Tex Equation App Reviews

Very useful for imputing mathematical equations into Pages. The expanded keyboard has all the extra keys I need. I hope they develop a full TeX/LaTeX app.

I had to learn LaTex when I did my thesis for Masters in Mathematics degree. Now I am working on a calculator workbook, and is app is excellent for typing and copying equations into my document. I am very pleased with this app - this is money well spent!

This app is the crucial linch pin for all scientists and engineers who use Keynote to give technical presentations, and need LaTeX to typeset nice looking equations to insert as a PDF into Keynote ... It works like a charm (and the only ! one in the app store to supply PDF output to copy/paste into Keynote, meaning infinitely scalable vector font graphics in Keynote) ... and was only lacking 64 bit support, so would have foundered in iOS 11. Enter the fantastic support: I wrote the team a couple of days ago - and voila, an update for 64 bit on the app store already out!!!! Outstanding!!! Wish every app and support team would work like that!

This app works well. There are options for setting DPI and it can export to the photo album, which is useful for importing into Keynote. It is also possible to customize foreground and background colors, which I need because I like to have white-on-black slides. However, the biggest problem is that it is only a TeX engine, so no LaTeX commands (let alone amsmath) can be used. My guess is that most people use LaTeX, not TeX, and are used to things like \text, \mathrm and \mathit, which are not available here.

Works as advertised. I managed to get sans-serif font (matching the default beamer), and also switch the font size by adding "\sansmath \fontsize{10pt}{10pt}\selectfont" to the figure code

This is so far the best app to input mathematical equations. As a grad student in computer science, typesetting TeX equations is essential for me. This app has the ability to *compile* TeX sourcecode *without an Internet connection*. Now I can make perfect presentation slides solely within an iPad with the help of this app.

I love the fact that the code compiles internally. The program may be unstable at times, but it's no biggie. Also, if you're not too familiar with Latex, you should read some books on it, but don't complain if the app doesn't come with a full manual for using latex. Latex is a very rich typesetting language that requires patience to learn.

For those who gave negative reviews...read the product description before buying. The product description clearly states a knowledge of TeX typesetting language is required - and the typesetting language is the operative phrase here. And for those who gave negative reviews because of the lack of documentation...well...sigh! Maybe you should check first, and only then you'll find out there are at least few dozen books on the subject of TeX typesetting language...so order one!

Just what I've been looking for to complement Pages! For those looking for the reference page shown in the photos, it's the little manual icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen when editing an equation. It gives a nice primer on some basic TeX math commands.

Amazing application. It compiles TeX equations very well. Great for exporting to keynote or pages. The only problem is that the copied equation has a low resolution, so the equations on the slides look a little blured, but not enough to compromise the result. Great app! Good work!

Now I can write equation for pages and keynote on Ipad. Just a small suggestion, could u add Dropbox support? That would be a great plus. And please also add vector support. That is useful and necessary.

great app and its useful

This app shows great promise. I'm using it to write physics formulas to study for the MCAT. However, it is incredibly buggy and crashes all the time. Fix the bugs and 5 stars.

For anyone who needs to use equations, this is a must-have--it is the only real game in town. Copy and paste into Pages documents is excellent as well as very flexible page positioning capabilities of the image. Until we have a built-in MathType editor, this is what you need for developing documents on iPad. I could not paste in to Keynote so this is definitely something that should be addressed in an update. Update: I was able to paste equation images into a blank page in Keynote, so I'm revising my rating to 5 stars.

One of the screen shots on the App Store page shows a user guide, but none came with the software. At least if it did, it's well hidden. I can probably find a Web site that documents the TeX language, but without a user guide, this equation editor is almost worthless. It might be great, but I have no way of finding out.

This app works fabulous in integration with MyScript MathPad. You can hand draw formulas, preview and finalize them. Then import to Pages (as image) or TeX Writer by the same developer (as TeX code).

Fast and efficient with lots of pre-formatted material.

PLEASE UPDATE TO 64 bit I DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS APP ON IOS 11... I really like your latex app, it is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you! For updates, please add the folowing features: a) remove the tremendously annoying click noise on the supplemental keyboard, PLEASE. b) add a supplemental keyboards with common TeX symbols (\alpha, \partial, etc.), even better: make it customizable! c) vector graphics (not sure if keynote/pages accepts them). Thanks!

Outstanding program. Easy way to produce great looking equations for keynote or pages.

Keep way from this app. Not user friendly. You have to know by heart all codes in other to create a line that will be transformed in a final formula. Total wast of money

Overall it serves it's purpose, but it's missing lots of capabilities and has a few flaws. The app has poor support for the LaTeX language and many tags don't work. The rendering of some math symbols are strangely proportionate. Clunky interaction with managing equations and categories. The image snapshot crops off the equation picture too tight. Still can't figure out how to change a category name once created.

This app was a huge waste of money. I expected an Equation Editor type app, but it doesn't do anything that my i-pad keyboard can't do. Equations are written with typical text formatting, just like when you enter things into a calculator. LOTS of parentheses, carat to make exponents, etc.

I am a calculus teacher, everyday I need to write equations, in emails, for exams etc. This simple, fast, easy to use application has made my iPad so much more useful! I copy and paste equations in to emails for my class, I paste equations in to my blog, I love this! To write an equation I type using the same syntax as a LaTeX document. Then I press a button to generate images that contain my equations and text. These can be found in my pictures folder or copied and pasted in to most other iPad apps. I can customize the color and appearance of the text in the settings. There are folders to help keep equations for various projects separate. All of the important keys used to type LaTeX are handy, including slashes, dollar signs, numbers and variables. The developer is very responsive, answering questions and feature requests on the forum. The most recent update shows how well the developer listens to user feedback. An essential app for every mathematician, student or lover of equations. And it keeps getting better!
