Verdict
Real LaTeX on an iPad, typeset on the device instead of on somebody else's server, so it works with no connection at all.
Best for
Academics who need to set a paper away from a laptop and cannot count on being online.
Dealbreaker
The dearest app here and the least steady with it: thirty-one of the last two hundred reviews report crashes or hangs, and several say support never replied.
The facts.
Pulled from the App Store, not written by hand.
