Essential to learning, especially a new language
Komocode

I’m currently learning Japanese, and this is such a delightful tool to use. - I can highlight text and instantly turn it into flashcards (even exports to Anki). This is critical to learning new Japanese words I don’t recognize. Also with two taps, I can get the immediately translate it via Google. - The tagging system is brilliant. I tried other apps like Bear, but Bear is incredibly stupid for making it a subscription model. This app is a one time payment for all of the features of Bear and more. - Bulk editing is amazing and very quick to use. I usually don’t write 5 star reviews, but I feel like this app deserved to be talked about.


Zero customer support, missing basic file management functions
jetsamywhatsome

I’ve been using MarginNote (not pro) and wanted to upgrade to full version, and as suggested there are two ways, I downloaded ‘margin note pro’ fresh hoping it would sync without an issue. But it had an issue (margin note has several missing features and issues, it’s a separate discussion below), so I tried to restore purchase in the original non-pro app ‘margin note’ and it failed to restore purchase. Since the popup said I better just click ‘upgrade’ if ‘restore purchase’ doesn’t work and it will not charge again for the paid customer, I did just that. And I got the receipt for both, I was charged for both. Sent the email right away, and didn’t hear any response from them. Zero customer support. I had to talk to Apple support to cancel the charge. Margin note, explain what happened. For missing features and issues, 1. cloud sync unreliable, limited. I have over 1000 files, only couple hundreds are on icloud. I need to have all of them in icloud, whether or not they have notes attached. You can upload files to icloud by selecting one by one, when you have many files this is too much of a labor. So this is related to #2. 2. impossible to select “all” for import, send, edit In general it’s impossible to ‘select all’ or select big chunk of files with a lasso tool or drag select tool for any operation in MarginNote, need to select one by one, such a pain. This is very basic file management feature, why not have it. Lots of use cases, change icloud setting, change category for subset of files, send multiple files to another device if not synced automatically, uploading & downlowding all files etc. 3. separate the ‘listing’ and ‘downloaded’ function Once you imported a file/book on one device and ‘cloud’ option is default, you should be able to see it on another device without downloading it.


Great app ? ?
CPSSNY

This is a great app, i use it all the time to condense articles down to just the information I want. It takes a bit of time to get the hang of, and there are still some aspects of it that I need to understand, but haven’t for lack of need. My one big wish it that it would export to MarkDown. Losing the highlight color would not matter, I just want the structured text that I have gathered. When exporting, I wish there were an option to export without the highlight colors & links so I don’t have remove the background colors and links in other apps. I just want the text. Highly recommended app for anyone who reads and gathers/takes notes.


Why not Dropbox?
BRNGBRNG

Would you add Dropbox for sync?

Please help
Cybersco

How the hell do you use this app? Any other note app is easy to use, but not this one. Is there a document or guide??? It seems like a loser to me.......

翻页建议 page-turning suggestions
Ewaan

flip/scroll的使用体验不好,建议取消全部的no page-turning effect。对我个人而言翻页体验是第一位的,PDF用GoodReader, epub用Apabi,主要原因是翻页快,没有任何翻页滞后。希望改善,谢谢。


Wow
