Not good
iPad Pro 2020. Could not get a good compile, basic packages not recognized. This is not easy as it should be. I am experienced with Latex, not an expert, but this was not a fun experience.
Good
Edit— developer response was quick and the app is now much better
Started out good but quickly became worse, the editor kept reverting to old saves meaning several pieces of work were lost. The app then bugged completely with the editor continually moving the cursor to the end of the file making editing impossible and the app unusable. Tried restarting the app and my device but to no avail.

Response from developer
Hey there, I'm really sorry about the issue you had with my app! I just submitted the 1.0.4 version that fixes this problem!
Issues with Drive
Hi There, great App! However, when I try to work with existing TeX documents in my Drive, I am unable to import these documents. I cannot create new documents using this app either. Whenever I try to create a document, it will say something like “document manager error 1 unable to import document”.
Online needed, limited packages, buggy
I wanted to like it; dark mode and syntax highlighting is pretty. But it is on-line only, I eliminated package after package but couldn’t get it to compile, it wouldn’t find co-files in the same directory, and the keyboard would disappear even after pressing the keyboard button forcing me to restart the app.

Good but terrible writing experience
The app is great but for whatever reason, typing on it is absolutely the worst thing ever. It’s slow and laggy and makes the entire app feel unpolished despite it working so well otherwise. It’s great for a free app but it’s infuriating when trying to type using a keyboard.

Hey there, Thank you for your feedback! I am going to investigate this issue and fix it as soon as possible! All the bests, Mate Kovacs
Included files?
This may be OK, but I haven’t found any contact information. Most of my documents have included files ( a preamble of libraries that I include in most documents, and shortcut commands that I regularly use). When I try to compile the master document, it can’t locate the preamble file, even though it is in the same directory as the original file. Where do I need to put this preamble, or am I out of luck? If this works...5 star.

Almost 5 stars
Almost happy enough to give 5 stars...but, there’s one issue that really bothering me. When I have my file open on the left, and the previewer on the right, if I close the .tex file to look at another file, and then go back to the first file I was editing, the previewer can become “disconnected” from the .tex file, and I can lose any changes that were made since the last time I previewed.
Fix that, and I’ll be happy to give it five stars.
