Edit: the app seems to be pretty old, I like the Writer editing more (it works) but for other things, CollaboraOffice is way better.

Has anyone tried that on a tablet? The phone UI has like no features


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!

Downside: the editing features are VERY rudimentary, while the app is only about 50MB (⅕) smaller than Collabora-Office, which has better features overall.

    Cool, thanks!

    Do you know if they target different versions? Their F-Droid version is min SDK Android 5, which may indicate they target an outdated version for compatibility.

    Wait these are just links, I mean releasing the APK. On Google Play you send them your selfbuilt APK, on F-Droid they build it.

      minSdk isn’t the same as targetSdk or maxSdk.

      You can target Android 14 and still support Android 1.5 devices if you really want to. Android will enforce that you use Android 14’s security features, but you can still use the old APIs just fine on older versions of Android.

      Android uses the target SDK to determine which restrictions to impose, because if you target Android 8 then your app can’t be aware of Android 14 features so it goes into compatibility mode. But the minimum SDK doesn’t matter, it’s just there to tell users of too old Android versions that the app can’t run.
