Unofficial LibreOffice app was removed on the Microsoft Store

We reported that an independent developer launched the productivity suite LibreOffice at the Microsoft store for $2.99, and the Document Foundation quickly denied that the app was official. The Document Foundation recently posted a statement on Twitter confirming that the company has not released any applications in the Microsoft Store.

We have been made aware of an unofficial version of #LibreOffice on the @MicrosoftStore. This is not official or created by us, and the money is not collected by us, so the app's page is misleading. LibreOffice can be downloaded for free (at no cost) from https://t.co/O6fjqtWQtA

The unofficial LibreOffice app has a rating of up to 4 stars, but today you can no longer download the app from the Microsoft Store because Microsoft has removed on the Microsoft Store.
