Love it

I am a PhD student and this is my favorite note-taking app

Wonderful Idea so sloppy licensing

I have used this app on and off for years. It’s a useful app for people how do research and have hundres of pdf documents to absorb and linnk and understand. However, Every time I install the app on a new device I have a couple of days getting ti to recognize my unlimited subscription. I really think they should be able to fix this, It’s frustrating, and needlessly frustrating, and can do with out the AI guys, get the basics right first~ I would gladly give the app five starts if they could just take care of business.

Dark Mode

It is a great for research and studying lots of PDFs. But since many people use it at night, the lack of dark mode is a tremendous downback.

Amazing! Best product of its kind.

This has changed and revolutionised my working life. Such a good product for working professionals that deal with lots of documents and presentations/oral submissions.

Outrageous subscription price for stagnating product quality

After spending the $135 (CAD) for the one year subscription in 2024, | cancelled half way through the year. I felt like there were so many issues not being addressed after repeated requests from users, and I did not think $135 a year was worth it for a service that was not actively listening to its users, and constantly having bug issues you would only expect from a newly developed program instead of an established one. I revisited the app today, and tried to find any updates to the app on their website, but they haven't posted any news since April 2025. Their Youtube channel posted recently, but aside from now being available for iPhone, there hasn't been many major updates besides their constant bug fixes. I then considered paying the one time fee for the pro version which is listed as $80 on their website, come to find out that it is listed as $100 on the app. They may have been named "Apple Most Innovative App of the Year" in 2015, but it is clear that the only things that have changed since then is their predictable, but no less disappointing, escalating monetization of a mediocre and underperforming product through overpriced subscriptions. Save your money!
