LiquidText PDF Reader

After purchasing a subscription to this app, the software persistently failed to register my internet connection, displaying an error message to that effect. As a result, I am unable to sign into the app to use my subscription. I spent a significant amount of time exchanging emails with the manufacturer and no solution was provided. They refused to issue a refund, sayiung it was a matter of Apple. Apple refused to issue a refund withotu explanation. I am now out of pocket for an app that I cannot use. Disgraceful!

This is the probably the most powerful note taking tool that I found so far. It provides basically everything that a researcher requires for their daily reading. Although the app crashes occasionally. I want to make several suggestions in terms of functionality: 1. Allowing copy of pens and highlighters can be super helpful. I’d like my quick access tool bar to have multiple pen sets, where the pens have different colors/line widths. 2. Add rectangle/circle tool for selecting a large portion of texts. Many thanks for making this app. 😊

Objectively the best tool for working with large quantities of PDFs for academic research

I love the app. I've always struggled with finding the best way to annotate my university texts, and this app has solved my problems. However, I've recently had issues with the app freezing. It doesn't crash, but I cannot click on anything or scroll or make the app function.

This app is a great idea, however it is very limited in use, when you want to export notes you've highlighted it has a limited function on how you want to export it and you end up exporting all this useless stuff you have to edit out in Word. It also doesn't always copy the text across properly, sometimes it even reads the words wrong. I've applied the pdfs to other programs that do not misread the text. If a PDF you have hasn't had OCR, then it won't highlight the text, there are other apps that pick up if your PDF hasnt had a OCR on it and converts it so you can highlight the notes. Overall, its a really expensive program for something that can't do what it should be doing. I think it will get better in time, but that depends on the devleopers improving it's functionality and flexbility.

It’s a simple equation, if your work depends on speed, organisation, agility and confidence in accuracy, then there is is absolutely no substitute for LN

This app showed promise, but it keeps freezing and can’t read some words/numbers in a document, despite its a PDF with OCR in it. I’ve had other apps that copy and paste better. When I try use select more than one text to make multiple highlights for auto excerpt, it can’t or won’t pull all highlighted text into one box, in fact it only shows one thing that was highlighted as auto excerpted, but nothing else I highlighted when I used the select more. When you want to export notes, it has this silly thing of titling ‘object group’ which like, no one wants or needs. So I have to spend my time editing all that out of my notes. So much for a time saver. Also the notes export options are limited, It also keeps freezing randomly too. My ipad is less than a year old, so I don’t think it’s the ipad. None of my other apps freeze. Just this one. I hope to see these features improved in the near future. Once these are fixed, I’ll update my review.

Fantastic when it comes to research, reading and being able to link information across documents. I have taken some stars off because there are three important missing features for me: 1. the ability to set default excerpt and comment text sizes for each workspace. 2. The ability to adequately format workspace exports for print (for example for open book university exams). Open book often means hard copy only. While I appreciate the paper-free design of the app, there needs to be some efficient way to generate usable legible print outs when needed. Lastly, 3. I have noticed that some LiquidText files get corrupted and become unusable.

It would be better for large documents if there was an option for a pdf navigation pane so sections and subsections could be bookmarked and quickly accessed. This would be particularly useful when multiple tag categories are already in use.

Four years ago I reviewed the iPad app and said that it was almost perfect for a trial lawyer. It has only improved since then. Most of the issues have been addressed and they are constantly working to improve it. There really isn’t another app with the same functionality.
