great for students and research

Reviewed on 31/08/2023

Pros

it is very easy to mark and search thru documents for research. I used it mainly to organize and summarize sources for my thesis and it was great for that.

Cons

The UI is not the prettiest and workflows are sometimes not as optimized as they could be

Probably the best available app for pdf and documents.

Pros

It packs all the features required for PDF management. We can edit, collaborate, make notes, mind maps and commenting are regular used features and serves their purpose well. Helps a lot by supporting almost all document types and all of the documents can be stored at one place. Totally satiesfied with this purchase.

Cons

On my iPad mini, this app can be more optimized in the terms of layout. Altough all features are great but buttons are a little bit small.

I have loved this app but the laggy interface on older iPads doesn’t feel good.

Pros

Best pdf application and all in one package for document management, reading, notes taking and all. Pro features like comment linking, mind maps are useful when using the iPad as a primary study device. Collaboration tools are really helpful when you are working with a team or working on a school project.

Cons

Could be optimised more for the older iPads. Sometimes lags a lot on my iPad 7th generation while taking notes or opening in Split View.

It has those features which other applications doesn't provide. Would really recommend this to everyone.

Pros

Linking feature is really great and helps to find any topic on the go while studying. One of the standout features of LiquidText is its ability to transform static PDFs into dynamic, interactive documents. The fluidity of the touch-based interface allows me to highlight, underline, and annotate text with precision. This is particularly valuable when reviewing medical research papers and patient records. The ability to easily rearrange and connect various sections of a document using the "ink workspace" is a huge plus. It helps me create visual summaries and connect key concepts in a way that's simply not possible with traditional paper documents or other PDF readers.

Cons

It's price now has increased and most of the premium features are present only in more costly plans.

LiquidText Review - A Comprehensive Document Management Solution

Reviewed on 7/10/2023

Pros

LiquidText has revolutionized our document management. Its secure data storage and access control ensure data security. Collaborative features like real-time sharing and innovative ideation tools have boosted our productivity. While content management is efficient, some additional text editing options would be welcomed.

Cons

While efficient, some users find LiquidText's content management options could be more intuitive or streamlined for smoother navigation.

Really great app for all document related purposes. It is the only app that you'll ever need for your document related purposes in you iPad.

Pros

It offers multiple type of plans that you can buy according to your need. Every plan have their own features according to their price but you will find that all the usefull features are available in the basic plan which is the best thing that I like about this app. Also some features like linking the topic to a comment and editing the pdf file are great and unique features for this app to have.

Cons

User interface could be a little bit more graphical and beautiful.

At first I found LiquiText overwhelming. But after getting used to the environment and terminology, and very helpful improvements in the latest release, it’s been a huge help. I’ve used it both on some research projects and info related to recent health issues. I mostly gather PDF files and this is the best tool I’ve found to extract the information I need.

Pros

Many functions and options. Brilliant concept and implementation. LiquidText lets me review/analyze material and highlight/annotate for future reference.

Cons

Biggest issue is documented support, almost exclusively video. I’m surprised a product designed to work with text has minimal text support. Also, storage management, where data/files are stored and better options to minimize storage usage

Innovative and essential document reader for researchers

Reviewed on 22/08/2023

Pros

For my area of research, I need to read multiple documents at once while making notes for my papers. Liking among documents, mind-mapping, free writing, adding texts, images, and my thoughts on the field, all these are what I needed. On top of that, now, with its cloud service, I can read them on any device. I highly recommend it. It made my research much easier and faster.

Cons

I do not have anything I did not like about LiquidText.

I'm using LT on an iPad Pro and I think the UI can by clunky sometimes. For example, when I'm not using LT for a longer period of time, I need to re-learn how to import pdfs and work with them. Even though I'm not an IT expert, I think the UI/UIX could be improved.

Pros

I can visualise and reference arguments and ideas extracted from different file formats

Cons

As a customer how bought LT before a subscription was introduced, I'm not happy that some functionality is hidden behind a paywall. Also, LT could think beyond US market and include other langauges in its OCR functionality.

Pros

I feel like it sincerely wants me to use it increase my own capacity and efficiency and doesn't want to JUST make money off of me. Additional features are very welcome and I'm considering them because I see how useful they feel to me! But I truly appreciate knowing that I'm not in a scam for my data. I use this app to read extremely heavy spiritual texts, and the ethics of it are everything to me.

Cons

The features i find missing are available if I'm willing to pay (which I'm very close to being!!)
Keep up the great work.

Have only been using LT for <3 months but this has been a game-changer for my post-graduate studies. I find that information overload contributes hugely to PG stress. LT synthesises vast amounts of fragmented information into a coherent whole, making research just a tad more enjoyable if not less painful.

Pros

(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

Cons

(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

It helped me manage huge amount of information and documents, makes meaningful connections with them, which in turn help me generate additional insights. The app helped me digest information actively (i.e. making notes, create tags, add connections, write notes, highlight, create drawings and diagrams) without being so distracted on how to do it. It is very easy to use, the interface is very intuitive and the features are useful in my use case as a data professional.

Pros

This app helped me collect, manage and generate insights to large information and documents that i read as part of my work. It helped me quickly search important notes and capture ideas on the fly, structure them in a meaningful way, and be able to retain them for future use. I could say that this is the best productivity software in the market specially for professionals like me that handles huge amount of data in my work.

Cons

The subscription model limits some really useful functionality for users who cannot afford them. I hope that they could make the subscription be more affordable or have a onetime fee for a lifetime access of all future upgrades and new features.
