TeX Writer - LaTeX On The Go

I was suggested by a youtuber to use this app on my ipad pro. However, the experience is not as good as introduced. In summary, I don’t think this is a so-called productive app. 1. cmd + F: you cannot continuously start a new word searching after the previous one in the same input line. 2. bad sync support: onedrive is not enough for most of the people. 3. bad local project support: you cannot import a folder or a project into this app. Sharing the latex file seems also impossible. 4. this app has not been updated for more that one year and the mail sent to the developer has no response. 5. unknown errors happened: lipsum.ltd not found. But the same latex file could be compiled by another ipados app. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A REFUND!

The one feature that’s missing is being able to navigate between the tex and the pdf (e.g. click on the tex to get to the same part in the PDF and vice-versa). Other than that, I do a lot of writing on my phone and on my iPad using this app, and it’s been wonderful so far.

Compiling works perfectly, and I've never had a problem with packages or encoding, which is great because I often write in French. The shortcuts for keyboard arrows don't work, probably because of the extended virtual keyboard. Very nice to use with the virtual keyboard, ok with a physical one. The file manager is not very nice to use, but the Dropbox sync feature is very useful. Please let this app never stop being maintained.

The usual keyboard shortcuts that help you navigate a page do not work and the liner wrapping makes arrow keys tricky. If you user a keyboard you are probably used to option+arrow or command+arrow but neither work as expected. Up/down arrows jump lines but lines are wrapped so that entire paragraphs are lines. I often get a little frustrated editing a document. But... it's LaTeX and it works.

I have found this to be a very useful application. My LaTeX needs are modest but are completely met by this app. Dropbox synchronization works well for me.

I bought this app as it said it can link to Dropbox, however every time I do it it simply crashed. I tried to get a refund right away, NO they didn't allow you to get anything back, it's simply a set-up. Don't make the mistake I made, don't give a chance to cheaters.

Love it! Works great. With my Bluetooth keyboard, I can really tex on my ipad.

Compiling offline, seamless synching with Dropbox allowing me to continue to work on documents I started on my desktop, possibility to add new packages, transparent display of the compile logs makes it easy to debug. Great job! The price? Well, some people think that any app over $0.99 on iOS is expensive. On the other hand, few people care about paying $5-7 for a lunch, a one off. Question: How much is the convenience of this app worth to you? How much is your time worth? If you are a TeX user, this app is a must have.

I'm extremely new to using LaTeX as a document editor. I had heard many good things about LaTeX for a long time but never was able to get around to getting it running on my home computers. As a university student I was always on the go and so I began looking for an iOS variation that would suit my needs. TeX Writer was the only app that offered in app compiling. I'm still learning the ropes with LaTeX, but with TeX Writer it won't be hard or take long! Great App! It's not perfect, there seems to still be some functionality issues when using a keyboard, but the developer *seems* to be involved. Time will tell. I'd really like to see this get updated more frequently!

Never had an issue with this app. Very easy to use.
