Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: LibreOffice is praised for being a free and open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, with many users appreciating its features and stability on Linux platforms. However, compatibility issues with Microsoft formats and UI design are common concerns. Performance issues, particularly in speed and document rendering, are also noted. While some users find it user-friendly and highly customizable, others criticize its outdated interface and occasional bugs. The suite continues to be a favored choice for those avoiding commercial software costs.

Not much to say afar from this being the best Free Office Suite I have ever seen. I love it as it is compatible with both MSOffice and OpenOffice files and it supports multiple languages for it's UI too.

Not perfect, but it get's 5 stars for me due to it's pricetag =D

I use it since the fork from OpenOffice and it's still as bad as it was: unstable with a lot of bugs to the point you work with it on anything more more than a simple text file and of course the UI is very bad.

I have tried so many of the alternatives. For so long I stuck to Word and then my subscription ran out. Libre Office is actually a worthy alternative. None of the others quite manage it but this one does, there is a reason why I stuck with it, even after trying so many different alternatives.

This is the Office Suite to get. It allows you to work with everyone seamlessly, not matter what platform you (and your co-workers) are on.

Free and functional, it has nothing to envy of the Microsoft suite

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

We switched to Libre Office for our small company. The initial setup has improved very much over the last years and its also much easier to switch later through the known menu styles from microsoft now. Does anything we need, also with Microsoft file formats.
