Hey, I've been using collabora to edit/open some spreadsheets on android but it's honestly becoming a bit of a pain for me, freezing and blanking some cells being the big ones, and so I'm looking for an alternative. I tried excel without network access and it works but I do have to clear storage everytime to bypass the "signin prompt" that shows up randomly when opening a spreadsheet which disables editing, so I would like to avoid that too if it's possible.

I've only ever used Collabora via the CODE server on my nextcloud instance, which has worked without issues on both desktop and mobile. Though that obviusly isn't accessible without setup, or when offline, even.

Is there an issue tracker for Collabora somewhere? Are these problems known?

If not, reporting your problems is step one towards getting them fixed. I'm not really finding alternatives either, so that will likely be faster than waiting for a whole nother FOSS office suite app to pop up.

I'm not sure in all honesty but I'll look around. I'm just always hesitant to bring up issues to devs but I guess since there isnt an alternative I'll have to, if it isnt already. Worst case I'll just do everything on libre calc and export my spreadsheet to a format I can open up on my phone. Thanks for the help
