Very decent app. You need to make the advantage of the computational power of iPads now.

I think it has a good integration of iCloud to this app, and you can access to other locations for the Tex folders too. However, I just wish it could support more features such as connections to Overleaf, and etc, since it’s a popular service for writers who use LaTex.

Terrible, slow

Downloaded because it was free. Couldn’t compile documents that TexStudio or Overleaf could, I think the problem was related to not recognizing bibliographies or figures. Not enough support for me to really figure it out. If I would be cautious of giving a low rating because maybe it was user error, there also was a huge delay between typing and response. Like a second lag per character. Unusable at that point. Maybe others had better experiences, but this is a new iPad so I can’t explain the lag except for a poorly performing app. I’d recommend you at least try it yourself to see if it works better for you, but it’s also 70MB. Plus a star for great Dropbox integration though.

More Cumbersome than It’s Worth

Within minutes of using this “Pro” application, the app – after either error checking or previewing – will unexpectedly revert back to a previous “save point”, washing away any work meticulously typed out for the past 5-10 minutes. This bug is aggravating especially when working at a fast pace. Alongside the painfully slow time to error check or load a preview, it made this app more cumbersome than it’s worth. I would recommend not investing any time in this app for as long as this bug (and the overall slow nature of the app) is fixed.

Almost 5 stars

Almost happy enough to give 5 stars...but, there’s one issue that really bothering me. When I have my file open on the left, and the previewer on the right, if I close the .tex file to look at another file, and then go back to the first file I was editing, the previewer can become “disconnected” from the .tex file, and I can lose any changes that were made since the last time I previewed. Fix that, and I’ll be happy to give it five stars.
