Well, I don't think there's LibreOffice for any mobile platform as a complete office suite as there is for desktop computer. I know there's LibreOffice Viewer for Android which allows user to open files and do some basic editing. Apparently, iOS users have OOReader available in iTunes so you could use that. Don't know if OOReader allows editing, but they both open ODT files so it should not. I'm using a Microsoft Sculpt desktop with my MacBook Pro. Lovely keyboard, great mouse, handy numpad but unfortunately both Microsoft and Apple deny the users a driver, so several buttons are annoyingly non-functional.

Mac LibreOffice vs. Windows and Linux versions

The Windows version has a typical installation and a customized installation, that allows users to choose user interface languages, components, and dictionaries through an installation wizard. The wizard also has features that allow the installed LibreOffice to be modified and uninstalled. In addition to this, there are several versions of the suite in the Windows 10 Store and a portable version that can be taken from computer to computer.
Many Linux distros come with LibreOffice preinstalled, or the it can easily be installed through the distros PPA. Users can install individual applications, and they don't have to install the entire suite. There are also several different ways to download the suite: directly through the Website, through Snap, through Flatpak, as an AppImage, etc.
