An audio engineer’s review on Golden Ear

Ivan wrote the following review in App Store:

Being an audio engineer I really need an audio player that offers highest audio playback quality with no coloration or other artefacts introduced that also handles lossless and uncompressed formats well – it’s all about critical listening for me, no compromises, full stop!

Golden Ear is the only player for iOS that matches my demands (and I’m a demanding one!) and with version 2.8 it fixes some minor issues I’ve stumbled upon (thanks Chaoji for being so open to my feedback and patching things up rather promptly!) and matures into something that caters for my needs and expectations 100%

Do not waste your time trying any other players, this one is miles ahead of the competition and worth every cent, quality does come at a price and let me repeat:

IT IS WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT!

“My favorite app”

Tony W wrote the following review on TeX Writer in the App Store:

My favourite app

This latest version of TeX Writer is by far the best. I have been waiting several years for a quality app that could deliver what TeX Writer now delivers. I write papers using latex regularly and until now had no way of doing it professionally on the iPad. The editor is great, the fact that it compiles pdflatex files on the device and not in the cloud is awesome and best of all I can add packages as I need them without having to do a complete install of TeX like I do on my desktop. The basic packages that come with the app do much of what I need anyway and so few extra packages are necessary. Syncing via DropBox is a great idea. I can work on the same latex files from all of me devices seamlessly. My one quibble with this version is that I would like to see the packages sync with DropBox so that they can be added easily and automatically to every device that has the app on it. Adding packages via iTunes for each device is clumsy. Please change this! The app also runs great on my iPhone and I can still see, edit and compile all of key work, although the iPhone interface is a little small for serious editing. In summary this is a wonderful app ideally suited for the iPad. It does exactly what I need and does it well.

By default TeX Writer doesn’t sync texmf-local to Dropbox, because there may be hundreds of files under that directory. We’ll add an option to turn on syncing of the texmf-local folder since people like Tony may have relatively few files in there.

Introducing Light Text

We have built a great editor for TeX Writer. Some of our customers love the extensible two-row accessory keyboard, some love that they can add commands, and some love the cursor control. One customer wrote a request in our forum that we should build a standalone app so that he can do all his writing in the editor. We took his advice, tried to separate the editing core from TeX Writer, and here is the editing app that shares the same powerful features — Light Text.  The only difference is we have a different default settings for  the accessory keyboard. Of course, you can customize it if this is not what you want.

We also make a demo video to let you know how editing in Light Text looks like. If you are not familiar with the way cursor control and text selection works, then you must not miss this.
