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!

Betrayal

I started using this app at its early stage and was promised to get it for free for life for one time payment but now they went to monthly subscription model. Thus I can not use it anymore.

Integration with Logitech Muse

There needs to be better integration with the Logitech muse and vision pro. I can write in free space, and I make links across the document, but the interface is clunky at the moment, I think developing this capability further will be a greatly enhance the use ability of LiquidText in the VisionPro space.

Intuitive Workspace

Love this app. Using it is intuitive and the functionality is wholly unique from other workspace apps and its utility is not a redundancy. Most importantly, it functions outside of the scope of the tools available within Apple’s own productivity suite. It’s a future-proof product that doesn’t need AI to remain useful and relevant. Its interface is simple while feeling futuristic. I cannot understate how appreciative I am that AI is not needlessly embedded into every facet of this app. I would appreciate if the developers would allocate some resources to improve the app’s compatibility with native iPadOS accessibility software, namely its screen reader. Currently, it’s abysmal and the team could stand to consult an actually blind or visually impaired person for tips and feedback on how to translate some of the app’s best elements into accessible form. My last note is that I so desperately wish the app was available as a one time payment rather than on a subscription basis. I understand the case for using a subscription model, but in a world where no one owns even licensure to anything anymore, it be great to make a lump sum payment. Thanks for this app and I look forward to using it for as long as it’s around!

Great for Lawyers

This is a wonderful program that allows me to review large numbers of documents and organize my thoughts. Great for motion writing, appeals, trial preparation and case preparation n general. Well worth the money.

Seriously

The BEST iPad app ever made…hands down.

Images move while navigating

Amazing app for integrated study and research. One issue I observed is that the images move while navigating the workbook, especially if I am zoomed into the image. This is the only note app which lets me zoom into the images this much, allows writing on top of them as well as on the pdfs while allowing cross referencing. But this bug of moving images make this experience a bummer. Please add an option to fix the images in their place, or make the navigation smart enough to not move the images.

Active Reading made real

Wish I met it before.

Premium Features not working

I am paying for the Liquid Text Unlimited. For the last week, I have been receiving messages that my license is corrupt and I need to “restore purchases.” When I do that, it still tells me there is a problem with my license. I have reached out to support, who told me that have escalated it but “please be patient.” I get this message on both of my silicon Macs, plus my M4 iPad. I cannot sync between devices nor use any of the advanced features.

Near perfect study companion

Man…there’s NO OTHER OPTIONS out there…Excellent doc and research compiler!

Great. . . But. . .

This is an absolutely FANTASTIC product. Truly ground breaking. I am a recently retired physician. When I was in practice this was the absolute BEST way to read journal articles. I could make important facts jump out and easier to remember. Now I am retired and doing volunteer free medical care. I still have to read the journals but just can’t justify the price tag. I have become disillusioned by how everything is a subscription these days. I am on a subscription free diet. The free version is great but not a whole lot better than what I can do with any note taking app. So I have largely abandoned what was once among my most used apps. For professionals out there, I can’t recommend this highly enough. For the rest of us. . . , back to “Preview” or Apple Notes.

Kindly support arabic

This app is great for legal document discovery adding arabic would be great

Excellent, not mature enough for the price.

LiquidText does things that no other application does.
Ink links are absolutely excellent and highly versatile.

However, every time I leave this application, the workspace window crashes, and I have to restart the app. This instability is annoying, but does not cause me to lose work.

Multi window support for iOS is rudimentary at best. I cannot open multiple windows of LiquidText while I’m working, which is just frustrating.

Some features that are common across notetaking apps are missing from LiquidText for no reason. Good notes and all the others have OCR for handwritten text so that searches find your handwritten notes. This is missing.

Other apps allow you to scale and rotate, handwritten objects to help you, organize yourself, as well as change colors of things. I use this to track what I understand and what I do not. LiquidText does not have this.

In short, LiquidText is unique, but you will need to design a workflow that fits it before you are comfortable working with it. Additionally, expect some annoying bugs.

I am not sure if I would purchase it at full price at this moment.

The customer service department is decent though.

Please beware false free trial

I knew within a day of using this app that it wasn’t for me, and when I tried to cancel my membership, I saw that I had already been charged despite being within the 7 day trial window

Good App

This is a good app. But the highlight doesn’t appear properly in the canvas on IPads. It does however work will in Windows 11. I guess it is because they use their own engine which has problem with iOS.
