About the Application
Collabora Office for Android uses the same engine as LibreOffice for Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux, but utilizes a front-end based on Collabora Online. Viewing and saving documents is similar to what you can find in the desktop application.
This shared engine helps provide a familiar document experience across desktop and mobile environments. On Android and iOS, the application focuses on mobile access while keeping the document viewing and saving behavior close to the desktop application.
The engineers of Collabora: Tor Lillqvist, Tomaž Vajngerl, Michael Meeks, Miklos Vajna, and Jan Holešovský have been developing support for Android for this application since 2012. We also acknowledge the assistance provided by some students from the Google Summer of Code project such as Andrzej Hunt, Iain Billet, and Kaishu Sahu.
