Good

Good app, works well, happy to have LaTeX formatting on ipad

Best markdown editor for my needs

I have used lots of my down editors in the past, but this one it’s all of my sweet spots. Is the perfect combination of features for occasional technical writing. It cannot replace fullup LaTeX. But it doesn’t have to.

A good basic LaTeX editor

This app was just what I was looking for. It allows me to write my math papers using LaTeX to create readable equations and then export them to pdf for distribution. I suspect I will appreciate this gem even more as I climb the learning curve. Good Job!

Rare Combination of Features

Finally! A markdown editor that:
- has a 1-time purchase, not a subscription
- doesn’t require a proprietary format or vault
- has a live preview split alongside the editor
- auto-formats common markdown syntax
- syncs silently with Nextcloud, GDrive, others

Essentially, what I wanted from Obsidian but even better? Barring major bugs or drawbacks, this will be my go-to writing app on iPad.
