Markup – Highlight & Annotate

So here it is. Kinda in the middle of something, app. I do like it. Wish that (a) you could buy not subscribe and (b) there was less of that ‘online experience’. I just need to read and markup docs. I don’t need or want to be part of ecosystem.

I love this app for annotating my college textbooks! If you are a college student this would be PEFECT for you. I specifically like how when I highlight the text it automatically copies into the annotation section so I don’t have to write an entire new note or copy/paste into a google doc. However, I wish I can see the entire statement that I highlight in the annotation section of BOTA without having to go back onto the page in which I highlighted the statement to begin with. Also, there should be something to explain exactly what BOTA is. I got bookmark and annotations but not the other letters.

The individual annotation options are awesome, the color variety is pretty good, and they all seem to work as they were designed to. The app crashes quite a bit, especially if you try to use the search feature, and if you haven't saved in a while, it can be a pretty big loss for your annotations. An auto-save would be really nice, especially since there is a tendency to crash. Also, the news screen and feed are the first things you see, when that's not what anyone is using the app for... it would be nice to have your documents be the primary screen and then if you're interested in kdan's articles, they'd still be available.
