There are many other failures and inconveniences in this interface which make it too frustrating to use for any length of time. Autocomplete for citations does not search the title or author, but only matches the exact string of the shortname. While there technically is autocomplete, the interface is confusing and works poorly with a keyboard. The flow through the app is confusing and redundant, with multiple paths to do many things such as opening a project It cannot be closed without resizing the window. When in split screen, you can open the file tree, but once it is open the button to close it is offscreen. There are keyboard shortcuts, but they aren’t registered in the normal way so you can’t discover them by holding the Command key. Things break when the window is resized. However, the interface is very clumsy and painful to use. (I suspect having my files on Texpad connect is the reason the app was crashing because since last week, the Texpad app also started crashing on my MacBook).įirst I should say, it is very cool to be able to write and compile LaTeX locally on an iPad, and this app deserves credit for that. The complete lack of tech support from their end has been very frustrating and downright appalling, especially given this is a paid app ! The end result is that I have had to delete all my Texpad projects on their Texpad connect. However, I have sent them all the details of my problem I even sent them a screen recording. For some reason, the crashes do not always generate error reports. I have had close to zero support from the Texpad team to help me figure out why. I have not yet been able to figure out why it keeps crashing. However, the iPad version of Texpad has been crashing every single time I have used it, starting a week after I bought it.

For this reason, I bought the iPad version of the app because I figured I could sync my tex files on my iPad and mac using their Texpad connect. The mac version of Texpad is stylistically very pleasing.
