I bought a new android phone, now it wants me to download Microsoft 365 for certain file types. My question is: Are there other apps that are better than Microsoft for documents on Android.?

Edit: Thanks for the quick responses. Currently trying Collabora.

Collabora office from f-droid app store First install f-droid or (better) droid-ify on your phone

Is there a specific repo for it? I can't seem to find it with a search on F-Droid

I think droid-ify already includes the repo.

Libre office mobile is bad, but it works better than Microsoft office mobile

I have Collabora office installed. It's very good.
I've only ever had a small inconvenience with it, that I was not able to make x vs y charts. Maybe someone here knows any settings or solution for that?

I've also heard about Only Office.

Are you talking about editing the files or just managing them?

Viewing or editing.
