User reviews

Permenant is wonderful, but...

I just wish there were an iPad app that works full screen in landscape mode for those of us on iPad with keyboard rather than this iPhone app. I'll stick to working on the website rather in the app until then.
As a service though, Permanent.org is absolutely great and the answer to so many questions I had about how to preserve my work longer
