TeX Writer - LaTeX On The Go App Reviews

Very Good only some problems with figures in png format.

Awesome TeX processor for mobile.

The upgrade brought different issues and no real improvements. The big problem regards the use of .bib files: when one of these files is opened, the keyboard gets excluded and no command is available. For the rest, what follows still lacks. The sincronization with dropbox is still dangerous if you have two devices connected. Also, the internet connection is still cause of crash, when the app is used with others (Safari, for example). Again and again, it would be good some more color for grammar, and the possibility to open also .bib files in another app (dropbox!). I dont know whether its still the best TeX app for iOs.

I really do love it. Only very few minor issues. 1) the cursor is weird. If I wanted to edit the code in, say, the middle of the second line, sometimes I will have to use the side arrows all the way. The up and down arrow take my only to the beginning of the paragraph 2) relatedly, the "option" button on the Smart Keyboard does not allow you to navigate across words. So you have to go through each letter one by one until you get to the desired location. 3) after previewing your document, you actually have to tap on the editing screen to begin editing again, otherwise your keyboard will not register But honestly, these are only a minor annoyance. This app gave me the first opportunity to create my first TeX document. Thank you!

I installed this app because I was asked to write a scientific article for an at-home experiment that I performed regarding Europas salt content and structure of its ice. This was my first time ever writing something in TeX format, and I was impressed with this app as far as the versatility and ease of use. I was able to write my article within a couple of days and wrote a subsequent article within the week. Great app, well laid out, the DropBox feature is great, and Im very glad I purchased it.

I use LaTeX on my computer, and its 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 5, and I can move my Tex and PDF files back and forth between the apps. Im not a very big fan of the text editor in this app, and Ive been using Textastic or another editor on my iPad to produce my LaTeX files. There are a few changes that I think would make this app so much better. I think it would be really nice to have an option to choose whether to use the built in iOS text selection, cut, copy, and paste tools instead of the special tools included in the app. Ive tried to get used to the special built in text editing tools, but I have been using iOS so long that Im much more efficient with the built-in iOS text selection tools. I also dont like how the built-in selection tool pushes the text around when I am selecting something. I also think it would also be nice to have a switch that enables or disables autocorrect if it were possible to make the autocorrect TeX aware. Autocorrect is currently always disabled in the app. Since Ive been using iOS for many years, my autocorrect dictionary is quite accurate now. The last important thing would be to be able to update packages when new ones become available. I use a few Latex packages that format documents to specific standards that are updated periodically, and a year is too long to wait to be able to get a current version of the package on my device. Finally, it would be nice to be able to adjust the font size in the text editor.

I use this app as a study aid for teaching myself statistics. Every evening, while reading statistics books on my iPad, I take my notes in it. Great for equations. Even taught myself LaTeX using the app. Nice job!

I have been "computing" since quite a while (hint: >= paper tapes). Now I am sitting here looking at my compiled pfd of a 44 page Latex opus with lots of references and graphics - and I just did it by touching an icon in this little application Tex Writer running on my iPhone. It is not so that I did not keep up-to-date on all the computing changes and technologies. Quite the opposite. Still, I wonder and feel happy, when I see the clean - so rapidly produced - documents from Tex Writer - my macro customizations not with-standing. The developer has done a superb job of letting me work whenever and wherever I feel the lights blinking. BTW: This app integrates well with results out of Wolfram Alpha. Thank you.

Very straightforward and user-friendly. Has exactly what you need for writing on the go.

Well worth $10. Strongly recommended.

This is the last missing piece I needed to use my iPad Pro as my daily driver to replace my laptop. Now I can pretty much do everything I need to do on my iPad Pro. This app is very well designed and functioning rather smoothly. I havent had any issues with it. One great feature that could be added is iCloud syncing, or at least file sharing between iCloud Drive. Hope to see that in later updates.

This supports editing and PDF preview, and can integrate with Dropbox, which is a useful idea (Ive yet to explore that so read others reviews for that). There are a couple idiosyncrasies to the user interface but youll get used to it quickly. Worth the ten bucks for when you want to mess with math on the go.

This is a very well-thought program. The one issue I m facing is that it doesnt sync well with Dropbox except one way (if I modify files in TexWriter all is well, but if I modify files in my Dropbox folder on my desktop then TexWriter doesnt see the changes). Also, integration with other cloud services like OneDrive,iCloud, Google Drive etc. would be nice.

The app cannot sync with Dropbox. Its useless. Also cannot include figures from different folder. I need a refund.

This has basically turned my ipad into a fully functioning laptop for writing. Thanks!

An awesome app. One drawback is that it does not provide beamer.

The app is really easy to use and has a nice design. It supports split view, downloads packages as needed, and can pull images directly from the dropbox folder it creates where the file is saved. I can also access the .tex file from my PC LaTeX editor meaning i can use my iPad and PC for the same document. My only suggestions would be for a dark mode and a view where the PDF and code are side by side.

Dropbox support is poorly conceived and does not consistently work properly. Documents must be "imported", a process which more often than not fails and when successful entails making a separate copy of the file elsewhere in Dropbox and undermining the seamless ness across devices which, to me, is the whole point of using Dropbox. And, as mentioned, it doesnt usually work. This makes the app a giant hassle to use. Certainly not worth the asking price.

A great app and not sure how I will function without it. I dont do math formulae but like to take notes in it. Latex is a better typesetting application than any of the ones that you pay money for. Thank you for the setup.

Very helpful app that allows me to write work on the go. Would definitely recommend.
