Write LaTex technical documents and publish to pdf
Texifier is a fully-functional application for writing technical documents using LaTex, a coding language for writing highly specific text formatting. I would say it is a great entry level LaTex app. Its main advantage, in my opinion, is that it is ready to use right after installation without complicated compiler installations or online account setups. The app is easy to use for composing articles, theses, dissertations, etc. and publishing to pdf. It is not much help with LaTex, but LaTex is not easy to use in the first place. My biggest complaint is file organization conflicts with the sandboxing on iPad iOS.

Unsure who does TeX this way
I’m really confused exactly who writes tex files in the manner that this program is expecting. At best, it’s absurd. It doesn’t connect with external systems, file structures, or cloud services at all (even though it says it does), it doesn’t allow the importing of previously made Tex files, and it expects a *file* when you attempt to link a *folder*(???!!!). It clearly intends to be completely self-contained and limited almost entirely to itself. The rest of us write for analysis and dissemination as a primary purpose… but apparently users of this program write in Tex as if it were a personal journal, always starting from scratch and creating for the authors eyes only. For $29.99, there should be full file system functionality and the ability to import Tex files and edit them on a major cloud server.

Super handy
If you’re a Latex aficionado, this app is very convenient.
Expensive and useless
I bought this extremely expensive piece of programming to help me typesett Latex files on my ipad. I am a student studying maths and really needed that facility. This worthless piece of programming wont open a file unless it creates it itself
Not support Chinese
When I use “\usepackage{ctex}” it will report an error: “engine not supported”. The app claim that it support Chinese, but it does not support indeed. Cunning developer!
Muito bom
Excelente
宏包呢
包都下载不了，钱都交了，这不坑人吗？
Сбоит в многозадачном режиме на iPad
В многозадачном режиме переход в другое приложение с последующим возвратом в Texifier приводит к тому, что интерфейс Texifier не содержит рабочей информации, всё просто "стирается". Это сильно осложняет работу, так как вынуждает перезагружать приложение. Причём это касается только экрана, всё сделанное сохраняется и восстанавливается при перезагрузке.

Doesn’t display the pdf output
It compiles and show the pdf on the side but doesn’t generate it automatically and the option to export the file doesn’t work for the pdf! I searched much and there is no help to find out how to solve this issue!
It compiles LaTex documents well, and shows errors. But there are a few issues
Theres three issues that I found to be a little annoying so far:
1. When closing a document, it always automatically compiles the document. This means I have to wait for it to compile while I am exiting that document. From a user interface perspective, that doesn't make sense. If I am finished with the document, I don't want to wait to compile it. It shouldn't ever really automatically compile unless I explicitly request it.
2. I cannot export the error output log. It just doesn't work. There is a button, and a sharesheet, but nothing gets exported when selecting any apps to share it with. It doesn't even copy to the clipboard.
3. Another issue is that after compiling a document successfully, I want to export it as a PDF. Sometimes that button is just not there in the export menu. Then later it appears. I guess it shouldn't be there if there is no PDF to export (or maybe grayed out instead?) but if I have a working document, it should be there.

Best on-the-go LaTeX app
Easily the best app for writing LaTeX on the go, with an excellent desktop counterpart available as well
Works as indicated
Perfect of offline use. for online I prefer Overleaf. I would like to able to directly edit overleaf projects and sync.
No Biber support
This is not a working latex compiler : it does not support the widely used and often necessary Biber bibliography backend. I'm therefore unable to produce bibliographies and references.
Good overall but the error log file output does not work

Worst app ever doesn’t do what it states
Awful app. If I could give it 0 stars I would. I bought both this iPhone and iOS version and the MacBook version. And neither works. And they won’t give a refund either even when requested within 24hours of purchase. Despite the fact that it can’t render files which has structure format or anything more complicated than 1 page document. Waste of my money. Save your money and use something else. No customer service either.

Worth the cost
I’m pleasantly impressed by Texifier. Coming from a desktop VimTeX / XeLaTeX setup, this has all the features I’m used to and more. The on-the-fly typesetting works better than any other editor I’ve tried.
Some things such as SVG include don’t work as they ordinarily require a shell escape, but easy to work around (save graphics as pgf instead).
I’ve never spent this much on an app before, but being a lifetime license I had little hesitancy. It turned out to be unequivocally worth the cost. Thank you.

The best latex app
This is the best latex app available that compiles it within, with a fairly decent UI as well. Nevertheless, file integration is very far from elegant, to put it gently. It is cumbersome to access files in an intuitive way. Integration with iCloud is far from seamless, and the Dropbox legacy integration showing up is a little bit upsetting. I would definetly pay a suscription, as with overleaf, if the app turned really pro

Very good app for latex writing
I like it works on folders from both iCloud and files app.
Limited functionality
Basically, you can’t add packages. So, if texifier does not have the package you need, it’s useless. Defeats the point of using LaTeX. Disappointing that they don’t care about fixing the problem.
Need to be improved
Text selection needs improvement and undo feature is sometimes broken
