Import existing projects in Local Mode:

OR
* Put all your files in the VerbTeX folder on your SD card: /Android/data/verbosus.verbtex/files/Local/[project]/
Please note: At least one .tex file must exist. The name of the project is the [project] folder name.

Change the default template for new .tex files:
Add a file called 'template.tex' in your local root project folder (/Android/data/verbosus.verbtex/files/Local/template.tex). The next time you add a new document to a project the new .tex file will be filled with the text of your template.tex file.

Use any .ttf/.otf font:
Put your font file inside your /Android/data/verbosus.verbtex/files/Local/name-of-project folder and reference it in your document:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{fontname.otf}
\begin{document}
\section{Main Heading}
Это тест
\end{document}

You can write chinese in PdfTeX using the CJKutf8 package as shown in the following example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\begin{document}
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{gbsn}
这是一个测试
\end{CJK}
\end{document}

You can write chinese in XeTeX using the xeCJK package as shown in the following example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xeCJK}
\begin{document}
这是一个测试
\end{document}

If you experience any performance issues while using the editor please try
* to disable syntax highlighting and line numbers by choosing Menu -> Syntax Highlighting: ON and Line Numbers: ON
* to split up your project into multiple .tex files by using the \include{...} command of LaTeX

ctrl+s: Save
ctrl+g: Generate PDF
ctrl+n: New document
ctrl+d: Delete document

It's exactly what I want. Typing code-like things on a phone is tricky, but they include some of the more syntax symbols, ()/$ without needing to change your keyboard settings. Previewing the document is easy. And yeah, at the end of the day, you're writing a tex file, so you can use the cloud sync feature, or you can just copy it to run with another engine elsewhere.

I don't know how to use Japanese, but I can write formula in the same way as LaTeX in pc. And this is enough light and fast. I typeset a LaTeX file to a PDF document containing formula, found the file in the data folder of this app, and could send it to my friend. This is easy way to explain math with smartphone. I want to use plainTeX format if possible because it's easier to make irregular style of documents than LaTeX.

I really like it, but could I request an autosave feature? How many times have I forgot to save only to come back later and my work is gone
