Thank you to the skilled developers who bailed on OpenOffice when the shit stain company Oracle bought Sun, and formed LibreOffice.

I can only hope there will always be digital freedom fighters on the side of good.

I've donated to LibreOffice, and you should too, if you use their suite.

I love LibreOffice, but I wish there was an Android app. I've even considered learning more app development to try and help, but it's such a daunting task.

Check out the Collabra Office android app. It probably covers your needs.

This here. Not fully featured but a decent reader and editor which we hope will improve with time. Good effort on the devs!
