★★★★★ "Edit function. 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." - PassingBy9

Useless app, don’t waste your money
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

Edit
Can’t find any way to edit
does not work
claims to edit files but it does not!! i could only view and print them! waste of my money.
spreadsheet editor is complete trash
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.
Cannot edit
If one can edit an xls file I sure couldn’t figure it out. What a rip off. I’m out of town and thought I use my iPad to update a couple files but I guess not. Thanks for taking my money
Read reviews before you purchase
Well like everyone else I cannot edit a document. Don’t waste your money
I can't find any way to edit a document
It opens the file, but then all I can do is print it. There's no way to actually edit the contents, even though it claimed you could.
OpenDocument reader
The 4.99 app does no more than the free one. Even thought it says you can edit and save, it will not.!
Can I get a refund?
App didn’t work with audio on IPAD. Is there anyway to get a refund as I will not be using it ?
Does not update document
I open a document but could not update it
LIES Lies
App does NOT let you edit a pdf! Stole my 4.99!!!
Does not work
after downloading, I attempted to open one of my ODS files, it throws an error. not worth $4 bucks, not even usable.
The developer responded that this should work, I can assure you, it doesn’t.
I’m not going to waste my time with back and forth communication with a developer. It is your job to not only develop software but to test it properly before releasing it. You win though, I like others took a chance and paid for your software, later realizing that I paid for useless software that didn’t work.

Messed up a 1 page ODG drawing
Purchased to show someone a 1 page network diagram, but all images were moved to a vertical stack on the left, distributed across 4 pages with no lines at all, absolutely worthless...
I just can’t believe it couldn’t handle a 1 page diagram with graphic images that were part of the original installation, not a single imported image.
Author should be as embarrassed as I was while I was trying to show a potential client. Please don’t apologize, just fix, test, and release a working copy, with the emphasis on TESTING!

Apparently worthless
The application displays no formatting in my file, nor does it display footnotes as footnotes-it just bunches the footnotes with the notation in the text.
First Sheet Only
When opening a multiple sheet file, only the first sheet can be viewed.
Very Disappointed
Neither Libre Office nor Open Office open correctly. Data seems to be missing on the larger of the two documents I tried. Neither was particularly large.
Worse, I could not find a user guide.
To be fair, I did not contact support, but am really annoyed with my first impression.
