VerbTeX LaTeX Editor

Could be better, but decent The syntax highlighting is slow, even on my Transformer TF100. It would be nice to have it remember that the highlighting was turned off when loading a document. The spell check is almost useless. Automatic indentation would be amazing, as would code collapsing/outlining. It would be nice to have a local latex compiler, but I understand that it could be difficult to get it to work with the android NDK. Overall, the features make it relatively easy to write and edit LaTeX files.

Love it. It lets me view, edit, and generate PDFs.

Doesnt work on my samsung galaxy tab

Find function is available since v2.1.9

Perfect. Works like a charm. Just moved my diploma thesis to verbtex. Uploads files automatically located in verbtex folder. Connected to dropbox.

Can't upload files, can't compile offline This might be a step in the right direction, but... 1) You can't upload a file. So you have to cut and paste your entire document into the edit window. Plus, you can't upload figures or bibtex files. So really, you can only compile the most basic files. 2) Compiling is done online. What if I want to work in a location without wifi? What if the wifi is slow, and I want to recompile many times to debug? Miktex is only about 50Mb, surely my 8Gb tablet could handle a full compiler on it? Somebody please....

I know that Copy+Paste allows you to "open" documents But you should not have to resort to that. Lose 4 stars (since I cannot give a zero star rating) Good editor, but talk about a fatal flaw

Excellent. No Undo or Find functions. Excellent application, works as intended. Although cannot open existing files, copy and pasting from existing files works just file. One can add files into the VerbTex folder, and can, presumably, use \include, although I haven't tried. Figures in jpg work great, but not in eps or pdf. Must have internet to compile tex. Has no "find" or "undo" function though, so finding text or correct giant unintended mistakes (selected all --> spacebar) is really hard. Save often!

Exactly what I was looking for: 5*

Works well when pasting text from pre-prepared LaTeX source. Requires kinetic scrolling and ability to open local files.
