Collabora Office, a LibreOffice with all its tools comes to Android and iOS thanks to Collabora

When we talk about office suites, the first thing that comes to mind for decades is Microsoft Office. It has been and continues to be the most legally and illegally downloaded suite on the vast majority of computers, which we remember use Windows operating systems, but there are also other options such as Apple's iWork or Google services. On the other hand, LibreOffice, which is installed by default in many Linux distributions, is an open source option that we can already use on mobile devices under the name of Collaborate Office.

Most users do not like changes. For this reason, many Linux and macOS users use one of the options available to work in Microsoft Office on systems other than Windows, so it is likely that they will end up accessing the service available in office.com. And those of us who have already made LibreOffice, when we want to use it on a mobile device we have to use other options ... or that was the case until recently, because Collabora has ported the most popular free office suite so that we can use it on Android and iOS.

Collabora Office: LibreOffice for mobile operating systems

Collabora Office is an open source office suite that is based on LibreOffice. The difference between this and other tools that were available is that Collabora includes all kinds of editing tools, not like the others that were basically a document viewer, which did not make much sense if we take into account that many documents can be read natively.

Collabora Office has designed to be easy to use on mobile devices and tactile. The user interface has been based on Collaborate Online, which we could say is the Collabora version of the aforementioned office.com. The main difference with Collabora Online, and how could it be otherwise considering that it is about apps, is that Collabora Office works without an internet connection.

If you are interested in using Collabora Office on your Android or iOS device, you can download it from this link Android version and from this other the version for iPhone or iPad.
