    If you have managed to stumble onto this app you already know what LaTeX is and have probably fallen victim to typing random abbreviations into your editor just to find the proper symbol. This fixes that. Developer, if you read this I just want you to know that this has saved me so much time and headache. I, as a fellow human who uses LaTeX, wish the absolute best for you and yours. I am recommending this app to everyone I know that uses LaTeX. Thank you again dev, sincerely.

  • DeTeXt Problems

    I can’t even use it once. I have tried deleting it, reinstalling, closing it and then opening again. And it still freezes the instant it opens and won’t let me draw, search, or go to the help section. I though this app would be good with the amount of good reviews I’ve seen. But I can’t even get it to function once. Thumbs down, sorry.😐👎🏻

    I’m sorry, this is the first I’ve heard of the app crashing repeatedly. Can you contact me via twitter or email so I can figure out what’s wrong?
  • Impressive

    I’m surprised that something as simple as a LaTeX lookup tool could be so well made.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words.
  • Very good, but lacks some common suggestions

    Very nice, fast, easy to use, but seems to omit some common suggestions, like \mathbb for doublestruck letters. When this is corrected, my rating will go up as well.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your review! You can contact me on Twitter via my app, I’d be curious to know which symbols you’re having a problem with.
  • Where has this been all my life

    I have wasted so many hours scouring the big list of LaTeX math symbols to find the one I was looking for.

    This app saves me ten minutes every time I need to remember what the name of that obscure binary operator is again. Thank you!

    Developer Response

    Aww thank you :) I’m glad my app has helped you.
  • Simple, brilliant and privacy focussed.

    As someone who does some mathematical writing every now and again this app is brilliant. I can have it open on my iPad and draw what symbol I’m thinking of without trying to remember the name. It’s free, easy to use and privacy focussed. What more could you want.

    Thank you!
  • Simple yet useful

    With a simple approach and design, the app works perfectly. So far, I’ve had no issues with pattern recognition.

    Developer Response

    Thank you! I’m glad you’ve found it useful.
  • So proud

    I’m very proud of my beautiful son for making this app. In my day, latex was used for little red balloons from the carnival and gloves to wear when cleaning the floors with lye! Now it’s used for computers or something… anyhow the app works great!
