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)

Works as promised

Working w/ AI to generate Latex texts and this program is perfect for editing and pdf, well done!

No extras, but works super well!

This actually works! I have half a dozen LaTeX editors on my iPad by this point — this is the only one that always compiles the pdf files with no errors. All the maths packages, tables, fonts, and layout settings, it all just works! It has no special features whatsoever, but if you store your preamble and favourite custom command codes using the iOS “text replacement” in settings, you can use shortcut phrases to recall complex blocks of your favourite code and jot down notes or write long-form documents and compile them offline instantly as pdf files. That is all I could ask for when it comes to my physics assignments. Really glad I finally found this.
