LibreOffice users might want to note that Nick Heath at *Tech Republic* places it *first* of the five free apps he recommends those who have installed Windows 10 to download ( www.techrepublic.com/article/microsoft-windows-10-five-free-apps-you-should-download) ; obviously, not all reviewers are quite as negative as Mr Mendelson at *PC Mag*.
