It was developed primarily by Andrzej Hunt during the 2012 Google Summer of Code. Impress Remote is an open source Android app that enables remote presentation control for LibreOffice Impress.

The Impress Remote Android app turns your Android smartphone into a remote control for a LibreOffice Impress presentation, vastly enhancing your talk. Meanwhile, the work on the desktop version of LibreOffice advances, so if you install the app on Windows, Linux, and macOS, you should be able to work with documents just the way you do it in Microsoft Office, all without having to pay a fortune to own the suite.Theres nothing like a snazzy presentation to spruce up a talk or a lecture. This is not yet ready for widespread usage, but work is ongoing,” TDF explains. “For more technically-oriented users: our developer community has been working on a mobile app, LibreOffice Viewer for Android, which also includes experimental editing support. TDF says that Collabora is currently offering a LibreOffice-based application in app stores, so you can install this one if you want the familiar LibreOffice experience on mobile.įurthermore, the dev community is also working on a LibreOffice mobile app that can already view documents and which features an early version of document editing capabilities. In other words, the desktop continues to be the priority going forwards, albeit you can actually work with documents on your mobile without having to install Microsoft Office.

The Document Foundation says it’s not working on mobile versions of LibreOffice, as the focus right now is delivering the best experience on the desktop. Because LibreOffice is the main alternative to Microsoft Office, and Microsoft’s suite is also offered on Android and iOS, not having mobile apps is clearly a drawback. LibreOffice is currently the top alternative to Microsoft Office, and it’s available on Windows, Linux, and macOS without any fee, which makes it the preferred choice not only for home users, but also for organizations worldwide.Īnd while the desktop version of LibreOffice keeps improving regularly, many expect The Document Foundation to also release mobile app that would allow them to work with documents on smartphones.Īnd this makes total sense.
