Add existing .tex/.png/.jpg/.pdf/.sty/.bst/.cls/.clo/.def files in Local Mode: Put them in the VerbTeX folder on your SD card (/sdcard/VerbTeX/[project]/). Please note: At least one .tex file must exist. The name of the project is the /[project]/ folder name.
Add existing .tex/.png/.jpg/.pdf/.sty/.bst/.cls/.clo/.def files in Remote Mode: Login at www.verbosus.com with your browser and upload your files
Change the default template for new .tex files: Add a file called 'template.tex' in your local root project folder (/sdcard/VerbTeX/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.
Dropbox support: Since Dropbox currently doesn't allow to change the sync-folder please use another App (like 'DropSync') that allows that or use another sync App like 'SugarSync'.

Need a little more freedom to adjust the deeper aspects of tEX

Can't open local files. Annoying!

Great app. Would be helpful if you could compile the tex file to html and then share it with someone in an email.

Great app; thanks. Why not have a button that inserts \{} with one click and places the text input cursor inside the braces...

I have been wishing for this for ages. Thank you! The toolbar with backslash is especially appreciated.

No unicode language support. Except that, working fine.

Works well,very useful. Better if it could open existing .tex files,not created in Verbtex and have colour input text as with nedit to make clearer.

Doesn't cover the full screen in Samsung Galaxy Tab. Also cannot open an existing .tex file.

Great app, does as it says on the tin Works well - Only ever edited local files though for which it worked well. Also used with Dropbox app fine. Nice addition would be colour coding for the TeX code.

Useful application This application is really useful to edit and create your documents on the go. I use to combine it with Dropbox to share files with my computer.
