Excellent, web-dependent LaTeX editor/compiler

This app does everything I want, as long as you have web-access to compile the code into PDFLaTeX. It’s small, light-weight (40M) and good context-highlighting. My only gripe is that the font/contrast is too small/too light. I need to maximise font-size for the entire iPad to get the text readable in VerbTeX with my old-geek eyes. Some in-app control of the fonts would make a lovely addition to the “settings” of this app.

Unusable, use Overleaf instead

I am writing a document with no bibliography. I press the "generate" button. I am told "Generation of the PDF failed; see Log for details." The "Log" button opens up the completely useless BibTeX log file, and not the LaTeX log file I actually need.

Compiles and easy to use

It’s very functional, one minor annoyance is having to tap “Done” every time I want to compile — would be nice if that option were available always. (I’m using my ipad with a keyboard).

It’s almost 2022. End the half-baked storage support

We’re almost in 2022 and apps like this still have hard coded workflows for saving to Dropbox and box. iCloud Drive was added 4 or 5 years ago. It’s time to finally adopt it.

오프라인으로 사용하기에도 훌륭한 것 같아요!

키보드와의 조합이 좋은 것 같습니다!

Pretty Good

First, it is totally free. Second, I just use it to write notes. It basically meets my demands.
