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

Tired of subscription only apps
I wish developers would offer a one-time purchase price along with the subs....
Legacy not honored
As a legacy (original) user and beta tester I was thrilled when the developer announced that original, first time supporters (legacy) users would receive the app for free once completed. This promise wasn't honoroed and worse: anyone who brought this to the developer's attn was attacked by the developer, called a liar and cut off from the app entirely. Whether this is a great app (there are better) or not, is it ok to support those who maim those who trusted and supported them? I don't want this app and I am not writing this to somehow get this app. I am also not writing this to harm anyone. I am writing this because it's true; do with it what you will. And don't complain when you experience the same thing. THINK honor Be
Good product
The only thing that would be better is a formatting option on the notes section that would allow for indentation to further section out the notes. Very beneficial for PA school
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
