What is LaTeX? What is LaTex Beamer?
------------------------------------

LaTeX is a software package to author various documents like scientific reports, magazine articles or even books.

### 4/5 — Buena aplicación

*2022-12-12, version 1.0*

He probado la aplicación y funciona bastante bien, pero echo en falta un puntero para señalar partes de la diapositiva. Bien podría ser un puntero láser o una flecha. Si incluyes esa funcionalidad, no dudaré un segundo en comprarla ya que las transiciones que tiene me encantan.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2022-10-24, version 1.0*

No funciona. No abre ninguna presentacion hecha en Latex, con independencia de que contenga notas. Voy a pedir que me devuelvan el dinero.

### 5/5 — Great PDF slide presenter on iPad

*2020-07-27*

This app is almost everything I need out of a PDF slide presenter app! I'm pretty sure it's the only app on the iPad that has a built-in way to show beamer notes. The one that's missing for me is a way to annotate slides with touch or the Apple Pencil. (This might require shrinking notes screen and enlarging the projected screen.)

Great job! I will be using this regularly for sure!

### 5/5 — Only way to use beamer notes I’ve found yet

*2020-03-31*

This is a very barebones presentation app for beamer slides, but it has all the essentials for me: a timer and support for the side-by-side notes feature of beamer. 

For in-person presentations, this is really all I need, but some sort of annotate feature and/or “laser pointer” like the PowerPoint app would really put this over the top. 

But for $1.99, this is an essential app for anyone who uses the beamer notes and hopes to use their ipad to present.
