Margin 2 for FlashCards over margin 3

Brought margin 3 a while ago but just recently brought margin 2 because I like how I can hide the information on the BACK of the flashcard. However Margin 2 keeps crashing and closing out on me.

太难用

MarginNote team should offer free upgrade for old pro users

MarginNote note team show upgrade features for old pro users or you all should give free upgrade option to MarginNote 3 since we have paid already in the past.

This app is outdated and not a polished version.

Response from developer

Hello, MarginNote3 has been fully upgraded compared to MarginNote2, and has added many new features such as OCR, PDF plus or minus pages, highlighter highlights, video excerpts, etc. MarginNote3 is constantly upgrading and optimizing, while MarginNote2 will not add new features for the time being. It is. Old users have a half price to buy 3 offers

It’s great but have problems in downloading the book from cloud

I find it cannot download the books by the file, the uploading have the same problems.

Love it

This app is great because I love studying the Bible and other like material. The one thing that make it difficult is around the time it needs updating it has glitches. And it had some features they no long have that I loved but over all I use it EVERYDAY 🥰

Everything is gooooooood

The app is very easy and good

Apple Pencil friendlier please!

I love this app. The only thing that’s not perfect is when I am adding comments or annotations, it cannot be hand written. I tried to write in the margin, but there was not enough space left for me. It would be wonderful if you help solve this problem!

It’s the best app for PDF. But could you please develop the windows version, please?

It’s the best app for PDF. But could you please develop the windows version, please? There must be much much more users. Beyond words is my gratitude!!!

Response from developer

Sorry,sorry. We are focusing on perfecting MarginNote3 on IOS and macOS , so we have no time to launch PC, android or other versions. Really sorry.

No Google Drive? No use.

Well, my University keeps everything on Google Drive. So, without the ability to import the files from Drive, my Margin Note purchase was a waste of money and will never be used.

Everything are perfect except

Please inform me to change to 5 stars if you update a new version to fix the inability to change size of the picture dragged from Google .
Looking forward to it. Thanks.

Ugh

安装了pro之后一直卡机闪退 还不如正常版

Bad experience in hand writing

I use Apple Pencil,but my handwriting often disappear , I don’t know whether my way is wrong,but it’s really really bad experience

why cannot i edit the folder name?

it is so so annoying

One of the best note taking app I have ever used

iPad is just worthless without this app

Long winded praise (updated)

Letter to MargiNote developers

I just have to say that I've had MargiNote for years and I never truly got around to using it, thus it remained in my pile of apps (over 200 at least) on my home screen buried deep in a folder titled pdf, until I decided it was time to learn logic once and for all.

I basically went on a logic downloading binge, finding every logic resource I could and downloading it to MargiNote. I had over 100 PDFs that I downloaded, so much that the app was unresponsive because it had to upload all documents to iCloud Drive. So there I was, left with the daunting task of transferring them all to Readdle Documents (which was no easy task), as well as left with the realization that maybe this app wasn't for me because of sluggishness. Not only was I using the app completely wrong, as I found out later how to use it on a whim, but I almost missed out on an app I would say is as invaluable as Ulysses for iPad.

Now to the fun part, after I came to this realization, it wasn't until today that I was able to harness your app's true potential. I first just added a pdf from the internet and noticed it didn't have an outline (or so I thought), because under the outline tab I didn't see any writing. Then I decided to find a workaround for this, thus I added what I thought were notes at the time to the beginning of each chapter, so that I could at least go back and forth more easily. I found this to be somewhat cumbersome and I went about my day. Then I tried, on the hunch that maybe I did it wrong, to highlight something instead. As I was familiarizing myself with the navigation icons, I noticed the icon that looks like a bulleted list with a magnifying glass and assumed it was just search, boy was I wrong.

To my amazement, there the outline was in all its glory, but I wasn't done there, because it was at that moment that I figured out the aforementioned note icon was actually flash cards that can have a title, referenced text, notes, and question and answer. Now I was able to make notes that would double as my notecard answers. I simply tapped the notecard title icon, added a title that hinted at something in the notes, and typed parts of the term definition.

Last but not least, the export options are great, especially Omnioutliner. Omnioutliner is able to present my data from MarginNote into a list, which can hide the data I made on the notecards and it can link back to the specific notebook in MarginNote. I also like the iThoughts and Mindnode export. I'm not sure if it can export to Things 3 for iPad, but it's always an idea.

I feel this is now one of my favorite apps and it sits on my dock.

Thanks for making such a wonderful app being provided to the masses, especially power users like me.

Eventually I will review MarginNote 3, which at first glance is a huge improvement.

Great experience of structural reading and not-taking

A perfect tool for implementing syntopical reading from “How to read a book”.
