LiquidText Reviews

The synchronizing. The management. and the ease of use.

OCR needs to have more languages. Adobe has Hebrew.

The ability to link from a precise point in a document to a word or pages document allows me to navigate through a large volume of complex documents quickly. I am able to use the word or pages document to develop a range of additional documents including submissions, cross examination and advices while retaining the links in the original document.

There are two things that would vastly improve the app: 1. separate the workspace into tabbed sections so notes are easier to find. The workspace quickly becomes too cluttered to be of much use when dealing with multiple complex issues. Having a separate space for different topics such as one for each witness or issue would be great. 2. Being able to collaborate across multiple users. When working with other barristers, we end up with separate projects with our own links that cannot be shared.

The canvas along the documents with the ability to jump back and forth

Still not stable enough for working together on one project. Partially due to synchronisation issues, and the approach of synchronising the whole project, when only some parts have been change.

Great app to process documents, extract ideas and construct content maps. LiquidText is superb when it comes to combining original content with notes and organizing information in user-generated maps. I haven't seen anything similar. Kudos to the design team.

Unfortunately, LiquidText jumped on the monthly subscription bandwagon and extended features are only available if you "subscribe". As I write, HBO Max, Disney, Netflix and other subscription based content providers are seeing users dropping their subscriptions in record rates. Users simply can't keep up with incremental players with pay-per-view business models. They will eventually pick and chose the vital few. I see this coming to software as well. The tide of SaaS apps will become unmanageable and we will migrate to the vital few. From the company's perspective recurring income is seductive, until you realize that it has it's limits.

If LiquidText has any intent of growing into a serious long-term player in the software field, I would highly recommend they reassess their business model. I would gladly pay more for additional features if I'm offered an option that doesn't tie me to a subscription for life. The App AGENDA has an interesting business model where you make a purchase and any upgrades developed during the next year are available for download. And if you don't decide to buy the upgrade subscription for the following year, you have a fully functional app without the shackles of a pay-per-month model.

I am a college student so all of my assignments are due electronically. It only makes sense for my notes to also be electronic and Liquid Text is the main app I use for notetaking. I have an iPad and Apple Pencil, so I download everything to put in a specific class (syllabus, PowerPoint, worksheets) and I am able to write on the documents! It's very simple and easy to use. My favorite feature is that I am able to pinch the document to see text on different pages at the same time (and can connect them together if I want to keep track of their correlation).

There is not much to do to improve. It could be easier to make folders and add multiple documents together.

(1) ability to tag highlights in order to code themes into disparate pieces of information
(2) search functionality within a project
(3) mind-mapping capability with link to source information in one place
(4) integration with cloud directories and reference manager (Zotero)
(5) pen compatibility and usability
(6) ease of use
(7) great productivity and information management software that allows greater knowledge retention and comprehension

(1) Zotero integration needs improvement. The highlights made in LT does not translate well back into Zotero so an annotation summary cannot be generated from these highlights.
(2) inability to lock items into place within the workspace
(3) the workspace keeps resizing into the smallest scale even when there's not many objects in the workspace
(4) when resizing the workspace, it's easy to drag objects out of place because they cannot be locked into place

To organize academic journal papers, reading and taking notes afterwards was a headache for me. Although there are a few famous tools for these purposes, their note taking capabilities were not sufficient for me. LiquidText literally solved every problem I had regarding this. Creating notes while reading a paper and linking them with the relevant paragraph/figures is the killer future of this app.

Syncing is sometimes slow. I cannot say it is bad but I definitely feel some lag and I am sure this is not related to connection. Also, I didn't like the monthly based subscription model. It's not directly related to the LiquidText. Although, I understand they are trying to create a reliable income, as a user, I hate the idea of paying monthly fees for every app on my devices.

I find it great to edit a document on my iPad and see my edits on the computer, so I can continue working on the computer and then return to the iPad again; it's perfect! I love that I can use different colors with the pen and write using the keyboard!

I think it's perfect as is; however, I would like to open two pdfs at the same time and be able to edit and write on them at the same time.

Easy integration of documents, easy note taking, highlighting and easy to consolidate information from different sources to have a better understanding or vision as a whole on a specific Topic.

Sometimes is hard to find notes within various PDFs. Or sometimes it gets stuck when using "heavy" PDFs.

I love that I can organize, reference, and review hundreds of documents at once. I can organize ideas and memoranda, matching the law to the facts, and with links that immediately take me to the source document. It's magic! I love the ability to access my work across multiple devices!

I have been worried a couple times that I had lost work. I didn't lose any work, but I thought I had before learning how to re-sync and recreate the table.

1. Efficient
2. Easy to use
3. Simple layout
4. multiple options

Software hangs sometimes
Pricey
Old documents don't scan well

perfect to review pdf document, is like an ETL for Pdf. if you need to review whiter papers, scientific documents. Works multiplatform in a amazing way.

it has to improve certain issues for the ipad version.

Extracting part of PDFs and putting them into one single notepad, from different PDFs, in addition to handwriting. I have no idea why This is not more frequently used or advertised more

The highlighting feature in the iPad doesn’t look as nice in the computer

It can be synchronized across multiple devices, and the standards in the pdf are so clear and easy to use that you can write down your thoughts in an unlimited number of ways.

The most advanced services are a bit expensive. And the sync between different devices is a bit slow.

ease of use and instalment was easy
love the pen and how it interacts with ipad
love the ability to highlight the pdf docs

Tricky to import to the correct file - i need to have the file open to get the document in the file
not so easy to move files between folders
editing function (i.e. redacting) could be better - i currently use thick black pen to go over text that i want to redact
the way notes display if i forward a LT doc with notes, especially if sent by pdf

Easy and versatile, excellent sync service, multiple plataforms

Visually not fancy or elegant. The menu and tools are visually uglies.

The fluid interaction model between parts of the document, the flexible workspace that I can use to take notes, or do rough work. Ability to link two sections of the document, pinch and compress pages.

It's a little too heavy for my basic iPad to handle smoothly.
Especially as the book gets bigger, the interaction gets choppier.

Short Notes linkages
Linkage with Parent document

Nothing noted at present . I will inform if any lomitation noted

Connect various pdfs with notes, lines, comments is quite the best feature ever. If you need to investigate about a topic, there isn't a better app. Is multiplatform

It supports only pdfs as ebook. Sometimes the content can get moved somehow, which could be frustrating

The extent to which it enables me to integrate a variety of file types, including e-books.

So far it has met my needs, so can say about that.

Great app for research-related work as it helps with organizing ideas and simplifies the need to go back to a source document to double check information.

Multi sync device compatibility is locked behind subscription service.

If you are working with multiple documents or oversized documents LiquidText may be the best solution for you. You can take excerpts, link, add notes and do many more things... This is the best application to go paperless ! It syncs across multiple devices and platforms and make things easier for you.

Th overall user experience is better for iPad when compared to PC.

The linking of information is powerful.

Document management a bit. Sometimes I make changes but dont want to save the change.

The software is great because it enables me to organise documents, edit documents and only see the parts of my comments which are relevant

I think the software could have more features, like adobe, but don’t really see or know about them.

Capacity to read/study documents . Link a todo reminder to read stored documents

Drawing/editing not powerful. Look at Notability as a model
