LaTeX Master File Creator for Android is designed for writers who know how to type LaTeX commands and need a simple way to do it on their smart phone devices.

App Features
If you’re new to LaTeX, it is a set of macros for TeX (a typesetting computer program) which helps reduce the user’s task to only have to write the content while LaTeX deals with all of the formatting process. LaTeX Master File Creator for Android offers an easy way to view and edit .tex and .txt files on your phone. The app has only six options in its menu, which makes it quite easy to use.The first option in the menu is Settings, which allows users to edit the filename, title, author, subject, and keywords of the document. Click on ‘import notes’ to import your own .tex files. It also provides five samples (four in .tex and one in .txt) that a user can edit within the TeX framework. But it should be kept in mind that the free version of the app allows only five samples. Importing in all five samples will max out the allowable limit. The Imported notes must be in UTF-8 encoding, and are imported in from the directory: /sdcard/Txt2TexINPUT/. The third item in the drop down menu is Topics that allows users to get compatible LaTeX master files from selected topics. Clicking on the fifth option let you generate .tex and .txt files. You can delete select files using the sixth option in the menu. If you want to upgrade to the pro-version, click on the seventh option. Pro-version ($1.99) has no limits regarding the number of notes you can have.
The UI design is user friendly even though it might confuse first time users a bit initially. Creating and editing .tex files is a cake walk. The light blue-white-grey color scheme looks nice. The app requires Android OS versions 4.4 or higher.
Final Take

Simply tap on Get Notes or Import Notes to load several useful templates. UI layout is easy to comprehend once you get a feel of it. Performance wise, the app is stable and responsive. Check it out if you are scouting for a tool to manage .tex files from your mobile phones or tablet.
