Report error when package download fails

User reviews

Doesn't work

I have tried this app, but I am unable to compile my first document. It starts to download the necessary packages and gets stuck at "latexconfig".

Does not work

Latex code does not compile, despite working with other programs. The idea would be nice. Essentially you end up getting stuck while downloading some packages. It never gets past latexconfig.

\usepackage{graphicx} not working!

It shows download package latexconfig then nothing happens!!

Great just one missing feature

works as intended !

Just two remarks
- zooming on the preview on an iPhone doesn’t work well (it doesn’t zoom where I want but it’s manageable)
- would be great to export as a PDF (maybe I haven’t found how!)
