Until today, as a rollApp user, you were unable to save toolbar customizations, menus and user settings. For example, if you opened an OpenOffice app and added the Exit icon to the toolbar, it wouldn’t appear the next time you launch the app.

But we all know and appreciate the excitement of working with user interface that’s so flexible that we can be more productive, don’t we?

From now on, it’s super easy to customize menus and toolbars in any app available in our cloud collection, from LibreOffice or Calligra to MyPaint and Darktable.

Once saved, all your customizations will be preserved when you open an app next time. Moreover, the saved settings will be accessible on any rollApp compatible device as they are stored in your rollApp profile. Say, on your Chromebook you can customize menus, status bar, toolbars (or even add new menus and toolbars) in LibreOffice Calc, and then run the app on iPad and enjoy the things that matter to you.

Now, every time you use rollApp, make it personal and more enjoyable! Let us know how it works for you!

Witnessing the industry’s continued expansion and growth at Fira Gran Via.

We continue adding new apps created by developers for developers. Meet Kile, an integrated LaTeX environment, that brings all the capabilities of LaTeX in a graphical interface, giving you easy, immediate, and customized access to all programs for LaTeX code-completion, compiling, debugging, conversion and viewing tools; you also get very handy wizards, a LaTeX reference and a powerful project management.

Kile on rollApp can be easily used right in your browser: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and is integrated with cloud space of your choice: Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box. 

Kile is similar to other apps that deal with source code and editing, and will automatically highlight commands, options and items that are used. Kile makes it easy to spot problematic areas and provides one-click document compilation/display and auto-completion of LaTeX commands.


What is LaTeX, anyway? 

LaTeX is a text-processing system derived from TEX, a program developed originally in 1977 by Donald Knuth to help layout text in a professional way and obtain a layout quality that is on par with the work of a professional typesetter. LaTeX was created by Leslie Lamport to give authors an automatic typesetter, especially to ease the expensive and painstaking process of typesetting of mathematical formulas and expressions, which are enclosed within dollar signs in LaTeX for a reason. Today, word-processing programs let any user act as typesetter, but what is often needed is a document that simply looks good without having to spend hours to bring it into shape. LaTeX takes that burden on its shoulders, and lets you concentrate on the document instead of on the layout. And yes, it will look good! (source: The Kile Handbook)

We have a newly published educational application in our App Collection – KWordQuiz. The app is designed to help you master new vocabularies, from a language to any other kind of terminology. You can use it without installation, right in your browser: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari.

How It Works 

With KWordQuiz you build your own vocabulary documents in a simple and intuitive way. It comes with the Vocabulary Editor (a two-column spreadsheet), Flashcard and Multiple Choice sessions. 

Before you start a quiz, you need to select how you want to practice. KWordQuiz offers five different modes to make practicing more efficient. The different modes make it possible to have the quiz go through your vocabulary in sequential or random order in one or both directions.

Do you love Firefox and free coffee? Then visiting the Firefox booth at Mobile World Congress earlier this week in Spain was your opportunity to discuss the latest mobile trends, Firefox OS, $25 smartphones while sipping coffee and hanging with Mozillians.

Of course, Firefox is not as popular as Chrome, and while offering browser-based apps mostly for iPad (Safari), Chromebook (Chrome) and desktop (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) users, we at rollApp has developed a special add-on for the Firefox community. The extension is called rollApp File Opener and, at this time, it's installed on 35K computers. 


The latest version of the add-on opens 500 type of files including archives, documents, PDFs, ebooks, and graphics. 

How It Works 

Our File Opener allows you to customize your Firefox browser for viewing virtually any file that you might find while surfing the web. Moreover, the add-on is also integrated with your Dropbox cloud storage so you can improve your productivity and daily work flow by previewing, editing and saving the files you need right in the browser:   

• Install the extension, hover the mouse over a link to a file you want to preview and click Open. Alternatively, open any files on the web by using Context Menu.
• Open and edit any files in your cloud storage and sync them across all your devices.
• Perfect for any desktop operating system.

Let us know how it works for you!
