I have students of all different reading levels and they all read at different speeds. Some of them take notes to help them retain what they read. There should not be an auto flip feature at all!! It’s very rude and annoying. ### 4/5 — Anonimo *2021-04-30, version 1.19.15* Come si cambia la lingua ?🙈 ### 2/5 — Bella all’inizio *2021-04-06, version 1.19.15* all’inizio mi era molto utile, mi scannerizzava i testi però ora forse ,per colpa di un aggiornamento non ho più la funzione scanner. Era molto utile ### 4/5 — Ecco la mia recensione *2020-12-05, version 1.19.11.1* Quattro stelle perché secondo me è davvero utile quando devi scrivere una cosa sul computer e poi stamparla e poi non ne ho messe cinque perché se tipo riprendi un’altra cosa per sbaglio si scrive anche quelle cose però dopo questo non c’è nient’altro da criticare 💓 ### 3/5 — Issues *2020-11-16* I pressed on the allow access to camera and all photos but all that shows up is a black screen. When I press the button to take a picture it takes the picture but I can’t see what I’m taking a picture of. Is this a tech issue? I heard really good things about this app and am confused! **Developer response:** Hello Emma, this issue has been resolved. Please make sure the app is updated. Thank you so much for being a valued member of our community! ### 2/5 — Why can’t developers be smart? *2020-02-14* What is the quote extends across two pages, front and back? Duh! And why not, instead of cropping your picture to choose the text, which you always have to edit, allow the user to finger swipe the area I want to OCR. Come on! **Developer response:** Hey there! Thank you for the feedback. The feature regarding OCR you requested is actually on our next-steps list. For the two page scan for highlights, we can send you a video on how to do it, just contact us at hello@getunderline.com. Underline is still a young app and we are working every day to make it better. We are more than aware that some places still need work so we appreciate your feedback. We are happy that you use Underline and if you think that it has value could you reconsider your review? We promise you won't be disappointed! 🤩 ### 4/5 — Great app but lacking export functionality *2020-02-12* I love the features of the app - I’m surprised an app like this exists, with all the features I was looking for. But, it doesn’t let me export data (or maybe it does and I don’t know?) out of it so I can store it on a note taking web app to view on my computer. There is only one email address to give feedback and that seems to be a wrong one. Idk how else to give feedback. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We are sorry about the feedback email address but thank you for pointing it out. We will fix it right away, but in the meantime, you can send us a note at hello@getunderline.com. As for the export data request, it may be something we'll consider in the future. Aside from this, if you think Underline is a great app perhaps can you reconsider your review? Thank you again! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-12-03* Love It **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app to have if you want to store book electrically *2019-11-15* Dear developer, I am a very lazy person. So I want things work efficiently. I find out this app work efficiently among the bunch of scan apps on AppStore. Great way to copy books. On iPad Pro, the screen size is not actually fit. Once the photo is taken from the book, there is a way to export texts through other apps. What I want hope is that I could export those texts into GoodNotes. It will save much time. I hope so. I hope you guys can corporate with GoodNotes or something like that to make this feature that I suggested. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rien trouvé *2023-10-10* Je n’ai trouvé aucun des livres que je recherche Donc je souhaite annuler ma période d’essai immédiatement ### 1/5 — Pensavo un’altra cosa…. *2023-05-17, version 2.1.2* Prima di installare l’app ho guardato se ne avessi avuto bisogno… purtroppo non è così! Io avevo capito che si facevano riassunti sui testi, non solo sui libri. Sono delusa anche perché non è spiegato benissimo, l’app può migliorare di molto. ### 1/5 — This used to be so good *2021-11-11* Update Nov 11, 2021: lol so much for “our current plan is to continue to offer everything free” imagine my surprise when I updated this app, went to check the “improvements” and suddenly had to pay $15/month to scan pages. I mean awesome that I have bold and italic in my notes now I guess, when they also took away the ability to keyword search within highlights. April 18, 2021: (two stars) When I first downloaded this app a year ago it was everything I could ever want. It was accurate in its scanning and let me keep all my underlined and highlighted book passages in one place. Support was responsive when I emailed to ask if bold and italic text was on the horizon. However, in the past few months it’s gotten buggy to the point of being almost unusable. It’s so bad I’ve been scouring the internet for a suitable replacement. I’m wondering if the developers have abandoned this app for their newer, paid app, which I tried (that one has bold and italic text options) but immediately canceled and deleted because I have no interest in any of its features besides storing book passages, which is why, in theory, I have this app. Regardless, it’s still the best I’ve found at what it does and I’ve managed to find some workarounds for the most frustrating issues, so it does get a couple stars. This is absolutely an app I’d be willing to pay for — probably not a subscription but certainly a one-time fee — if it was as functional as it could be. