Comments on TeX Writer - LaTeX On the Go for Android

★★★★★ Excellent Works very well on what I've tried so far. Dropbox integration is awesome. My beamer presentations compile without issue. Worth the money to me.

★★★★★ Its working!!! Great technical support It works amazingly good. The best offline latex editor to date. My tablet becomes more productive now. The technical support quickly responded to my concerns. Keep up the good work!! By the way, future updates could include the following features if possible: An side-by-side PDF previewer would be awesome. A quick workaround would be the following: Latest tablets like Samsung Note allow to use multi-windows to be opened concurrently. If Tex Writer also allows this feature, I can open Tex Writer on one side and my favorite PDF viewer on the other side and preview my document by refreshing PDF viewer. At present, I had to toggle between applications Tex Writer and PDF.

★★★★★ one of my ten must-have apps Works out of the box with complex documents including half-obscure packages. Rebought with second google account just to have this on every device. Complete editing and compiling of latex-docs possible in every folder. And even a nice, clean look.

★★☆☆☆ Cannot get Dropbox integration to work on Android No matter what I do, there is no Dropbox integration on my Samsung Galaxy Note Pro, which is strange, because I have managed to get Dropbox integration to work using the iOS version of this program.

★★☆☆☆ Wasted time and Money Bought this one and cannot use it. Color coding is hit and miss, package handling does not follow recursive folder protocol, and log file is cryptic and hard to follow. Sometimes it is not generated at all. What makes this useless is the blatant incompatibility with standard LaTeX commands, specifically the \font command line for setting true type fonts. It also, apparently, does not recognize the \pagestyle command. What else?

★★☆☆☆ Cannot compile anything Decent ui but compile button broken. That is the only button that really matters.

★★☆☆☆ Crashes on all 3 Android tablets I have (Lenovo P11, Lenovo P12, and Samsung S8+).

★★☆☆☆ Very Limited Not worth $8.00 App has little to no instruction, Very few tools, No explanation on how to start a new file, Best to stick to a desktop version until someone comes up with a decent tex editor that actually has tools to let you save your tex file to a place likke drop box and actually have a tool bar. Best to move on to another app as I am uninstalling

★★☆☆☆ Dropbox intégration sucks The program does not work on an android lollipop when the initialization process with Dropbox starts!!! And actually in previous version you could only choose one folder of Dropbox. I am not going my structure of folders just to make it compatible with the app. Update also your UI.
