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!
