We’re working hard to get our 23.05 release out on Android, the current version is extremely old - as you’ve noticed 🙂 You can download and try out our latest development snapshots here - would be great to have more testing & feedback:

Thanks.

Hey @yourmother , welcome to the forum. 🙂

Your device is an “arm64” device.

So, if you visit the [“Collabora Office Android Snapshot” page](https://www.collaboraoffice.com/downloads/Collabora-Office-Android-Snapshot/)…

1. Look for the latest one that says:

- `arm64-v8a`

1. Then pick the one with the newest date.

As of today, it’s:

- collabora-office-mobile-23.05-snapshot- **arm64-v8a-2023-09-06**.apk

* * *

**Note:** You can break the filenames down into 3 key parts:

- The name of the version
  - `Collabora` + blah blah blah + `23.05`
  - = Collabora Office 23.05 Android files!

- The “architecture” of your phone
  - `arm64-v8a`

- The date
  - `2023-09-06` = September 6th, 2023

* * *

**Note #2:** Also pay attention, because:

- There are currently 10 of the latest builds showing.
- They are sorted roughly by oldest-\>newest
  - So last week’s 2023-08-26 shows up higher than today’s 2023-09-06.

You could [sort by the “Last Modified” column](https://www.collaboraoffice.com/downloads/Collabora-Office-Android-Snapshot/?C=M;O=D) to make it a little easier.

Hello, thanks for the replays.  
So collabora from google playstore is slow en freezes sometimes, but its workable.  
These apk are a lot worse. i barely can scroll down a page.  
Its looks like its suck up all the ram on my phone immediately. is this possible?

i also tried onlyoffice and wps office and both don’t show any of these problems at all and work perfectly fine.  
So why does Collabora this?

Thanks for testing the latest!

- Is it a specific DOCX or ODT document? Or all documents?
- Can you share that problematic document?

Once we get a problematic sample, then we could do more testing to see _exactly_ what the slowdown/freezing issue is.

Good question.  
its mostly happens with .xls and .ods documents.  
i also notice backspace does not work.  
But that is with all kind of documents. (.dox, .odt, .xls, .ods)
