süpé ,

Okay for editing, but has some really frustrating limitations

It’s neat being able to write LaTeX on iOS devices, and I don’t really mind that PDF generation requires a data connection.

But... Why can’t I edit .sty/.cls files? Why is there no iCloud integration, or integration with the Files app?

Right now to edit files which don’t have *tex or *bib extensions I have to rely on DropBox integration and an external text editor.
There’s also no way to add other resources (e.g. images) without DropBox integration enabled.

This is something I would pay for if I didn’t have to work around the above frustrations.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your report. You're right, it'd be a good idea to make .sty and .cls files editable. Are there any other file types you'd need to be editable? Adding other files not using Dropbox: Actually, you can add additional files by using iTunes. Just copy the files you need to the (root) Documents folder of the VerbTeX app. The app will take care of the rest. iCloud: It's currently not possible from a technical perspective as the iCloud-API provided by Apple isn't capable enough to deal with automatic synchronization. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
