Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
If your job or studies involve reading through longer works, LiquidText offers the kind of flexibility you’ve always wished for. Using gestures, you can quickly drag excerpts to a workspace on the side, make notes and comments, or compress pages to compare distant sections. With support for popular file formats, sharing options, and cloud services, it’s so intuitive to use that you’ll forget how you ever read without it.
App somehow reinvigorated my interest in reading ebooks
The pdfs i was already reading on the iOS books app
When I transfer them to this app and read, and make summaries in the workspace, for some reasons….it makes my reading adventurous n less tiring. Don’t know if this feel would wane over time. But for now after a few back to back hours of usage of this app to read the book i now set as my curriculum, it gives me that fresh feel. Thank God! Good app. Worth the money. I bought it at student discount.
But really needs the cloud sync feature. So that data across iOS devices and mac devices would sync seamlessly. Dint see yet if it has this sync feature.
Clunky UI
There’s some really good feature here that elevate the experience of consuming PDFs to something that goes beyond reading on paper. Having said that, the UI that one has to go through for that experience needs some desperate modernisation. Additionally, the experience with handwriting leaves a lot to be desired. I’ve listed some of the changes that would really enhance my experience of the app: (1) Redesign the UI elements. It’s super clunky in the current state (2) Dark mode (It’s 2022!) (3) Partial eraser for handwriting (come on!) (4) Support for the native pencil toolbar like most other apps do. The one provided with the app is clunky and not fun to use at all. (5) There is a noticeable lag from when the pencil touches the screen to the ink being rendered which is not present on other apps. Please look into this. (6) A better file viewer. The current one could really use a viewer to the likes of what Apple Notes has. (7) Support for shapes
