## TeX Writer Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Where are you? Are you listening?"
I have been using this LaTeX tool for several years and it has been consistently a fine compiler, but within the last year or so, customer support, which used to be prompt and helpful has become nonexistent. The program continues to have horrible file management and the sync to Dropbox feature is inconsistent.
-- BTHS Math, 2025-01-11

### *---- "No support"
The package developer has completely ceased their internet presence in all ways. This package will probably never be updated. Buy something else.
-- Ariel J. Transparentpseudonym, 2024-07-24

### **--- "lack of support"
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So sorry that what used to be an excellent app is now so outdated.
-- mathprof, 2023-10-20

### **--- "Very disappointed"
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.
-- JDLobster, 2023-09-24

### ***-- "Clunky interface; no help on ussage; works OK"
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.
-- Liktoprgm, 2022-04-17

### ***** "Works well!"
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.
-- タダヨシ, 2021-04-03

### *---- "Can not be used."
It is can not be used and there was no instructions. I just want to get refund.
-- pollan118, 2020-11-20

### ***** "Full LaTex system in your pocket"
I use this app for everything — envelopes, letters, presentations, even my resume.
-- CoJim, 2020-08-16

### ***** "Overall works well"
UI minimalistic but great to focus on writing. Compilation is fast and split view works well. Works well together with working copy to manage the git.
-- asdf4321, 2020-08-12

### *---- "Director"
The app keeps crashing on my iPad.  I lose massive amounts of text even though the safe feature is allegedly automatic.  The spell checker goes off on its own.   Compiling in the app crashes it and you have to re-install to get it to function again.  The synchronization with Dropbox is at best spotty, at worst unpredictable in its selection.
-- Mebulg, 2020-08-11
