Top Pcmac Reviews

Overall very helpful but not exactly what I need

By jaimeleigh4 (Pcmac user)

I am in veterinary school and I use this app to take notes daily. It is nice that you can write on the PowerPoint or other document, my main issue is that there is no way of adding a blank space next to the PowerPoint to write notes on. I am one that uses the handout 3 slides/page notes when I print because I take so many notes. Currently I have to open everything on my computer, save it as a PDF with the notes format then move it over to google drive before I can open it on the app. It is very frustrating and I have yet to find an app that will let me do this without using my computer. I hope their developers keep this in mind because I have read about students equally as frustrated with me but no solutions have come. (I would use one note because they have this feature but I only have google accounts and that requires a Microsoft account) Sorry for the long review but this is great for those students who don't need a lot of space to write! (Except for the random times it decides to shut off but all annotations are saved)
Keeps getting worse

By nxs5 (Pcmac user)

Why does this app keep getting worse with every update? The problems with file management have been well documented. The latest change involves the navigation tool. It used to be on the left margin, and would show a list of icons representing each annotation you made, with page numbers indicated for each icon. Clicking on the icon brought you to that annotation in your document, and if you want to go to the next annotation, you simply clicked on the next icon. Now, that panel is a pop up menu, with no page number listed. So, in a 50 page document with 25 annotations, how do you begin to decide which icon to click if you want to go to an annotation on page 30? Then, after you click on an icon, the pop-up menu disappears, so when you realize you wanted to go to a different annotation, you have to bring up the pop-up menu again. Even worse, the menu does not indicate which icon you last clicked on, so you can’t even figure out which icon is for the next annotation, let alone an annotation that might be 10 pages further in the document. I’m ready to go back to version 3, or look elsewhere.
New to the app and enjoying it, but...

By Ivanabanana1 (Pcmac user)

I just downloaded this app, and I’ve been familiarizing myself with all of the tools. I think it is very useful; however, I was wondering about a few things: 1. Is there a way to set my Apple Pencil in “navigation mode” so that anytime I want to scroll with my pencil, it doesn’t automatically write? (I know I can scroll with my finger, but it would be great to be able to scroll with my pencil without writing.) 2. Can you add an “undo” tool that goes back maybe three or four times? That would be amazing! 3. Is there a way to add a note to the highlight that keeps the note the color of the highlight? This would be great for using a color coding system in my highlighting and attached notes to that specific highlight. I see that I can add a note from the highlight, but it doesn’t keep it the original color. I also see I can add a note from the “note tool” and change the color, but it would be so much more user friendly if whatever color you’re highlighting in, when you add a note, it’s the exact same color as the highlight. If you can make these changes, I’d love the app even more! Thanks for taking the time to read my review. 😊
Dropbox Connectivity Ruined in New Version

By FN1234### (Pcmac user)

Using iAnnotatePDF, I had everything at my fingertips, tons of reference material for my job that I could read and annotate whether I was online or out in the field far from wifi or cellular. If I was connected, my annotations instantly zipped via Dropbox to my desktop or wherever. If I was disconnected, the changes would sync once I got within range again. It worked PERFECTLY for me. Then came along the FANTABULOUS, EXCITING and INSANELY GREAT iAnnotate4, and now the thing seems to be designed solely for those who are ALWAYS CONNECTED to the cloud, or those who are willing (and able) to constantly move their documents back and forth via iTunes or something. I may be wrong (I often am) and there might be a way to make it work like before, but like most developers these days, you cannot find help. It WAS a good app back before the “improvement”, now I’m looking for some other way to do things the way I want to do them, not the way some dude in tight-jeans and green hair thinks is spiffy. Ruined my experience and opinion of this company! IF YOU HAVE A WAY I CAN SYNC TO DROPBOX WITHOUT CONSTANT CONNECTIVITY TO THE CLOUD PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
