Texifier : LaTeX editor - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Edit and typeset LaTeX, Plain TeX and Markdown on your iPad or iPhone, no internet connection required, using Texifier, formerly known as Texpad.

Texifier is a LaTeX editor designed for straightforward navigation, editing and typesetting of projects of any size. Open a LaTeX root file, and Texifier will scan it, open any referenced files, extract the document structure for display in the outline view, and configure the typesetter according to the packages and tools used by your document.

Texifier's editor comes with a choice of themes, syntax highlighting, autocomplete of commands, including those defined in your document, and autofill for \cite commands, \ref commands and others. The powerful sidebar can show you a summary of your document structure allowing you to navigate through large multi-file projects with ease. Additionally Texifier's outline lists all labels, figures, tables, todos and it contains a powerful search function that can search and replace across your entire project using either normal text searches or regular expression searches.

TexpadTeX - Texifier's internal, no internet connection required, typesetter comes with PGF drivers, Native Fonts extensions, a Unicode and more, allow it to support almost any LaTeX package available. TexpadTeX also integrates a BibteX tool and a Makeindex compatible indexer for documents that require those tools. The integrated bundle manager takes care of downloading, installing and updating LaTeX packages for you, giving you access to almost the entire LaTeX ecosystem without using any more space on your device than needed.

TexpadTeX can run in Live mode, updating the output as you type, so you never need wait for a typeset to finish again.

For the rare cases of documents that are not compatible with TexpadTeX, you can use our free cloud typesetters. This is fully integrated into Texifier so press typeset, and Texifier will run the typeset in the Cloud, presenting the results just as if they were typeset on your device.

After all typesets, any errors in your document are organised in a table of issues. Tap on an issue to jump directly to the offending line of LaTeX source, or the line in the original log if you wish to read the original output.

Texifier works well with Files App, allowing you to store and work on your documents wherever you wish. On top of that Texifier Connect is directly integrated into Texifier for working across devices and collaborators.

Texifier supports Markdown along with LaTeX. Edit your document in Texifier's syntax highlighting editor, browse the document by outline, then when you press Typeset, the document will be transparently converted and typeset by LaTeX (using a standard template), giving you the informal ease of Markdown with LaTeX's ability to create beautiful and high quality PDFs. Likewise Plain TeX users can edit and typeset their documents in Texifier.

Features:

- Universal binary for iPhone and iPad, optimised for the latest generation of devices.
- Typeset LaTeX to PDF on your iPad and iPhone without need for an internet connection
- Support for LaTeX, Plain Tex and Markdown
- Navigate easily through even the largest projects using the Outline view
- Search all files by string or regex with the global search view
- Browse the typeset errors and warnings either as a raw log, or with the errors and warnings table view.
- Texifier's editor autocompletes commands, and autofills commands such as \ref{...} or \cite{...}
- Use iOS Files app to edit documents in any storage that supports file or folder access
- Instant Live typeset using Texifier's built in TexpadTeX typesetter
- The onboard typesetter supports virtually any LaTeX package or font, including, but not limited to: Beamer, Tikz, Fontspec, Koma Script, e-TeX, graphicx, pgfplots, AMS, RevTeX, Babel, Bibtex and Indices.
- Free typesetting through our secure cloud servers gives you access to all packages in the latest TeXLive distribution.

Doesn't render BibTeX properly for IEEE files in Local Typeset

It would render it in the display. But when you export, the [1] and [2]'s just become [?]'s. Keeps fooling me and causuing me issues. Also, can't share the PDF output to other apps. It just generates it somewhere only God knows. Also, the downloading of bundles is obnoxious. I have to keep turning the wifi on and off for it to progress. Once it fails, it just stops until the connection is reset.

Bundles cannot be download, keeps saying download failed. Made the app useless for me

Title says it all. File doesn’t compile due to missing bundles. I try to download them, but then I get a “Download failed” message. Made the app completely useless. Need help with that download failed; something like a mirror option in the settings would help. UPDATE: Been using it for a while now, it's absolutely amazing. Only downside is that the menu and navigation, and some UI elements, do not adjust well to split screen mode (for examples, button are hidden, yet can still be clicked, as a result lots of buttons can overlap each other). You can still function by maximizing it and coming back, but not the best thing when you're writing from your notes on another application.

Buggy and does not work

DO NOT buy it….

Too many crashes in an hour

I was typing my latex file and there were at least three crashes in an hour. Hard to love this product.

Guide broken

As a new user, I’m not favourably impressed by the Guide, given that it appears to consist of 8 entirely blank pages.

Not for dropbox and multiple documents

This editor does not work with dropbox. It is not possible to move files from dropbox to icloud on ipad pro, making this app useless. Secondly, you can open only one file at a time. If you want to copy and paste contents from one file to another, it will take very long time (opening one file, copying, then closing, then opening another file, then pasting). This expensive app is far worse than tons of free tex apps on windows.

Do not buy this if you use Dropbox

The app does not link files in Dropbox.

Does NOT work

The way the app is set up is very promising but nothing works or at least nothing worked for me!

Does not work reasonably with Dropbox (and no refund)

I can only review its support for Dropbox since I only use Dropbox for storing my documents. The app needs the documents to be in an app specific folder to be able to edit and shared documents can not be kept in that folder. Meaning it can not be used to work on a shared document. For my particular use case, it makes the app completely useless, which would be fine if the App Store allowed refund for the app, which it doesn’t.

Best Latex editor on iOS but buggy and a bit clunky

Really nice that you can live preview Tex docs are you create them and that it supports many Tex packages, but there are a few glaring bugs like when clicking the “Image From Camera” button the app crashes. As well, the whole file browser aspect is highly confusing as it’s unclear what “Texpad Connect” is and why I should use it instead of just using iCloud Drive.
