Works decently well
The Dropbox integration makes it really easy for me to sync my documents between this and my computer. It has worked decently well with the documents I’ve tried with it, although there were some issues at one point where documents I edited on my computer wouldn’t work in this and vice versa but those issues disappeared one day. Overall I’m pleased, although it would be nice if there were more customization options with the appearance of the editor, as well as stuff like more advanced text replacement and macros.
Friendly and easy to use, just:
1. The search does not work - drawback when have document >= 1 page.
2. Could not rename project or file in project.
3. Not clear how to include in project specific routines like sty and use package.
User friendly, nicely synced with Dropbox, easy to use. Definitely recommend.
Works well except for lack of search
A one page document is fine with no search, but to not have a search option in a 20 page document is prohibitive.
Unusual piece of software.
Unusual to say least.
Best Value For Money
Out of all the latex editors for IPad currently available, this is the cheapest but most functional, and the user interface is very nice.
Mostly functional
Great for simple Tex formatting, and the autocomplete feature is nice, but I cannot get \usepackage to work. The instructions on their website and in the app don’t seem to match their current UI and the current iOS UI for sharing files.
Solid
Does everything you want a LaTeX editor to do. Works smoothly and is half the cost of all the other LaTeX editors
Good
One bug: can NOT delete nor rename an existed local project, pls fix it ASPS.
Some improving suggestions:
1. Show commands via different colors, which would help users to read/revise the code (you could refer to "winedit")
2. After compiling, if the user find any place that needs to be revised, then he/she has to find the place from the code. Pls add a function by which the user could reach the place directly from the compiled tex. You may first compile the code as another format, which allows the user to revise, then if everything is ok, let the user to decide whether to compile it as a PDF. Thanks.
