MarginNote 3, all brand new e-reader to better study and digest your books
Integrating powerful tools for book annotation, mindmapping, flashcards and more, to build up your reading notes as never before.
============================================
Welcome to MarginNote. This is a highly powerful reading and study software and is applicable to Mac, iPad, and iPhone. By integrating the PDF/EPUB reader and multiple powerful study tools, MarginNote will enable learners to reorganize and connect knowledge from different aspects, then memorize and grasp it accordingly.
Whatever your profession, such as student, educator, researcher, lawyer, or life-long learner, you may annotate and take notes through MarginNote, organize notes via Mindmap and Outline, connect knowledge horizontally via Hashtag and raise memory effect via the Flashcards.
You will discover what MarginNote does is not to simply integrate these tools. Instead, it combines them deeply and skillfully, which makes it easier for users to toggle between different tools.

Flashcards need a lot of improvement but otherwise good app for consolidation of material
puzzled1983
I heavily used LiquidText Enterprises for consolidation of material at one place before migrating to MarginNote based on an additional feature of Flashcards in App description. Hopefully, developers will look at Flashcards issue as soon as possible else I regret to spend money on this app and migrating from LiquidText.Flashcards problem: despite organizing and consolidating study material at one place, review process in flashcards is disappointing. First, once, I get a notification that I have this number of cards pending for spaced repetition and then after opening the review area, I need to search for a needle (due cards) in the ocean of flashcards. MarginNote 2 has this feature for not only an individual deck but also in combined deck for random review- those can be easily incorporated here. Second, flashcard itself has a problem of window size in landscape view of IPhone- its pathetic beyond imagination, customization of card window size will be greatly appreciated. Also in Cloze mode, external image incorporated in a card can not be covered/hidden to recall. Many of the above problems are exaggerated because of lack of a operative manual/ tutorial. Even sent an email to developers but nothing happened so far.In latest app update- merge function was disappeared initially in both IPad and IPhone but after of refresh it restored in.

Mr or Ms. Thank you for writing the rest of the review, which is cogent and heart-felt. We feel honored that users like you would trust us with your reading and studying and hope to serve you with an even better app. Regarding the problem you mentioned in the first part, In our mail system, we did see a report about this issue and it should be from you, correct? Unfortunately, you did not tell us your device info, iOS version or which section you were using MarginNote where you found the merging feature gone. Just a sentence saying it disappeared and left us wondering where and how and when we could replicate the case at hand. Support team has sent you a feedback asking about the disappearance that you described. Still waiting for hearing from you with more info. We would forward the response to you again in case you missed it in the first place. Last but not least, this review section is not a place to report bug or that a one-star rating would necessarily place your request to the top of the list. The fastest and best way is to contact us directly and email us. Sincerely, Support Team
Impressive all in one app but lacks the final touch...

Being a medical student, I required an app which could bring all my material to one place and have flash card features. This app does the job and is actually a one stop solution, though still needs work and bug fixing to be called the “perfect” markup app.Issues like losing highlights of the document on mindmap mode. Lack of apple pencil gestures in mind map or outline mode. Bug filled pdf editing features when adding or removing pages (creates multiple copies), are some of the deficiencies that come to my mind. Hopefully the developers add such features to this app. Overall, a one of a kind app, brilliant idea, but lacking execution in some areas.
Very poor OCR performance
Dr.notes
I have been using notability and GoodNotes for a long time now. I wanted an app to concise my notes in tree format for quick revision. I read about MarginNote and thought to try it out. First of all It’s more expensive than both notability and GoodNotes combined. Moreover features like OCR are under inapp purchase. Anyway, I bought it. And guess what! The OCR performance is so poor that I already started regretting my purchase. I have really clear pdf files. The text is not even handwritten. It’s typed. Free apps on my phone read and convert those texts correctly even from a photo clicked of the file. This expensive app has failed to do that. A simple word like ‘Displaced’ is converted into ‘ Oispliiced’ and ‘fracture’ to ‘Froicture’. I tried to use the Autocorrect/auto fix issue which obviously doesn’t work. The app is useless to me without a fine OCR. I don’t know if I will get any resolution for this. If I don’t, obviously, my recommendation would be to not waste your money here.
Fixed the issue with promotional upgrade to MN4
