Will not replace latex on a laptop

104'dkelq

Though this app is perfectly fine for writing latex documents within the iPad, it seems incapable of compiling more complex projects through things like DropBox. For instance, I have collaborative projects where we keep the relevant TeX files in dropbox. Furthermore, these projects are partitioned into smaller files and then merged into a root file via \include{}. Currently, TexPad cannot compile these files unless you download everything, and moreover won’t be updating the files simultaneously on DropBox. As a result, I basically always have to use my laptop for TeXing, which makes purchasing this app pointless. I would recommend not buying this app until they make it more friendly for using in conjunction with DropBox, iCloud, or Box.

Needs redesign of iOS version

The latest update for macOS is great! I think the iOS version also needs a redesign of user interface.

Just as good as the mac version

This editor is just as good as its mac version. Awesome app. BTW, developers say that live typeset is coming but I feel like it is already implemented in this version.

iCloud Drive support

Nickname tex

Texpad is one of the best latex editor on iOS. However, when will the texpad support sync through iCloud Drive. Now I need to use Dropbox to sync, it is quite annoying, especially Dropbox etc. is blocked in China. Overleaf is very competitive for texpad, the advantage of Texpad is real-time local typeset, the disadvantage is the sync cross platforms. I hope texpad could support iCloud Drive. Now most of the application support iCloud Drive sync.

(New Title) Fanastic app, but could use a good tutorial

Heavisise

It seems to be a nice implementation of LaTeX, but there is no tutorial on how to use it. For example, I have not yet figured out how to import graphics. I contacted the developer, but got only a light nonsequituur in response. Since I explained my problem, I have received no response. I am adding this later note. In spite of the nonresponsiveness of the developer, I have really worked to learn how to use this app, and it has quite a few. nice featueres; therefore, I have upgraded my ratinbg to five stars. I have used Texwriter since it was introduced, and it was a fine app. The developer was very responsive to suggestions. However, the latest update is a radical failure, and the developer does not react well to suggestions. Therefore, I have switched to Texpad, and I am finding that it has many more nice features than does Texwiter. If the developer of Texpad would write a small tutorial (perhaps pdf) on how to use his app, it would be a tremendous asset. As of now, I have to experiment to determine how to do things like import graphics. There is a fairly cursory tutorial on the web site, but it doesn't explain things in much detail. There are a lot of very nice features in this app, and I hope the developer will continue to develop and support it. All in all, a very nice app.

Love it but

Love the app but development seems slow :( Apple released open in place for folders last year with iOS11 and iOS12 is going to be announced in a week. This is the best iPad LaTeX app but I wish there was a faster development cycle and stability and design changes.

Quite Impressive; Small Issues

I quite love this app; probably the best money I’ve ever spent in terms of software. Runs very smooth on my iPad Pro with keyboard cover. LaTeX all renders perfectly; I love the continuous update PDF feature. The app syncs very nicely with Dropbox. I wish that when I enter a command like “\frac” and hit tab, it would make it so that it would appear “\frac{num}{denom}” like TeXStudio does on my laptop. I also wish the app would remember where I left off reading on my PDF; it often jumps to a page half way in the document which is rather annoying. The “sync viewer” button only seems to work when I’m a few pages away from the particular line I need to sync with. A few bugs that I hope will be fixed in the future. This is an otherwise spectacular app. Another neat feature would be shortcut integration. All in all, 5/5, well deserved, well worth the $.

Really wish it worked

I love to write on my iPad. I write in Ulysses almost daily on the iPad. I would really like to use LaTeX on the iPad. Texpad works great on MacOS. It literally crashes EVERY time I try to open a file that I just had opened from MacOS in Dropbox. Texpad simply doesn’t work on iPad.

Great app for LaTeX

Noone99

Great app. It would be great if it were integrated with the files app.

Cannot open local tex document

Document from dropbox can be opened but local tex document cannot be opened
