Hi,
Can anyone recommend an Android app to open and edit Writer files, or both Writer and Calc files?
Thanks very much in advance.
Thank you @ajlittoz and @mikekaganski .
I have used Collabora once before on a device I had temporarily and at the time it was the only one recommended following an extensive web search. It seemed to work. I will try it again now and report back later.
In the meantime if anyone can recommend an alternative please could you post it here.
The purpose for me is to open files on a NAS with an Android tablet, edit them and save them back to the NAS.
Thanks.
There is also Collabora Office for Android. It is based on LibreOffice technology (version 7.1 at the moment), supports text, spreadsheet and presentation documents, and has rich editing functions.

As far as I remember, there is a LibreOffice Viewer available in application stores. You can display Writer and Calc files at least (from personal experience) provided you don’t use “advanced” features and your documents are “clean”, i.e. not too much direct formatting and properly styled.
This viewer lags a few versions behind current releases for Linux, Widows and MacOS. Latest version I could find was uploaded in 2018 and is in 6.1 series (while current release for traditional OS’s is in the 7.3 series).
It is a viewer primiraly. You can enable edit feature at your own risk. It is experimental and may damage your documents.
