Features & Capabilities

xFormula is a powerful math equation editor that lets you visually create formulas and export them as LaTeX, MathML, UnicodeMath (Word), images, or SVG. It supports variables, binary operators, arrows, relations, brackets, fractions, radicals, accents, and more, with organized libraries to manage many formulas across categories and groups.

It includes features like import/export for Pages/Keynote, an image-recognition option to detect formulas, a customizable keyboard and a keyboard extension for use in other apps, and comprehensive help docs. Note that font spacing may vary due to font limitations; ongoing optimization is planned. As paid software, pricing is split between iOS and macOS, with an optional Professional Edition for future updates.

User Reviews

Reviews consistently praise xFormula for LaTeX export and easy copying to documents, with educators often recommending it. The main drawback across multiple reviews is pricing and tier restrictions (free access limited, low-cost plans with character caps). Reviewers also mention practical feature requests (keyboard visibility, broader font support, more export options) and its usefulness for math notation on mobile/desktop workflows.
Pros
  • Efficient copying/exporting of formulas with LaTeX representations that can be pasted into documents and LaTeX editors.
  • Strong approval from math educators; reviewers often recommend or praise the app.
  • Helpful for quick formula entry on iPad and for Google Docs workflows.
Cons
  • Pricing model is restrictive: free tier limits use, and lower-cost plans impose a small character cap, leading to perceived poor value.
Recent reviews
This app is free to download but if you actually want to use it, you have to pay a minimum of a $7 subscription, utterly useless otherwise. In the “free” version you can only type less than 10 characters. Do better.
