Reviews of iAnnotate 4

  • No Real Flexibility

    I am beginning to wonder which reviews are real and which are not. This is now the second pdf app that I’ve tried to use and the flexibility of it to pull files from iCloud and work on them, or notes, and “thought” I saved them is not real. I am happy that I did airdrop the 12 pdf’s I marked up and returned to students with feedback otherwise I would have lost them completely. They are not saved, or stored on the app as it seems to imply, and there is no way to save them on iCloud as I thought I would be able to so that I can access later. I was very much disappointed with how this app does not do or have all the functions it says it does or do. The eraser for it is also hard to use as easily as you would expect, marking and utilizing the tools are also not as easy as they say.
    Their customer service…I have yet to hear back from them with regards to my above requests to find out where those files have been stored because there is nothing with in the app or on my iPad, or on my iCloud. So those files have been lost, except for the sent ones to my students.
    Do not buy, I think many of these reviews are fake like many other pdf apps. I am very much disappointed with this.

  • Search no longer searches document I’m currently reading

    I have used and loved iAnnotate from its earliest iterations. It was originally how I justified my “need” for an iPad. So I have been a longtime fan and encouraged friends over the years to download it. Recently I have encountered 2 problems with the search feature that are frustrating. If I am reading a document and open the search function to search the document, it informs me at the bottom the hits for the search in my library but fails to show me the hits in the document I currently have open as it has always done in the past. The second issue is when I have the search open and the open another app, when I come back, the search is filled with a blue background and is unusable. I have to then quit iAnnotate and reopen to fix it.
  • Great app, but never any updates!

    I do all my grading and read pdf files with this app, and I’ve been using it for years. There is one much needed feature I wish they would implement: the ability to flatten multiple documents at once. Doing it one at a time for 30 student papers is a major pain. Also there is unfortunately no way to save and export your settings for use on another device. I just got a new iPad and I had to create from scratch my dozen or so customized stamps and toolbars.

    Update: this is still my grading app, but I am continuously disappointed by the lack of updates. iPads have gotten better technology over the years yet this app has not kept up. I have been begging them to institute a feature to flatten multiple documents at once. As a former computer programmer I know that can be done. I grade 30 papers I should not have to spend all this time flattening them individually.
    There needs to be a smarter arrangement of toolbars. I should be able to access more tools at once, where its through smaller icons or multiple bars displayed at once. And there should by now be OCR for text that are image files.

    And it should sync better across devices. My toolbars should be able to be mirrored on my phone or on a different iPad.

    I spent $10 on this app 13 years ago and it’s done it’s Job. But it needs to keep with the times.
