Best note-taking / document notation app for University students
I love Marginnote. I have tried (and paid for) many note-taking and document reading apps and this is my favourite one thus far. My favourite part is that there is no lag when transferring PDFs to the app (my major issue with previous apps) and it’s easy to organize all of your material by category. I have to read 100+ pages of academic writing for university each week, and this is the best app for writing notes and keeping all my readings in one place.
Incredibly Unreliable Sync
I have MarginNote installed on my MacBook, iPad and IPhone. I use it for my university courses, as the concept of being able to make flash cards while I read is tantalizing. However, I have used it since September and at least once a week the sync fails: notes lose their categories, fail to transfer between devices, etc. I have attempted to get help from their support, but no response. This is not a product you want to risk storing your notes in until it becomes more stable.
Perfect for highlighting long PDF books for exams.
Great Research and Learning Tool
Added a 200 page graphics heavy pdf file to this app to see how it performed.
Was a little difficult getting used to the interface. Was able to highlight text in different colours.
Greatest feature was being able to have the outliner and pdf open at the same time. If I forgot the reason for an annotation I could tap on it in the outliner and it jumps to that section in the pdf file.
I like reading articles from the web in this. App allows you to import pdf files as sources into a single notebook. Great feature to use when I come across something that updates previous information i’ve recorded. App seems to handle articles imported from the web as it turns then into pdf files.
If you use this on an Ipad grab yourself a keyboard to use. As i’ve read thought highlights i ended up retying then to shorten the notes.
Disappointing
I couldn't download from iCloud. Hard work trying to make it work.
Amazing!
Amazing!
Great study companion
Lives up to my expectation. Complexe but easy to use. Never had a single glitch. Automatic iCloud sync is great - no worries about loosing annotations.
Gem
A perfect single source app for mind mapping documents. Well worth the try. Too bad this app doesn't show well with keyword searches. Hope more people find this app.
Some PDF issues appear to be an uploading issue; that may be solved by a progress bar.
Developer has good feedback and update priority. Looking to upgrade after some more testing (50 item limit per notebook).
Great solution amongst many mind map/flash card/note taking apps out there that are too cumbersome (because you need to have multiple apps and physical books etc. [this is simple; one thing in front of you])
