Editing odt LibreOffice files on iOS (apart from Collabora)

Is there any way to edit LibreOffice files on iOS apart from Collabora, which looks horrible (font rendering for example), is missing many features (integration with Google Drive is flakey), and is very slow?


I’m not after advanced wordprocessing stuff, just something that doesn’t cause me physical pain to use, unlike Collabora?


TIA

iPad, iPadOS 18

There is no native support for the Open Document standard formatted documents (e.g. ODT) on macOS or i/Pad/OS. Apple Pages for these platforms does not support it. Although Apple's TextEdit on macOS can open them, I don't consider it a workable solution.


There are some applications in the i/Pad/OS App Store that allege to open and edit these document types, but I do not use this format, nor those applications. The free web-based version of Microsoft Word can open and probably save them.


Alternatively, don't use ODT saved files from LibreOffice. Use Microsoft Word 2010 - 365 docx formats.
