Q: Why is Open Document Format not supported on Apple machines?
I understand it's a standard that will ensure documents will work in future generations of office software, across platforms. It seems short-sighted of Apple not to support this international standard.

I am still on IOS 8.4.1, and came across an IOS App Store application by the name of OOReader — which will open and display OpenOffice/LibreOffice documents. I sent myself an .odt as an attachment, and although Apple IOS Mail still doesn't know what to do with it, after you double-tap it to unzip it, you can press and hold on the .odt icon, and a list of supporting applications will be presented — among them OOReader. The .odt document with equations opened perfectly in OOReader. I used the free version of OOReader.
I have no personal or financial interest in OOReader.
