Screenshots for comparison  (TextMaker, Word, LO)

At the moment there is no usable office suite on Android tablets apart from
TextMaker which shows the same Desktop-UI as on a laptop. But on a tablet in
landscape mode even word shows a much more usable UI than Libreoffice. 

The Libreoffice UI on a tablet in landscape mode is the same as on a phone in
Portrait mode. However an Android tablet is basically a Laptop, certainly not a
phone (especially if the table has a keyboard and is used in landscape mode).

The UI of LO as it is now is less than useful: it not only doesn't make good
use of the available space - it makes very bad use of it (just open the
hamburger-menu). Even if the features where there, the UI makes LO unsuitable
to even write short, very simple documents

Please allow to completely disable the oversimplified mobile UI in favor of the
normal Desktop UI (if possible) or optimize the UI for use as a professional
Text-Editor. Make use of the available space and don't treat a tablet as a
phone. 



Attachements: comparison of the main screen of TextMaker, Word and Libreoffice
(if one opens menus in Libreoffice the UI actually gets worse)
