A good, functional LaTeX editor for iOS and updated regularly
TTTimothy Timmons

Response from developer

Thank you for your report. Scroll to top: We'll add an option in editor settings that disables this iOS default behaviour. Done button: This is the default system styling. May I ask what exactly you expect here? Please contact us directly so we can solve all these issues.

Pleasantly Surprised

Wasn’t sure what to expect from this app, but really impressed by how simple and promptly it’s able to compile LaTeX documents (and the pro lifetime subscription is very reasonable)
SSarbof

Hidden restriction

It only allows 2 files in a project in the free version! What a disappointment

Response from developer
