Great app!
Where have you been all my life, Highlights? I have been waiting for this app for years and years and years!!! Great app!
Night mode on iPad?
Thanks for the nice app. Can you also support night mode on iPad that replaces the PDF background color to black?
Love the concept, frequent crashes make use difficult
I love the ease of use and would make note taking for online classes so much easier, but I get frequent slowing of the app that leads to crashing after a few annotations, and the loss of some annotations. This just leads to repeating work. I’ve tried every workaround I can think of to keep it running smoothly, and even reached out to the developer for help over a month ago with no response. I’m not going to pay for the pro version if I can’t get through a 2 page pdf without multiple crashes
Favorite annotation app, but….
I love this app so much but on the iPad it’s buggy. It clears annotations on its own which means you miss certain highlights. If this is fixed … I’ll pay for it and give it 5 stars
AMAZING
BEST APP EVER
Too few features in free version
Apple files/preview/notes already does nearly everything this app does. For me to use your app on a regular basis, even if free, it has to provide some additional functionality over what the free Apple apps do. I was disappointed that export annotations is not available in the free version. You can export by using print and save to PDF. In short, there is no value add over Apple’s free apps, therefore, no incentive for me to use it, like it and reward the developer by upgrading to the pro version. With everyone vying for subscriptions rather than straight up selling an app the old way, you got to give me something of value before I break out my wallet. Thanks.
Won’t open pdf from Dropbox when “File Name Not Valid”
Works great but it stopped opening pdfs from my Dropbox saying the file name was invalid… the file name it showed wasn’t even the actual file name. Not sure why it started doing that but I have to go find a different option since I’m in grad school and have to read 100 pages a week. Just can’t get behind trying to figure out what’s going wrong.
Freeze after 1min
