### 5/5 — Great App w/ Great Support

*2025-07-03*

It does what I need it to do and does it well. The dev is very responsive and quick to address issues. I started out using the free version but moved to the paid version just to support the dev.

### 2/5 — Absturzgefahr

*2025-02-25*

Die App ist sehr übersichtlich und reicht für einfache Zusammenfassungen oder kurze Arbeiten vollkommen. Allerdings stürzt sie häufig nach wenigen Zeilen ab, was sehr schade ist, da man sie so nicht wirklich benutzen kann ohne mehrfach zwischendurch neuzustarten.

### 1/5 — Plus de rapport de bug !!

*2025-01-30*

Depuis plus d’une semaine, il n’y a plus de rapport de bug quand Le, code bug en mentionnant un problème de connexion Internet, ce qui n’est pas le cas, il faut absolument résoudre ce problème car il n’y a plus aucune possibilité d’améliorer son code Tech sans indication des causes des bugs!!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your report. What exactly is the issue with the app? We'd be happy to fix any issues you might have. Please contact us directly. Merci pour votre rapport. Quel est exactement le problème avec l'application ? Nous serons heureux de résoudre tous les problèmes que vous pourriez rencontrer. Veuillez nous contacter directement.

### 5/5 — ottima, ma potrebbe essere impeccabile

*2024-10-10, version 3.5.6*

sono bellissimi i colori utilizzati per i pacchetti e l’ambiente matematico ecc… da pochi giorni ho acquistato la versione pro per avere lavori illimitati (così da farli girare sul mio ipad) però l’unica cosa non bella con cui ho dovuto fare i conti è l’impossibilità (nel cloud mode) con l’ipad di inserire immagini e altri file che descrivano a pieno i miei documenti in maniera ordinata, mentre invece nella local mode è possibile, d’altronde ho pensato fosse un problema del cloud mode ma accedendovi da un pc qualsiasi posso comunque inserire i file.
Come posso quindi inserire nel cloud mode dei file all’interno dei miei lavori da iPad?

### 5/5 — Easy to Use and does a good job

*2024-09-22*

I’m new to VerbTeX Pro so haven’t experienced the deficiencies others noted from years back. I’m using it on an older iPad Pro and have had no problems with articles a few pages long. I haven’t yet used it for large documents but it fits my current need nicely.

### 2/5 — FATAL ERROR in the latest version for iOS17

*2023-12-09, version 3.3.8*

Not found the main folder on the Local Host when you get the latest version. Projects run well but I don’t have my Main Folder anywhere. Export / Import files button on the settings have dissapeared of the main menu of the app.  

This is a critical error, I don’t understand how it is possible on a Pro Version of this app.

I feel very sad because VerbTeX is a great app on the and I have supported this job since many years ago… 2016 at least… And I love it, really. Good service for good price… But now is not the same. The evolution on this moment is not good. 

Please, write it back my emails to the Verbosus Supoort as soon as possible.

### 3/5 — Mala app

*2023-10-24, version 3.3.5*

¿Cómo puedo instalar extensiones?

### 3/5 — should contain compiler

*2023-10-02*

its a well made editor but it cant compete with texifier or even tex writer because internet connection is always required

**Developer response:** Thank you for your report. The latest release supports offline compilation using Verbnox (enable in Settings). Please contact us directly if you need help.

### 4/5 — Works decently well

*2023-02-10*

The Dropbox integration makes it really easy for me to sync my documents between this and my computer. It has worked decently well with the documents I’ve tried with it, although there were some issues at one point where documents I edited on my computer wouldn’t work in this and vice versa but those issues disappeared one day. Overall I’m pleased, although it would be nice if there were more customization options with the appearance of the editor, as well as stuff like more advanced text replacement and macros.

### 3/5 — Für unterwegs und zwischendurch

*2021-11-21*

Finde die App für zwischendurch und unterwegs gut, um Gedanken und Ideen zu texten. Allerdings gibt es die „undo“, also rückgängig, Funktion nicht. Wenn ich was lösche, und mich doch umentscheide, würde ich den Vorgang gerne rückgängig machen wollen. Dies ist ja bei Word und anderen Editoren üblich. Warum gibt es diese Möglichkeit bei VerbTeX Pro nicht??!!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihren Bericht. Wenn Sie eine externe Tastatur verwenden können Sie einfach über die Hotkeys ein Undo/Redo machen. Wir arbeiten an einer Softkeyboard-Variante von dieser Funktion. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns direkt falls Sie Fragen haben.
