Working very well
I use LibreOffice from many years and I think it just works very well.
Sometimes there is some bug on new release and for this reason I suggest to use only stable release version of the software.
I wish a free version of LibreOffice will be soon available on Microsoft Store without having to pay for it since it sounds really strange that a free open source software ask for a payment just to be installed from Microsoft Store.

Awful
Awful!
Lost important Documents as settings are reset on upgrade. I thought about buying from the Apple Store and it's £8.99 with a 3.1-star review.
I understand the version I am using is free, but it's so hit-and-miss whether it works and whether you lose Documents. I won't be recommending its use any more to customers in my IT Store. I am now back to using corporate software as I cannot afford to spend hours re-writing important documents. Disappointed in not the word.

Impossible to rename files
I was super excited at first. Free document and spreadsheet software, compatible across platforms?! Awesome! And then after working with it for a few weeks I needed to rename a file. Simple, right?! I found several different descriptions online, but none of them actually worked. Such a basic thing to need to do, and evidently completely impossible.

Not a really good application due to…
Not a good application due to this NAGGING inconvenience (if it is fixed then it would then be a really good application) :
In typing a text of about 20 pages, it is stopped sporadically by the forward move of a GREEN line appearing suddenly at the bottom of the page EVERY 5 minutes, sometimes even LESS (other applications don’t have this nagging thing).
It might be due to either programming weakness. Or it could be due to some nonsensically fanciful way of programming design, willing to sporadically relax the processing of the working load being handled - which is plain redundant as computers now are not the ones of the 90's !
Besides, letters are not nicely set together : particularly the "s" and the "t"; these 2 letters are tightly close to other ones in any word one types, so that one has to use "character spacing" in the item "Format" to fix this defect. But even this tool is not well programmed at all as it affects all other letters in the word in question, at the same time, sometimes even all the letters in those words that are near that word. One only succeeds to fix that defect after many tests to get those 2 letters not "glued" to others. So, they provide a tool to fix it, but it's not a smooth tool at all. The point here is that why most of other letters are set with proper space between them, with a particular exception of those 2, in any word? A defect in the programming itself or it's just a heavy lack of graphic sense of lettering that is the cause?
... And a new version does not always mean a better version; without mentioning that it can cause the formatting in all documents done with the previous one to get askew as to space between paragraphs.
The above problems, if and only if fixed well enough, would then make this application deserve 5 stars as it can be used to design book covers, through the various tools available, by first inserting photos (JPG file format, say transferring from cell phone) in its page document.

It's free and good…
Five stars because it is free and almost as good as MS Office. I like being back in the old office ui, I never really liked the MS ribbon. Libreoffice does do it's own version of the ribbon. I've never tried it.
I cancelled my Microsoft Office subscription as I have retired and no longer need or want to pay for it. Libreoffice isn't far behind. One complaint I have seen is the open document formula is not recognised across all office software, It's easy enough to save the documents as Microsoft Office files, which is what I do with any documents I wish to share.

How can I format documents that can be opened by others
I have a few documents which are saved as ODF files and no one can open them if sent as an email attachment. I have tried to save them as PDF but nothing works. I can not save them as word documents either. How can this be handled???

LibreOffice is a great alternative to MSOffice…
LibreOffice is a great alternative to paid office software. I've been using it for a long time now and I have witnessed the improvement through the years. Kudos to the men and women behind this excellent software. Thank you.
