## TeXable Description
Welcome to TeXable, where TeX is made easy. TeXable makes writing LaTeX more efficient by introducing intuitive GUI components to replace boilerplate code, allowing the user to go straight to the content.

TeXable comes with a text editor that has syntax highlighting, autocompletion based on the packages you’ve added, search and replace, and more. It compiles LaTeX locally using PDFLaTeX, allowing you to compile swiftly and get instant feedback. The TeXLive distribution is downloaded as an on-demand-resource after the app is installed for a smoother experience. It is quite large, at around ~760MB.

TeXable has four main GUI components that allow you to expedite writing TeX: the Equation Editor, the Figure Inserter, the Matrix Maker, and the Table Generator.

The Equation Editor is our answer to one of the common problems when writing a large TeX document - having to compile the entire document just to make a small update in one of your equations. Preview your equations separately in the Equation Editor, allowing you to save time by compiling a single equation rather than the entire document. Once you're sure you've written the right equation, add it into your original document.

The Figure Inserter allows you to create complex figures with a simple GUI. The changes you make in the GUI are automatically processed in real-time to generate TeX, which is auto-compiled to preview the output figure. The GUI allows you to easily choose the number of subfigures and add captions and labels. It allows you to import images from your camera, device, iCloud, and more. It also allows you to simply draw your own images with your fingers, or Apple Pencil if you have one, and then import them directly into your project. These drawings can later be modified to create other drawings or update existing ones.

The Matrix maker and Table Generator allow you to avoid writing cumbersome boilerplate code for tables and matrices. You can select the dimensions of a matrix or table, change its values rapidly, apply styling, and the GUI will generate the TeX for you, allowing you to preview and copy it into your document.

After you’re satisfied with your work, you can export your project to Google Drive, iCloud Drive, other apps, or send them to others through email or messaging.

You can import existing projects into the app in the form of a .zip file.

TeXable saves your files in your iCloud drive if available, meaning that you won’t lose your work if you delete the app and re-download.

Subscription pricing and terms:
TeXable offers an auto-renewing monthly subscription at $3.99/month. TeXable also offers a lifetime subscription for $19.99, which is paid for by a one-off upfront payment with unlimited access to TeXable forever.

p.s. Shout out to our friend Ben Strekha for coming up with the original idea and helping us extensively in our development. He advised us on a lot of our design choices and helped with debugging and making sure that the app works as intended. Without his passion and help, the project wouldn’t have started nor reached its conclusion. Thanks Ben!

## TeXable Reviews in United States

### *---- "Crashes on launch"
The app sounded very promising, but it just kept crashing on launch. Please fix this issue (iPad Pro 6, iOS 17)
-- William Wei (Wei Haoran), 2024-02-09

This app will not open: I try to open it and it immediately crashes and closes.
-- Ariel J. Transparentpseudonym, 2023-09-19

### *---- "App crashes"
Hasn’t been updated in years and doesn’t work. Avoid
-- AronTTLV, 2023-08-11

### *---- "Don't buy"
This app was great when it worked, but for the last year it crashes on startup.
-- TheTexilator, 2023-06-23

### *---- "Crashes on Launch"
Crashes on launch still (April 2023)
-- treuorq, 2023-04-17

### *---- "Won’t even open on my iPad mini"
I have downloaded it a few times and deleted and reinstalled and it will not even open on my iPad mini.
-- lycurgus, 2023-02-17

### *---- "Crashes on startup"
It crashes on startup.
-- Andorhunter, 2023-02-03

### *---- "The app keeps crashing"
I have just downloaded the app; it crashes every time I try to start it. I have iOS 16. Very frustrating!
-- AppleSL, 2022-12-10

### *---- "Does not work on IOS 16.1."
Crashes immediately on startup.
-- Marc0384, 2022-12-02

### *---- "Crashes in IPad OS 16"
Crashes in IPad OS 16. With stage manager on, app does not open!!!
-- K Nur, 2022-12-02

### *---- "Used to be the best Latex app in the store... but now won't run"
This used to be a fantastic Latex app. I used it regularly.

Unfortunately, under iPadOS 16.1 on an iPad Pro, it crashes on startup.
-- A roboticist, 2022-11-16

### ***** "Works great"
You can import packages from CTAN and have your local texmf files. Import .Tex files from iCloud and also folders. Uses a local TeXLive repository. I have all the Tex programs and this is one i have been using a lot. There is a shortcut menu bar that takes up a lot of screen space. Since you will only use these once in a while better leave time to key-combos and/or be able to hide that part of the menu.
-- C.Clifford, 2022-06-06

### **--- "Pretty cool, but no typesetter support"
This is actually a really impressive and fairly polished project. I still had a heck of a time getting files into the app because it isn't exposed to the iPad's sharing menu for some reason. The ZIP import fallback did work.

Unfortunately, I can't use the app for my projects because they require XeLaTeX or LuLaTeX support for typesetting fonts. Texable only supports pdfLaTeX.
-- EvAveMananShar, 2022-01-08

### *---- "Can’t import existing tex files"
Claims to support importing .Tex files from iCloud but when you try to import such files they are grayed out and you can’t select them for import.
-- yequalsx, 2021-09-18

### ****- "Promising"
The app seems to be a great solution to write a LaTeX project on the iPad. However, you cannot link a folder from the Files app. This means everything you do is siloed in the the app’s own folder, and to sync with other computers, the only way seems to be by manually exporting and importing the project. Once this feature is implemented, I think this could be the best solution for TeX on iPad!
-- Kkuluuk, 2021-05-10

### ****- "Cool but needs polish"
Cool app, but some of the ui and interactions could use a bit more polish. It would also be nice if there’s git integration to import and sync projects.
-- qianchengfu, 2021-04-20

### ***** "Really handy app"
I’ve been using it for my notes and the figure drawing feature is really handy for quick diagrams. Could see this replacing overleaf for me. Would be nice to have dark mode.
-- oklahomaguy8, 2021-03-23

### ***** "Pretty easy to use"
Matrix editor was helpful to do my math 241 hw. Tutorials were helpful to get started too.
-- Fidela_Pock, 2021-02-27

### ***** "This is what I’ve been looking for!"
TeXable is the first app to make use of the fact that the iPad has a touch screen that can be used to draw things, perhaps to add them as a figure. This is massively helpful in generating quick LaTeX documents for homework when you don’t have time to create fancy images and just want to draw a quick figure to convey the meaning. Good stuff!
