User reviews

This is the one

Slick interface. Highlights, text notes, handwritten notes, image capture, annotation view, infinite canvas, PDF exports, all for a one-time price, which is a rarity these days. I’m very glad I found this. It beats the competition which charges more than this one time fee for just a few months of subscription. If I can make a suggestion, it would be toggleable dark mode, as I don’t always want to have my highlights and pdf inverted. Stellar app. Get it.
