Highlights: PDF & Anteckningar

Going from preview to this is such a huge difference! Highly recommend, the experience is amazing.

When jumping in a document, e.g. clicking on reference in a paper and then pressing the Back button to return to where the reference was, the app consistently jumps to the start of the next page. That breaks the flow in a small and annoying way, and makes one wary of leaving one’s place in the document. Which is very much needed for reading e.g. scientific papers with references to other papers, figures etc. Otherwise this is the best app I’ve found for this type of thing.

I am forced to give a bad rating and review because two emails that I have sent several weeks ago on different topics have been ignored. My questions were not covered in the tutorials. When one pays for a year subscription, timely answers to simple queries are expected. Otherwise the functions this app provides are indispensable to my studies and I appreciate it very much.

I have no idea what I’m doing

Was my favorite but nah it became useless when it had bugs

Almost amazing, has some issues with certain documents where text highlights are wayy off from where the text appears rendering the app useless for some documents. The pro version is subscription instead of a one time purchase which is upsetting, especially when other alternatives always have a one time purchase option. Reached out via email too but was never responded to. Might eventually switch over, I don’t need many advanced features but I would like enhancing features without having to pay for it forever.

Can’t search in PDF documents

I bit the bullet and subscribed to this app, knowing (and hoping) that something better comes along that doesn’t require a pricey subscription to do something so relatively simple. Exporting highlights and notes from a PDF shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg and should be better managed by native tools. For the price, it lacks some basic features like the ability to add bookmarks and makes navigating lengthy PDFs cumbersome. To the developers… please add different page options for viewing PDFs, like single page turns as opposed to continuous scrolling. Some of us don’t like scrolling, and prefer the hard clean transition of a traditional page turn. Having these options would at least make this feel like the most basic of PDF viewers. The app does it what it’s supposed to do well, namely exporting highlights and notes in markdown, but is overpriced for the main functionality. If it were more imaginative, and offered additional value, I’d consider something like this, but for now am hoping that tools like omnivore and others improve their PDF annotating.

This is a great app! There are, though, two primary Isuues I have with it. The first isn't the program's fault at all. The quality of the PDF you're reading REALLY matters. One day, people will allow purchase of PDF textbooks, and things will get better; until then, scans will have to do. That said, the app does a really great job doing exactly what it says. The second issue is totally on the developer. The "Pro Version" of this app is only available by subscription. Now, I hate supscription apps as a rule, but this one is a real issue. $30/year. Not too bad, right? Well, if I go into academia at 18 and start subscribing that's $120 by the time I graduate my undergrad. Let's say I have a 3-year Master's program. another $90. Now I go into a doctoral program. 5 years? Another $150. Now I have paid $360 for this app. Let's say I'm staying in Academia and want to keep it. Let's just say I have a 30-year career ahead of me.That's another $900. Thgis is a GREAT piece of software. Truly. But it's not worth $1000. I would STRONGLY encourage the developer to reconsider the subscription model or, at least, the price of it.

A well earned 0 stars!
