LibreOffice Writer on rollApp

This website is a SCAM they are using free opensource applications & asking for paid money subscriptions to use them from their server. WARNING do not use.

Requires a "premium subscription" to properly use an app that was DESIGNED TO BE FREE. Will attempt another way, likely using Linux on my Chromebook to run my files.

I love the look and feel of it, but there's a bug in it that makes the cursor soar across the screen and random letters fly out of it. Re-booting doesn't help. Re-installing doesn't help. The program's "Help" doesn't address the problem.

rollApp sucks. It is completely pointless, it keeps prompting for cash, it is laggy, buggy and unreliable.

As with all rollApp "apps", it's basically a remote desktop connection where you're viewing a controlling LibreOffice which is running on a server somewhere. It's slow, really annoying to type on, and they want to you pay to get a faster experience. I've also lost files with a few of their "apps", saved files that just disappeared and more more more. Just don't waste your time with this. You can't even use it offline. At least you can use the Micosoft Word/Excel apps offline and it actually runs ON your computer!

makes no sense at all to me. Just download Libre Office (free) to your machine and forget Microsoft's pay-for products. LibreOffice does it all and more!

Crap software for a chromebook. Can't insert images into a ppt. Useless

Useless to me as it would take my files to cloud. I have enough memory to store my files, even though I paid Google and NSA for storage space.

Impossible to use. Totally user unfriendly.

NOT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

As others have said forcing people to save to their own pre-existing cloud is obnoxious at best.

Really, selling free software as an expensive service? At least warn people so they don't waste their time on it. If I wanted online I would use google docs.

why would anybody pay for a service that offers you a otherwise free service... there are equivalents that work with chrome and chrome os that are also free... don't be duped by rollapp who is completely against what libreoffice stands for

Considering the whole idea of Libre Office being a "project of the not-for-profit organization," who "believe in the principles of Free Software and in sharing their work with the world in non-restrictive ways," (taken from the Next Decade Manifesto of LibreOffice), this ad-filled, subscription-requiring, monopolizing is completely against what LibreOffice is. A monthly subscription to rollApp? Completely useless.

Very slow......

Too slow to be useful. Slow meaning 20 second response to keystrokes. Looks like it might work OK if the speed issue could be resolved. Uninstalled...

What a pain

I Love libreoffice but this rollapp is crap- dumb commercials when you try and open excetra. Don't waste your time with this nonsense.

Wouldn't even let me use the editor on my chromebook.

It FROZE! couldn't save or email my document!! MAD! MAD! MAD!

I used it on my chromebook - once. I saved the document and never found it again. It is not a good app for a chromebook.

bed connection

I'm sorry, I really want this to work. I have so much invested in Libreoffice, presentations for praise songs in the church, etc, but it is so slow and clunky. I'd use Google Docs, Presentations and Sheets , but they do not read ODF files. I need this app to work better or for Docs to read ODF. :-(

The app kept closing on me with common functions such as saving a document. Took a long time to open up and every screen operation such as resizing required a rewrite of the screen taking more time. This app is too flukey and not ready for prime time. I'll stick with Google Docs.

i didnt really like it

Personally , I like this word processor ... Works well ...

It might be used for quick view, not to work with documents.
