Office HD: TextMaker FULL

★★★★★ From the perspective of a Linux user who normally uses Libre Office, and having tried a number of other Android word processors, I would have to say that TextMaker Office HD is your best option. If you want to use ODT document format, MS WORD must first convert it via the cloud---a possible security risk. Kingsoft doesn't even recognize ODT. Further, TextMaker was the only Android Office Suite to preserve my font choice of Georgia (the preferred font for e-books). Based on its handling of the ODT file format, its own (TMV), DOC and DOCX (and a variety of others) I find it to be the most functional of any competing "tablet" wordprocessor. The downsides: I don't mind the interface not being Material Design based (but it does look dated and out of place on Android -- still in the Windows XP aesthetic). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for its (what should be) easily remedied clunkiness. On the other hand, if functionality matters more to you than aesthetics, then you'll appreciate its dated familiarity. Saving files to DOC vs. ODT: When saving to ODT (and opening the file in Libre) one will see a "text boundary" that is not visible when saving to DOC. Not sure yet if this matters in any way, but it probably indicates that the devs have taken greater care with DOC rather than ODT. Textmaker HDis by far and way the most flexible and functional Wordprocessor for those not locked into Micriosoft Word.

★★☆☆☆ Advice from Softmaker support.... reinstall the app, no kidding. How about some useful advice. Office apps that work on all my tablets, microsoft office mobile, Officesuite, polaris, wps etc. Apps that crash constantly Softmaker HD. paid for softmaker HD and it is really pissing me off. Long time user of mobile version, windows version and linux, thought this would be a good move. No way, wont save or open any file, just crashes every time.

★★☆☆☆ I'm a person fairly tolerant of apps and their quirks, especially good apps for mobile OSs. I really like this app. I really love the UI and features - **BUT**.... Crashes in this condition and lost work: 1) Connected to mobile WiFi hotspot 2) LTE/4G connection dropped for a minute or two 3) Was working from Evernote There is either no auto-saved version, or, the last time it offered to re-open the auto-saved version the document it opened only had the number 4. Which admittedly is kind of funny, but nonetheless I lost an entire page of work. I do try to save every 5 minutes or so but forgot to do so. Still, I shouldn't have to save every 5 minutes or so - most modern word processors have a relatively functional auto-save features. I emailed support yesterday but so far no response. ************************ ********Update: I did receive a standard response from SoftMaker saying they would let the developers know future. In the meantime I've had to finally bite the bullet and use Google Docs since it's the only way I can really do word processing in the cloud without buying a subscription to something like MS Office.
