It also support pdfsource sync by a click on the pdf to highlight the source and cmd+click on the source to go the relevant sentence in the pdf. Texpad has mostly all the basic features of a LaTex editor.
It's not as bare and ugly as the one of texshop, neither crowded and ugly as the one of texwork or texmaker.Īlso texpad as its own error console split in two part, the upper translates in human readable language the errors found and the lower part is the default log of the tex engine.Įverything in the interface is really polished and consistent also I think that the single window interface is just right for writing with latex especially in a widescreen world. Texpad UI is minimalist and thus I really love it. Texpad has recently hit version 1.3 brining new features and bug fixes thus making it worth every penny. This is something every developer should do especially for paid software, yet rarely happens. They respond really fast, they do take care of your problems and so on. Then I had the chance to get in contact with the developers.Īnd here the magic happened. I started using texpad back in version 1.2 and it was nice but not really worth every penny. Thus the review is somewhat biased, not because someone pays me, but because of how much I love this software. May you hate iOS, sometimes I hate it to, well CloudMagic is available for : On my iPad, where I read most of my papers (god bless the human-retina saving retina display), I fire up the cloud magic app and voilà I can search in dropbox Evernote and so on.ĭo you use google docs because you are more open than me, do you also wanted to search you teammate email regarding the same paper, or tweet, or status update, yes CloudMagic will also do that (and a lot more, actually find out here). Here's where CloudMagic magic, no pun intended, comes in. You want to find the note regarding that python new module you made, and the pdf with the guide. Then I use Papers app by Mekentosj, to save all my pdf articles and books.įinally for the sake of universal access, I save the Paper's library on dropbox and use whatever app ( compliant to the pdf format rules) to highlight and annotate pdfs.īravó, you say, now you have to solve the problem you tried to solve in the first place. To my view it's a idiotic way of doing things but I was born in the 2.0 age (as a 'researcher').įor example I use Evernote to save all my thoughts and images and so on, what in the paper age would have been a huge collection of un-searchable post-it now is one or two searchable (did I have to mention, backup-ed in 3 places, everywhere reachable. Most old fashioned researchers rely on paper, they print pdf they annotate them they use post it and so on. Though sometime I think that apps like CloudMagic do a lot more to researchers than other apps, say origin lab and so on. I will review another non strictly related to research app.
