Best Android spreadsheet editor?

I tried Collabora on a Galaxy Droid and it was such a massively buggy disappointment: in a .ODS file, I couldn't backspace more than once; I could only delete one character at a time. I had to enter another character or move the cursor or do something else before it would take another backspace. I don't understand how this app has as high reviews as it does, or no one has used its spreadsheet editor.

I so far can't get away from Google Drive because tables are absolutely critical to my work... Any ideas to help de-Google would be deeply appreciated!

Update: The search continues, as ONLYOFFICE did not work out either and similarly had file-editing problems. For now, I've resorted to .TXTs...

~~You could give ONLYOFFICE a try. It defaults to Office Open XML formats, but it can read and edit OpenDocument files just fine.~~

EDIT: electro1 has just told me that ONLYOFFICE has trackers. One look on Exodus and, sure enough, they're right. Sorry!
- Shame it has all those built in trackers...
  
  Wait, WHAT‽
  
  Like what? Could they be nullified if we just disabled its Internet access?
- Interesting, thanks. Apparently the low reviews are from prior years before they stepped up their game, from what I can tell.
  
  A user by the name of electro1 has just told me that apparently it now contains trackers. I had no idea. Sorry.

  I'll keep an eye out to see if anything else turns up that's FOSS, but doesn't spy.
Bonus if it can edit .sc files, a-la the best spreadsheet editor, sc-im.
