(3) deleting a paper seems temporary - it comes back again.. Mods needed: (1) a more obvious new folder creation option ( it took me ages to find how to create a folder) (2) consistent stable operation without folders **Developer response:** 1,2,3 are fixed now. ### 4/5 — Great assistance *2018-04-12* I had problems and sent them an email with the issue I did get a response, however, and problem resolved. Probably my learning curve. ### 1/5 — Waste of a dollar *2015-08-22, version 2.1* Not even wasting another second of my life. Enjoy my dollar ### 1/5 — Useless!! *2015-03-25, version 2.1* Don't waste your money..it doesn't work👎 ### 1/5 — Too few colors *2015-03-07, version 2.1* Seems to work well but there are only 4 colors to choose from. Wasted a buck. ### 4/5 — Almost "it" *2015-03-01* Very good and almost exactly what I was looking. However needs an IOS 8 extension as well a Bookmarklet. Currently you need to leave Safari and your research mid-stream to visit this app and then return which isn't great for workflow. If this is added as promised it will be a very worthy contender to other read later apps as none of them offer pdf exports and unlimited highlighting/annotation and this does - all for 99p. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE *2015-01-30* This app is awful! Save your time and money! ### 1/5 — Force closes when extracting files *2015-01-09, version 2.0* You can only view uploaded PDFs then when you got to extract the files so that you can highlight it or mark it, the app force closes while extracting. This is happening on my iPad mini. Do not download. ### 1/5 — I lost my money and time for this useless app *2014-12-31* It's a hopeless application. You cannot use it on PDF documents saved in iBook, PDF and Dropbox directly. You have to download it into its own browser and the process is very complicated. ### 1/5 — La peor app *2014-12-02, version 1.9* Esta app no es nada practica y es inútil, no me gusto nada ### 2/5 — Fix this: Stubborn highlighting *2014-10-23* When highlighting, the app has a hard time adjusting the section. On sections, the app refuses to adjust the selection downwards, it just stubbornly selects the entire page section, or just automatically selects from left to right a random line of the paragraph. Hopefully this bug is fixed soon, looks like a good deal. Takes time to get used to, it's frustrating. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-09-04, version 1.7* I want my money back, it doesn't work ### 1/5 — Refund *2014-08-18, version 1.7* Please refund my card. Although it can be over whelming for Apple, they should certainly filter out con apps, fake apps, cheap apps or whatever you want to call it. ### 4/5 — Only app that highlights properly. *2014-08-13* I've been consistently frustrated at forwarding someone an article only to later realize that they've only skimmed it and haven't even noticed the most important parts. Finally, an app that does almost exactly what I need. It lets you highlight parts of web pages as well as adding comments to those highlights and then lets you email either just the highlights or the entire article including the highlights as well as including a link to the original article. What would really make this a five star app is if it also created a shortened link to your highlighted article that someone could view in any browser ( desktop or mobile) and when you click on a highlight with comments, your comment automatically pops up. Currently you have to scroll all the way to the end every time you want to read a comment. Still, it's a great app as is. ### 1/5 — R+ highlighter *2014-05-04, version 1.7* This app is garbage. Don't waste your money! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless on an iPad *2024-01-29* Not even worth the minimal cost ### 1/5 — This app is garbage *2019-09-03* I’m trying to use this app, because i’m attending college classes online, and my textbook is an ebook. I really wanted to use this app, to highlight important parts of the text, and the app doesn’t even work. Don’t bother downloading this, you will just be wasting your time ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2018-02-04* Needs cloud support, move along nothing to see here **Developer response:** RePaper works with iCloud but of course you need to turn ON iCloud on your device. It stores everything on local storage otherwise. ### 1/5 — Still doesn't work. Tutorial video gives code 404 message. *2016-09-16* Waste of my time and money. ### 1/5 — It does not work! *2016-01-16* Just bought it and it doesn't work. Instruction video is missing, link broken. Interface is not intuitive. ### 1/5 — Can I have my dollar back please? *2016-01-10, version 2.5* Video tutorial has been removed and it's impossible to get the app to work. Don't do it. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-12-31* Bookmarklet doesn't work - 'address invalid', so that's a fat lot of good. Only 79p so at least I haven't wasted a shedload of cash. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money *2015-12-21, version 2.5* Description makes it appear simple, and clear. However, the app is completely useless; It will not find your documents on the phone, or any other installed app. A complete waste of money. ### 1/5 — Clunky *2015-11-12* Won't allow me to highlight on iPhone- and I even have the big boy :( ### 1/5 — Worst application ever *2015-10-07, version 2.2* Completely useless and definitely not worth the money, or any money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfeito! *2023-09-26* O melhor app para destacar texto nas páginas da web e fazer comentários. O diferencial é que você pode também destacar em PDF on-line diretamente no site e fica salvo no app. Ainda pode importar seu PDF para o app. 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Keeps Getting Better *2018-11-22* I have been using this app for years. There’s a small learning curve, but once you understand how it works you’ve got a powerful tool for highlighting text and making notes on articles published to web pages. I have gotten great support when I ran into problems, and recommend this app for anyone looking for a powerful online text highlighter. The latest updates are beautiful! ### 5/5 — Best app for highlighting text in web pages and PDF files *2017-08-18, version 2.8* Easy to use and comprehensive. Bookmarks and Folders make organization of articles a snap. Tech support is responsive to questions not covered by the video or list of FAQ. I tried two other apps before finding this one, but this was the only one that met all my text-highlighting needs. ### 5/5 — Great app with strong customer support *2015-11-15* A stable app with all the promised features. Allows you to sync documents on iPad and iCloud using iCloud and arrange them in custom folders. Ability to highlight the article and share highlights (w or w/o article) using email is unique. Strongly recommended for students and people in academia. ### 5/5 — Perfect app *2015-01-01, version 2.0* This app is great. Simple and well designed. Exactly what i wanted ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2014-04-02* Finally an iPad app that allows you to highlight PDFs and then print off a list of them at the end! Indispensable as a uni student! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2014-03-29* This app is great. PDF’s require an extra second or two of touch in order for the highlight parameters to kick in, but once you get the hang of it the app does everything you need it to do. It’s perfect for editing my writing on the subway. ### 5/5 — Excellent study tool *2014-03-21* This is an outstanding app for students. I am studying for my medical specialist exams. RePaper has allowed me to gather information from multiple different websites, summarise the key points and email the summary to myself. No typing required - all with the swipe of a highlighter. I use this app many times per day. ### 5/5 — The app for knowledge work! *2014-02-18* I spend so much time reading on the web, and this app helps me process everything, helping me turn facts into knowledge by storing and displaying highlights. This app is amazingly useful for highlighting web pages and PDFs. Worth every penny! ### 5/5 — No Regrets! *2014-01-29, version 1.4* I love this app!
