FEATURES

 * Integrated environment to edit, compile and view the typeset output.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2023-02-04*

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".

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-01-26*

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.

### 3/5 — \usepackage{graphicx} not working!

*2022-10-07*

It shows download package latexconfig then nothing happens!!

### 4/5 — Great just one missing feature

*2022-08-07*

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!)
