User Reviews

VerbTeX Pro LaTeX Editor is valued for reliable, everyday LaTeX editing, easy Dropbox-based syncing, and strong value for money. Reviewers call it user-friendly and capable for short to moderate documents. However, repeated drawbacks include poor or absent search for longer documents and limitations around renaming/deleting local projects, indicating room for improvement in file/project management and search features.
Pros
  • Dropbox synchronization makes syncing across devices easy and reliable.
  • User-friendly interface and easy to use.
  • Affordable price and good value compared to other LaTeX editors.
  • Does what you need and works smoothly for everyday LaTeX editing tasks.
Cons
  • Search functionality is missing or non-functional for longer documents.
  • Cannot rename or delete existing local projects; project management is limited.

It does what I need it to do and does it well. The dev is very responsive and quick to address issues. I started out using the free version but moved to the paid version just to support the dev.

I’m new to VerbTeX Pro so haven’t experienced the deficiencies others noted from years back. I’m using it on an older iPad Pro and have had no problems with articles a few pages long. I haven’t yet used it for large documents but it fits my current need nicely.

The Dropbox integration makes it really easy for me to sync my documents between this and my computer. It has worked decently well with the documents I’ve tried with it, although there were some issues at one point where documents I edited on my computer wouldn’t work in this and vice versa but those issues disappeared one day. Overall I’m pleased, although it would be nice if there were more customization options with the appearance of the editor, as well as stuff like more advanced text replacement and macros.
