"Great Free Alternative to Word, Impressive Ease of Use"
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

I find LibreOffice to be an indispensably essential tool, providing an outstanding free alternative to Microsoft Word. In the five years that I've been using it, I've transitioned across three different computers, and LibreOffice has consistently been the first application I install. I love how easy it is to begin working on documents; you simply launch the app, create a new document, and start writing without any hassle. LibreOffice's free cost is a significant advantage, especially since it offers the same functionalities as Microsoft Word. The seamless ability to export text files directly into .docx and .pdf formats from within the application, without relying on external software, is incredibly convenient. I also appreciate the table creation feature and the availability of ready-made document templates, likely crafted by skilled designers, that help streamline my work. Additionally, its all-in-one suite nature means I don't need to rely on any other software for my document needs. LibreOffice remains one of the best PC applications I've ever used, meriting a perfect recommendation rating from me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

I would update the user interface to be a bit more 'rounded', similar to Word, by incorporating some animations to enhance the overall aesthetic. Additionally, implementing a cloud storage option potentially based on TeraBox would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open Source LibreOffice democratized office productivity for all"
What do you like best about LibreOffice?

LibreOffice is free and open source, without the bondage that Microsoft 365 imposes by online subscriptions, and without the platform specificity of Apple Pages/Numbers/Keynote combo. It is an integrated office productivity suite that just works, especially on decent and modern hardware, whether Mac, Windows or Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about LibreOffice?

Given that it is a monolithic tool that combines word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and more, it will have a large codebase and so you do need a decently modern hardware to run this well, especially if you are using it for large documents such as writing/editing textbooks or spreadsheets.
