Description

*** Named “Most Innovative iPad App of the Year” by Apple App Store ***

LiquidText offers a fast, natural way to review, gather, and organize information across all your documents and webpages—then apply the results to writing reports, meeting prep, or simply studying. Pull out key facts and connect them together, squeeze a document to compare sections, draw a line to connect ideas in different documents, comment on multiple pages at once, build upon your thoughts, and much more.

Editors’ Notes

This app offers the flexibility you’ve always wished for when taking notes on longer documents. Quickly drag excerpts to a separate workspace, make comments, compare distant sections and more. You’ll forget how you ever read without it.

Clipboard feature?

I paid for the full version, and although it was expensive (student price) I’d say it was worth it.
If you struggle with writing notes the “traditional way” I’d recommend this app. With unlimited space I’m able to note down and link the important information I read and learn left, right, up and down.

This app also works really well with the pencil and it allows you to use your handwriting for note taking too, which can be a rarity for apps with mind-mapping features.

However LiquidText does miss an important feature of pasting images/screenshot/etc from the clipboard. E. g.: If I were to insert the periodic table of elements into my document, I’d first have to upload the image, or a document containing the image, and then crop it from the uploaded file it put it on my work space.
(Please correct me if I’m wrong about this issue). This is actually very annoying..

Also having the option of writing on a white background would be nice

Disappointing 👎👎👎👎👎

Interesting app with loads of potential, but terrible time-wasting indifferent 🙈🙊🙉 customer support. the developer is unwilling to answer any questions and refuses to say anything regarding making the app accessible to people with dyslexia. Beware that Apple's VoiceOver does not work at all in this app.
