I wonder if this has something to do with the EuroOffice drama. It's too bad, this was the only decent FOSS office app for Android. Edit: Some commenters say this may not have been fully FOSS despite some of the code being published. |

EuroOffice forked it, right? Let's hope they publish it soonish. |

I don't see a fork on their account. The account description does say they're working on a mobile app though, so hopefully it's just private for now. |

@Dr_Vindaloo If it as on the github, how many people did fork it before? The source itself is still here, question is its license. |

OnlyOffice mobile app is not fully FOSS. It is impossible to build it from source, as it requires dependencies from private repos. |

Excuse me?? I'm sorry, but OnlyOffice is not FOSS. Hell, it's not even fully OSS in the first place, how are you calling it FOSS?? |

I’ve been a happy OnlyOffice user for a while now. However, if the people behind are crap, I wouldn’t mind moving to something else. I’d only want it to work easily with kDrive (cloud storage) and also be able to do light work on my iPhone. Do you know if this could be done with one of its alternatives? |

What office suite is ideal for Linux users then? Only office has been acting shady. Libreoffice, for the love of god I cannot use with that UI. If they improve the UI, I will switch to it in an instant. Now euroffice seems to have some promise but we will need to see. |

@thedormantotaku @Dr_Vindaloo Maybe I am an old boy. I have written a book with libreoffice writer. It had also embedded tables and libredraw pictures. |

I never got the hang of the UI tbh. It doesn't look polished enough. Though its functional for sure. I can do almost everything in libreoffice suite. It just feels unintuitive and uncomfortable tbh |

LibreOffice has multiple UIs to choose from and allows a huge amount of customisation, what are you on about? Did you last use it 10 years ago or something? |

Nah I have it installed rn in my Linux PC. I guess its a personal preference that I am more inclined towards onlyoffice's UI |

Source available fails on principles of open source. Such as the right to modify and distribute. |

You might enjoy LibreOffice after changing to a different UI, here's how:

As a daily LibreOffice user, I agree with you on the UI. I can't even keep track of how many different settings menus there are and each of them are a labyrinth unto themselves. What ended up saving my sanity was setting the UI to single toolbar and purging every unnecessary button in Calc and Writer. Might be unpopular, but I then arranged the remaining toolbar features the way they do in Google Docs. For Impress, I set it to the tabbed ribbon-esque interface. |
