TeX Writer - LaTeX On The Go

Very useful tool, allowing me to work on iPad!

Chinese user should know that the compiler do not include xeLaTex.

I just bought this app today and it wasn't long before I found out some parts of this program that I was dissatisfied with: 1. .DVI files are nowhere to be found after .tex files are compiled. Even syncing to dropbox does not work. (It only syncs .tex files) The only way to retrieve the .DVI files is to get them in iTunes. 2. Moreover, the function to convert from DVI to PDF should be supported. 3. Don't tap on the file folder icon on the upper left corner more than once, or you have to tap other places multiple times to de-select it. 4. Mathematic macro keypads should be added, which makes typing more easier. In conclusion, the concept of this program is great; however, it requires lots of trimming before it is stable enough to handle real daily usage.

The package developer has completely ceased their internet presence in all ways. This package will probably never be updated. Buy something else.

There have been no updates for a couple of years and it seems impossible to access documentation on website. What used to be an excellent app no longer is. You used to be able click PDF file to go to relevant place in tex file but this no longer works after a recent IOS update. So sorry that what used to be an excellent app is now so outdated.

This is a very primitive app. You can’t even navigate to folders elsewhere on the iPad. Go with a free program first and see if it works for you.

The app is the best iPad LaTeX app I've found (at least when Dropbox sync works)! The Dropbox sync is relatively clean once I figured out how it works (I have to sync manually using the "Sync" button in the "Open file" menu), it has tools to download desired packages, and it compiles offline. The interface takes some getting used to but is quite usable after that. The problem is the sync: my iPad is not my primary computing device, so I would like to be able to cleanly move from my computer to my iPad and back. Dropbox sync is buggy: I have to manually sync the files, and when I do, usually I get an error message and have to unlink and relink to Dropbox. OneDrive sync doesn't work at all. That is, I have a OneDrive account through my institution that I sign into using SSO, and the OneDrive sync in this app refuses to acknowledge that my OneDrive account exists. No sync to Box is available. So the Box synch is about as functional as the OneDrive sync but at least it doesn't pretend to exist.

Don’t do a lot of Latex and anything serious I would do with TexShop on my computer. Tex writer seems to work although I can’t get the minted package to work. My main complaint is if there is any way to start up a fresh tex file from scratch (as in new file) I can’t figure it out. I generally open ivim and do the basics there; write it to my file system on the ipad; and then open it in tex writer. That works but seems like there should be some way to do it all native.

I use LaTeX on my computer, and it's so convenient to have it on my iPad and iPhone 6 Plus as well. It makes me so productive since I can work and make documents anywhere and any time. I love how it integrates with other apps. I use a combined file browser, file server, FTP client app, Documents, and I can move my Tex and PDF files back and forth between the apps. The new text editor is much better than the original and a lot easier to use. The one thing I think would be helpful is have a video tutorial to show us how the app works and explain how to use the features. The app developer is responsive and fixes issues with the app quickly, so if you have problems, don't hesitate to email. I've had some problems before, and they have all been fixed around a week after I reported them.

It is can not be used and there was no instructions. I just want to get refund.
