### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2016-02-24, version 2.0*

Right before the bar exam, which I needed it the most.

### 1/5 — Folia

*2015-12-31, version 1.6.1*

I have been using Branchfire's iAnnotate App  since it was released. It is a great multifunctional app ideal for PDF and PPT converted to PDFs. I was looking forward to some innovative enhancements over iAnnotate in the new Folia app but have been VERY disappointed to say the least. In my opinion, stick with iAnnotate until they fix this app - nothing really useable in it especially in the annotation area.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time

*2015-12-28, version 1.6.1*

App will not let me sign in with my GMail account. Keeps saying my email and password don't match, even though I use the same to sign into GMail!! E-mailed support got no reply.

### 1/5 — Need account

*2015-12-27, version 1.6.1*

Can't even try it without creating an account. Whatever. Deleted

### 3/5 — Not quite ready for prime time

*2015-10-29, version 1.5.1*

Not a bad start, but it still lacks basic functionality. One of the glaring things missing is the ability rotate pages in case of documents pages are upside down. It's nice, but it's not a replacement for anything yet.
