I wonder if this has something to do with the EuroOffice drama. It’s too bad, this was the only decent FOSS office app for Android.
Edit: Some commenters say this may not have been fully FOSS despite some of the code being published.

FOSS office app for Android.
OnlyOffice mobile app is not fully FOSS. It is impossible to build it from source, as it requires dependencies from private repos.
Excuse me?? I’m sorry, but OnlyOffice is not FOSS. Hell, it’s not even fully OSS in the first place, how are you calling it FOSS??
i had no idea. i assumed since the source code appeared to be on github (along with releases), it was.
Source available fails on principles of open source. Such as the right to modify and distribute.
EuroOffice forked it, right? Let’s hope they publish it soonish.
I don’t see a fork on their account. The account description does say they’re working on a mobile app though, so hopefully it’s just private for now.
@Dr_Vindaloo If it as on the github, how many people did fork it before? The source itself is still here, question is its license.
Collabora office
What office suite is ideal for Linux users then? Only office has been acting shady. Libreoffice, for the love of god I cannot use with that UI. If they improve the UI, I will switch to it in an instant. Now euroffice seems to have some promise but we will need to see.
LibreOffice has multiple UIs to choose from and allows a huge amount of customisation, what are you on about? Did you last use it 10 years ago or something?
Nah I have it installed rn in my Linux PC. I guess its a personal preference that I am more inclined towards onlyoffice’s UI
You might enjoy LibreOffice after changing to a different UI, here’s how:
Select a preferred user interface variant as follows:
Open a LibreOffice module to change the user interface.
Go to View > User Interface on the Menu bar to open the Select Your Preferred User Interface dialog (Figure 12).
Select the preferred user interface from the options available in UI variants. A preview of the selected user interface is displayed in the dialog.
To use the selected user interface for all LibreOffice modules, click on Apply to All.
To only use the selected user interface for the LibreOffice module that is open, click on Apply to {Module}, for example Apply to Writer.
Click on Close to close the dialog.

@thedormantotaku @Dr_Vindaloo Maybe I am an old boy. I have written a book with libreoffice writer. It had also embedded tables and libredraw pictures.
The collabora android apps are pretty good
I’ve been a happy OnlyOffice user for a while now.
However, if the people behind are crap, I wouldn’t mind moving to something else.
I’d only want it to work easily with kDrive (cloud storage) and also be able to do light work on my iPhone.
Do you know if this could be done with one of its alternatives?
@Dr_Vindaloo Btw, actuall what made libreoffice/openoffice so hard to port to android?

Does OnlyOffice have an OnlyFans account?
well, OF must have offices so…
