Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Loading libre office on my iPad

I run Android tablets, along with Windows and Linux computers.

I would love to see a version of LibreOffice for tablets, instead of the 
viewer.  I use either the "AndrOffice" [or whatever it is called now] 
and MS Word for Android - until LibreOffice for Android is completed.

Remember that LibreOffice - as a brand - is not too many years old.  It 
takes a lot of work to port LO to either Android or IPad/Phone IOS.  Not 
only it needs to be modified to use these OSs, but there has to have 
many of its functions removed.  Since LO installs 
Writer/Calc/Impress/etc. all-in-one, there may need to have Writer and 
Calc [etc.] as separate installs.  For tablets, and other hand-held 
devices, have limited internal/external memory constraints that 
traditional devices have access to.  Also, for me, I do not use LO's 
modules other than Writer and Calc.  So, I would not need to install 
anything else to my Android tablet, maybe not even Calc for the tablet.

As for FREE Microsoft apps, I really wonder what MS gets out of this.  
Of course I seem to be getting A LOT of spam phone calls since I "signed 
up" for the free apps.  I stopped using MS Office since the 2003 version.

I have been using LibreOffice since it first came out, and Linux as my 
default OS since 2009 or 2010 - depending on the system.

I use Windows 10 on laptops as my second partition/boot - and only when 
I need to use Windows only hardware/software.