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback lindsay. We absolutely have not abandoned this app. If you have any specific bugs you'd like to report, please, please let us know! We are updating the app, publishing book summaries on a constant basis, and the text extraction functionality you're referring to as you favourite is being constantly updated and perfected. The bold and italic features you requested should be part of the app, please make sure you're updated. About the one-time fee, our current plan is to continue to offer everything free. Again, thank you for your feedback and it would be tremendously helpful if you could upgrade to a slightly higher rating, since our rating is something extremely important in our company's evolution. A 5 star would be amazing. We are here to help. Waiting on any feedback! Thank you again! ### 1/5 — Avis *2021-11-11* On ne peut pas annuler le paiement sur l’application ! Aucuns moyens. ### 1/5 — It’s not free as claimed *2021-11-10* I click on the X button because i don’t want a paid plan.. then another popup appears saying that you have a gift for me.. another paid plan is not a gift for me.. you could just have shown it to me in the plans.. i clicked the X button.. does that not communicate what i want.. theres no way i can read a free book on this app.. i can only get gifts that i need to pay for. ### 1/5 — app non chiara *2021-08-25, version 1.19.17* non riesco a leggere un libro che ho cercato e messo nei miei “book”, non capisco l’utilità di quest’app ### 1/5 — Ragazzo arrabbiato *2021-04-13, version 1.19.15* Quest’app è stata creata per regalo assumere i testi facendo una foto, a me propongono solo dei libri che nessuno leggerà mai 😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — No non ci siamo *2021-02-16, version 1.19.13* Questa app è stata creata per riassumere testi non riscriverli sul cellulare non ci siamo! Vorrei che esistesse la funzione zero stelle non ve le meritate nemmeno una ma purtroppo la devo mettere sennò non mi invia il commento... ### 1/5 — Lost interest *2020-04-08* Launch app. Scroll. What do I see? Mike Robinson Obozo. NO THANKS!! ### 1/5 — No tech support *2020-01-29* Had a question about how to edit text that was inaccurately scanned into a note (no, too many errors to correct using just an iPhone keyboard). Never got response. Also, instructions are lacking on how to scan pages from a book without creating a zillion individual notes (or how to consolidate those notes into one manuscript). NOT happy. Deleting app. **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry that you had some issues with the Underline app. We are still working on improving the app, as we are pretty young, as a team and also as a product, so we might have some parts where we still need to work on. For the email part, there was an issue that we weren't aware of, so please send us a note to hello@getunderline.com. Your feedback is extremely valuable, even if you are no longer using Underline. Thank you again for your time and maybe, someday, you will be back in the Underline Community! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Abbastanza bene *2024-05-15, version 2.1.2* Vorrei libri più moderni ### 5/5 — Pain and Agony: Updated!! *2022-10-12* GOD BLESS THE CREATORS OF THIS APP AND BASMOS. If you want context read the below script but if not just know that these developers have saved all my data after a near heart break. Go download Basmos: reading tracker or whatever. Made my entire day! rant:The previous version of this app, I believe called Basmos was amazing. I took notes on the books I was reading, took pictures of important quotes. It saved my reading log and I could go back to any book and look at previous digital annotations. Until tragedy struck and they somehow updated this god forsaken all into a useless waste of data. It deleted all of my books and notes that I worked tirelessly on. And don’t get me wrong I know there is another app through this company now named basmo but it is far to late for redemption. I went through the 5 stages of grief when all my notes were deleted and it genuinely put me into a reading slump. So please summary Z if you can find it in your heart to restore my data I would consider taking down this scathing review and kissing whoever is in charge. -A girl who really like her online annotations. **Developer response:** Hi, if you could send us an email at hello@basmo.app we would be glad to help. Your quotes and annotations are not gone! Thanks ### 5/5 — Bellissimaaaaaa❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣 *2021-10-27, version 1.20.1* App molto utile grazie ha questa app posso leggere i riassunti dei miei libri preferiti 🤩 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Perfect for quotes *2021-08-17* This app is super for saving the parts of books that you want to remember. The scanning works very good and the way the books are presented looks very good. I recommend this app to anyone who enjoys reading printed books. ### 5/5 — Come funziona? *2021-03-24, version 1.19.14* Sinceramente non capisco come funziona sta app, entro scansiono pagine e non mi dà il siassunto o altro..... potete mettere la lingua italiana per favore? ### 5/5 — Very good app *2020-12-28* Personally I found the app very useful.
