I understand, but keep in mind that Templates are not quite the same as Master Slides. You can select a Template when you are creating a new presentation, and to be sure, the Template will contain one or more Master Slides.
But, once you've created a presentation, you can still change the Master Slide which controls the way the slide appears. "Metropolis" is both a Template and a Master Slide. You get to the Master Slides through the "Sidebar" which should be visible on the right side of your screen. If it isn't, click on "View", "Sidebar" to make it show up. The Sidebar contains all sorts of controls under various sub-menus called "Properties", "Slide Transition", "Animation", "Master Slide", "Styles", and so on.
If you click on the Master Slide icon on the Sidebar, you should see an array of available Master Slides. The ones you have available may depend on your particular installation, OS, etc. On my Windows machine, for any given presentation, I can choose from about 29 different Master Slides, some of which I created, and others that came with my particular LO installation. I didn't have to download any additional templates.
With any given slide showing, you can left click on an available Master Slide, and that MS will immediately be applied to the showing slide. You can select a different Master Slide for each slide of your presentation. Or, if you prefer, you can right click on an available Master Slide, and select "Apply to All Slides." In your situation, as a way to troubleshoot your presentation, I would select a different Master Slide for each of your slides in the presentation. I would then export the presentation as a PDF and then transfer and open it on an Apple device. I would expect some of your slides to be properly displayed and others to be messed up. I would then make a note of the Master Slides that worked and those that didn't. 

Good luck.

Thanks.

I did download some templates

But most of them don't seem to work?

Yeah,I don't think changing the font will fix it. I would try changing the Master Slide to something other than Metropolis. You can apply different Master Slides to different slides and see which ones work with Apple devices.
