Some features are better than features found in Microsoft Word. I've been using Open Office Writer and Calc for years. It's been a wonderful program until just recently. I really like the user interface and features overall. I've been using OpenOffice for many years and never really had a problem until the last few months, as the crashing has been increasing to be more and more frequent. I'm not sure if it's an issue with their site or not but since they don't respond to inquiries I cannot determine a possible cause for the problem.My overall experience, until it seemingly somehow led to my computer now being unable to start, has actually been great. I usually get weird links with garbled codes and no template when trying to download a template. I have also found it very difficult to impossible to download templates. I am not sure how often they update their online guides but I have never found it to be helpful. Even when using the search field the instructions often do not match the app. It is very difficult to locate information. Along with the features and subscriptions issues that needed to be addressed, another area of improvement is their website. I hesitate to call the company a scam but I can say I have contacted LibreOffice numerous times over the past year about the ongoing issues and have not received a response at least once. I think LibreOffice has greater potential but a user must get the features they paid for. Even with a paid premium subscription, I am unable to create labels.

I would not use this as my primary app for Word processing which is where I am experiencing the majority of the blocked features issues. I can only recommend the free version because even with a premium subscription, which mine is supposed to expire on 10/22/21 (the date of this review is 08/04/21), I have yet to be able to utilize the premium features I paid for last year. I have contacted LibreOffice several times over the year and they never responded or provided a refund.

I have premium yet every time I try to access a premium feature it requests me to pay. The upper right-hand corner of the app shows the subscription type and date of expiration of the subscription. My greatest disappointment is that I paid for the premium version a year ago but never received the features that were supposed to be available with a premium subscription. However, many of the features or functions are difficult to find even when utilizing the help menu. It's compatible with MS Office applications. LibreOffice is a good alternative to MS Office.
