Top Productivity Choice with One Flaw Identified

Chinju_kr on

India

This app unfortunately crashes when attempting to highlight a PDF file, often stopping midway and causing all highlights to be lost. This is incredibly inconvenient. Aside from this issue, this app ranks as the best in my productivity list.

Productivity Hunk

There highlighted notes leverage ones ability to revise entire chunk of text with readily available anchor to relevant text document. I hope it would help many to optimise capability.

Keeps crashing

E2bpind on

India

Purchased the app two days back.now on trial period. On opening pdf it closes itself. Keeps on doing the same with all pdfs. Only once i could do my work of copying tables from pdf. After that keeps on crashing. Tired. Rectify it pls.

VeryUseful but little expensive

Shekhawat94 on

India

Very helpful for reading and reviewing pdf in very less time But little expensive. No life time validity plan.

Needs changes

I don’t see the words getting highlighted as I am doing it. I don’t like to see it getting highlighted after it’s done. I’d also like it if it can connect to google drive cloud and save the edits automatically.

App crashes quite often

Rishav Malveeya on

India

It’s an excellent app for note taking but the problem is if you open any pdf with more than 200 pages the app crashes a lot. And secondly it takes a lot of time to open a simple pdf of 5-6 MB even on a M1 chipped iPad.

Hands down amazing app

RomanaPerveen on

India

I am amazed how perfect this app is for me as a medicine student. Lets me highlight my notes to make an amazing versatile version. I only wish the notes version was editable directly. Also kindly add APPLE PENCIL Scribble option with this this app will be unbeatable. Please consider this upgrade. Thank you !!!

App crashing all the time

Rajankrish95 on

India

My app keeps crashing every time I use it and my annotations get deleted . What’s the point of me paying the pro subscription. Fells like such a ripoff

App features not working

xodouseripad on

India

Selecting a picture in pdf as an annotation doesn't work and it takes a lot of time. Just to open a PDF and it keeps crashing. I think the features the app provided was awesome and purchased the app. However now the features don't work really wasted my money please try to rectify it. I have already sent you an email as well through the help and support of the app.
