It has a lot of potential and all the options I needed to enjoy my pdf/epubs -1 star for not being able to draw on ePub books.
Good but there’s still space for improvement

Very useful app. I use it a lot to hand-annotate PDFs. But I wonder why the pen annotation is sort of blurry. It also depends on how much you zoom when you write the annotation. Can’t the hand drawings be converted to “vector graph” type of format so that it is sharp at any zoom? I think that would make the annotation look better. Also I notice when you hand-write, the software automatically smoothens the stroke, which I don’t like a lot.
Zero customer support, missing basic file management functions

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.
It is desirable to have a combination lock feature in the next release

Notes and highlights will jump to next page

I want to know why my notes and highlights some pages will jump to next several pages! Though it does not happen every time, it kind of bothers me if I want to take notes on the next page! Other aspects are all good!
I want to write notes on ePub with Apple Pencil
Djw2008
This app is great and seems very powerful, but my goal was to be able to write notes in an ePub with my Apple Pencil, not to type notes in an extra margin. I want to write in the book like it was a physical book. Please make this happen.
Apple Pencil integration
The Father's Daughter
Just got a large iPad Pro and Apple Pencil since I do a lot of research and writing. I absolutely love the writing experience and stumbled upon Liquid Text app which is the most fantastic app I have ever used. It allows me to write anywhere on the screen to notate a pdf document and has so many other features that I am discovering. It is quite user friendly. Then, I found MarginNote which if I had seen first, I probably would have purchased it right away. Instead I have been using the free version and have watched numerous tutorial videos on Youtube that help you get up and running. It is a very versatile app and I wanted to love it as I do Liquid Text. But, sadly, it only allows me to use my Apple pencil to notate the pdf document. I have tried using it in the margin where, yes, I do want to write notes, but cannot. Maybe I am missing a step somewhere—I did write to Service to ask. And it is great to hear so quickly back. Official response is below. It is good to know there is a way to use the pencil more. Hopefully, there will be more integration with the pencil in the future.
