Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
This digital notepad and PDF markup tool covers all the bases. Create notes with your keyboard or Apple Pencil: the app transforms your hand-drawn shapes into perfect ones, and can even convert your handwriting to text.
only 2 things are missing: split vieuw & classification of favourites
Would get 5 stars if only 2 things weren't missing:
1. The split vieuw that's available on ipad is not available on the mac version (really a shame cause i use split vieuw very often)
2 (Missing in both mac version and ipad version) is a classification system for favourites:
I want to be able to see my favourite maps (without all my favourite pages and documents addad cause it looks a little messy now so I can't use is), or i would like to be able to select just 1 document & then only see the favourite pages for thad document)
But except for those 2, it's a really nice app: the best I've had so far (and I've tried a lot of different apps). So I would give 5 stars if these problems were fixed.
Très bonne application de productivité
