iAnnotate’s award-winning interface and customizable set of features make it the go-to app for taking notes on lecture slides, annotating important business documents, revising screenplays, grading papers, and much more. Read on to learn about the great capabilities of iAnnotate:

IPHONE: Now you can use iAnnotate on your phone, with all of the great features you’ve come to expect on your iPad.

IPAD PRO: iAnnotate works great with the iPad Pro. Automatically annotate when you use the Apple Pencil and easily pan, zoom, scroll with your fingers — no tool switching required. Get more work done with iOS multitasking and smart keyboard shortcuts.

ANNOTATE: Choose from the pen, highlighter, typewriter, stamp, straight-line, note, underline, strikeout, photo, voice recording, arrow, rectangle, circle, and date stamp tools.

CUSTOMIZE: Drag and drop tools to your custom toolbars. Swipe between toolbars, or open the Toolbox to access all your tools.

ACCESS: Connect with Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive (including OneDrive for Business) or open PDFs directly from email and other apps.

SEARCH: Search documents in your local library and throughout your cloud storage.

SHARE: iAnnotate saves your markups directly to the PDF, so they can be viewed and edited in external PDF readers.

FLATTEN: Compress your annotations onto the document to prevent modification. This is useful for preserving signatures or for preventing recipients from deleting or changing your annotations.

WEB MARKUP: Open a web capture tab and find the site you want to mark up. iAnnotate will convert it to a PDF for annotation.

NAVIGATE: Explore your documents by thumbnails, bookmarks, annotations, or search results.

UNLIMITED TABS: Open multiple documents in tabs, and easily navigate between them, on both tablet and phone.

TWO DOCUMENTS: Work on two documents side-by-side, for even greater productivity.

MANAGE: Arrange documents by folders and sort contents by date added, date last opened, or alphabetical order.

CREATE: Create brand new PDFs with blank, lined, or graph-paper pages.

MODIFY: Add, delete, rotate, and rearrange pages in your documents.

SUMMARIZE: Forward a summary of your annotations as an email or a new PDF.

SECURE: Full support for the iOS Data Protection and Keychain functions.

Great app but icloud based saving seems to have broken down

,h. lkndgs on

This is one of my indispensable ‘multiple times a day’ apps, but recently the backup to icloud has ground down to a substandard level. Saving and opening folders is very slow and it randomly saves multiple versions of a document (slowing it down more). The support desk hasn’t been able to provide solutions.

A great app but what support?

ICPW on

I have used iAnnotate for years, I’d be lost without it however just lately it refuses to air print. I have a workaround, I send the pdf file over to the files app and print from there. IAnnotate finds the printer and then it looks as if everything is ok, I print the file but nothing happens, no errors and no print out. As I can print from other apps I have to assume the fault is in iAnnotate. I hope it’s fixed in the next update and soon. I still give iAnnotate 5 stars as it’s a brilliant app. Update: The print issue remains, an unsupported app is a poor offering and there has been ample time to fix this issue. As it stands the app deserves only 2 ⭐️s.

Love it, but no OneDrive shared libraries

Rocky Rock on

I love using this app, but all the pdfs I need are increasingly on shared libraries in OneDrive. iAnnotate can access OneDrive, but not the shared libraries. It may force me to leave this app after many years which is sad.

Eraser

Dan210384 on

The app is great. But you cannot erase something you’ve drawn/annotated. The eraser only works for immediate annotations. Either this or it erases all annotations on the page. That’s a bit of a stubborn/clumsy eraser. Erasers are important. Please fix it so it works like a real eraser. DA.

Search function not working

P13andy on

Excellent app, I’ve had it for a few years and love it. But in the last few days the search function has stopped working. I have tried it on files that I regularly use, but there’s no response now. I see that there has been an update in the last week, supposedly fixing the search function. I did not have a problem with this before, but now I do. My app is upto date.

Why annotations spontaneously deleted?

almostPhD on

App was really great, but last few times I used it, after I saved and re-opened, all my annotations were gone. Has happened a few times, and resulted in hours of work lost. Really need this fixed, otherwise is not useable and cannot trust it for pdf annotations.

Woeful

Dhehjefj on

It seems this app has decayed to the point that it simply is a waste of money.

Box doesn’t work, paid for nothing

WowManMan on

“There seems to be a problem with this app” error

Great App but want some new features

GalaxyWriter on

Absolutely love this app as a PDF reader. The annotation tools are great too. But I hope there can be a dark reading mode and maybe a yellow background mode. To match the system’s dark mode and result in a better reading experience in the dark environment. Otherwise it is pretty good.

One major flaw for me

2019 rt on

You can’t seem to move the tabs to the left of the screen. I have been using the earlier version for years and it is great. The new version has some great features lacking in the last version, but, you can’t place the tool bar on the left in the new version. Why? I’m right handed like a few other people so I’m guessing I’m not the only one who will be frustrated trying to annotate with the tab open under my hand. With the tabs on the left my hand wouldn’t be drawn across the screen.
