VerbTeX is a collaborative LaTeX Editor for your Android device. It allows you to create and manage LaTeX projects directly on your Android device and generate a PDF offline (Verbnox) or online (Verbosus).

This software is provided "as is" without warranties or conditions of any kind, either expressed or implied.

Features:
* Use PdfTeX or XeTeX to generate a PDF
* Use BibTeX or Biber for bibliographies
* Offline compilation (Local Mode, enable in Settings)
* Automatic Dropbox synchronization (Local Mode)
* Automatic Box synchronization (Local Mode)
* Git integration (Local Mode)
* 2 Modes: Local Mode (stores .tex documents on your device) and Cloud Mode (synchronizes your projects with Verbosus)
* Full LaTeX distribution (TeXLive)
* Syntax highlighting
* Code completion (commands)
* Hotkeys (see below)
* Web-Interface (Cloud Mode)
* Collaboration (Cloud Mode)
* Autosave (Local Mode)
* Custom template for new .tex files (Local Mode)

Import existing projects in Local Mode:
* Link to Dropbox or Box (Options -> Link to Dropbox / Link to Box) and let VerbTeX automatically synchronize your projects
OR
* Put all your files in the VerbTeX folder on your SD card: /Android/data/verbosus.verbtexpro/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.verbtexpro/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.verbtexpro/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

Hotkeys in editor:
ctrl+s: Save
ctrl+g: Generate PDF
ctrl+n: New document
ctrl+d: Delete document
ctrl+.: Next document
ctrl+,: Previous document

VerbTeX LaTeX Editor adds to Android a simple, powerful editor for LaTeX projects. For me, it has become my go to learning app for LaTex/TeX writing. Kudos to the awesome developer for their prompt and thoughtful response and code implementations.

Work quite well, the Tex installation is completa and solid. 4 stars because the file manager interface is too basic, lacking basic functions, and I can't access the files because they are somehow hidden in the file system. This makes very tedious working with external files. **UPDATE: BACK TO 5 STARS** because after subscribing on the web site it unlock many cool features! Awesome product, perfect companion for business.

I'm generally very satisfied with this app. Normally, when an app is the only one for a certain use (in this case latex), it is quite bad. Not this one however. It is almost perfect. Two things: 1) Please complete my brackets! 2) I'm not sure if it is my system, but my synced dropbox projects take literally forever to load into the app. For the record: I do have 5+ rather large projects in there.

Thank you for your report. Please check your projects in Dropbox. If you have many files (>100) synchronization tends to take some time. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

* Git: Improve messaging
* Offline compilation: \hat \bar and others
