User reviews

Buggy and falls short

The system fails to respond to touch commands and has to be closed frequently. It also does not link to my OneDrive as advertised. It effectively is useless for any meaningful work.

Great

Useful app. Please, add the Spanish dictionary, if possible. Thanks!!

Where are you? Are you listening?

I have been using this LaTeX tool for several years and it has been consistently a fine compiler, but within the last year or so, customer support, which used to be prompt and helpful has become nonexistent. The program continues to have horrible file management and the sync to Dropbox feature is inconsistent.

Highly disappoing

Buy it not when it is free.

No support

The package developer has completely ceased their internet presence in all ways. This package will probably never be updated. Buy something else.
