Reviews
keep things simple and it works
Very good app. The pro version price per month is not really cheap for people who just use it a little. We would like to have some help about what OTF fonts names are available with VerbTeX.
I will make a better review later.Now I am not fully aware of the facilities
I use this app when travelling and have found it very useful. I don't want to maintain a tex distribution myself so having the typesetting in the cloud is a good solution that works well for me. You can edit the source file offline and then typeset when back online. Just two grumbles about the implemetation: not only does the syntax highlighting slow the app down (as the documentation hints) but the line numbering is even worse. These features are unusable on a larger document. The other grumble is that there is no easy way to toggle between pdf and source without generating a new pdf. Could we have a "display pdf" button?
this app is pathetic, keeps complaining about packages, you resolve them then complain about more and once all sorted, the log file informs several errors without identifying them, waste of money and time
Good app, but lacks ability to import existing files
