Is there an app or several apps that will compete with office. I no longer care abt MS and their problems. I want to use software from companies that care enough about their clientele that offer support. All I can get from MS Outlook after the outage is Chat is LOADING going on a week now.
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
LibreOffice covers Word and Excel very well. My excel spreadsheets and macros transferred across OK with minimum intervention and they are similar enough and well supported online for the learning time to be short. I can't speak for the Libre Office Power Point and Database apps cos I don't use them. There's a drawing app too - but I don't know if it's compatible with Visio. There's tons of help and info online. LibreOffice is free so you could try it and see. It doesn't do email or other messaging stuff but Apple Mail is OK for me.
The native Apple apps Page (word processor) and Numbers (spreadsheet) are OK but Numbers will be a disappointment if you do anything complex in Excel.
Here are some macOS alternatives to Microsoft Office.
I’ve used a mix of iWork Pages and its related apps, as well as Scrivener for writing, occasionally LibreOffice, and had used Apache OpenOffice in previous years.
iWork Pages, Numbers, and Keynote can read snd write most Microsoft Office documents, and LibreOffice can sometimes read some that Office itself can’t.
I'm usually moving to a database, if I’m getting deep into a spreadsheet. SQLite or MariaDB, usually. (I do miss Bento.)
Good point, I missed that.
The Collabora app can edit LibreOffice docs on iPhone and iPad. I've only used it for spreadsheets and found it great for entering data and editing formula and modifying existing spreadsheets. I find the interface a bit clunky, but then I'm a keyboard user and don't really like touch screens, so it might be me, but I think I'd struggle to create a complicated spreadsheet from scratch. I've never used it with docs or presentations so can't comment on its capabilities there.
The most likely answer when using Apple devices is Pages (word processing), Numbers (spreadsheet), Keynote (presentation) and Apple Mail.
I note that you posted in the iPhone for Business and Education community and listed an iPad as your device. Be aware that Libre Office does not currently offer apps for iPhones or iPads.
any app comparing with MS Office
