Libreoffice released an Android version!

www.libreoffice.org LibreOffice for Android and iOS | LibreOffice - Free and private office suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

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!

Youtube Demo Video

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
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
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.
I didn't like collabora office, I will try this asap
- Collabora is better, I am sorry XD
