a computer.
