Ratings and reviews

Hello I first downloaded the tex file and couldn't even open it. Then I started a project called Quiz and didn't know how to locate the Local folder. . Adding to the difficulty is Android's file manager itself is not very user friendly. The distinction between copy and move is not clear. And then lastly my resource file was a .png file and I was calling it by .PNG and that didn't cause a problem on Windows but did on Android. Now sorted it all out and happy

Work quite well, the Tex installation is completa and solid. 4 stars because the file manager interface is too basic, lacking basic functions, and I can't access the files because they are somehow hidden in the file system. This makes very tedious working with external files. **UPDATE: BACK TO 5 STARS** because after subscribing on the web site it unlock many cool features! Awesome product, perfect companion for business.

I'm generally very satisfied with this app. Normally, when an app is the only one for a certain use (in this case latex), it is quite bad. Not this one however. It is almost perfect. Two things: 1) Please complete my brackets! 2) I'm not sure if it is my system, but my synced dropbox projects take literally forever to load into the app. For the record: I do have 5+ rather large projects in there.
