It pays so much that I am able to review these nuggets at any time and even make anki cards out of them directly from the app itself. BUT margin notes 3 really takes the crown for me - I read around 100-120 pages of the main reference per day and have to highlight important nuggets of information. Goodnotes for some basic daily planning and understanding some integral concepts - things that I really need to draw to understand.

I currently have installed on my ipad PDF expert - for quick and dirty pdf reading with great annotation tools if needed, really no incentive for me to upgrade to the paid subscription. Medical doctor here that recently graduated and preparing for my board exam, Margin notes 3 has been such a power tool for me because of the ability to return to previously highlighted parts of my reference.Īs a measure I own Goodnotes, Liquidnotes, and PDF expert Some other feature to consider that I did not mention: Back up, sync, data structure, compatible iphone/mac apps you can import multiple goodnote,notebility,etc. Liquid Text - focus on (multi-)pdf research with excepts & notes that stay linked to pdf source, (2-dim) infinity canvas for notes but therefore no good export of handwriting, no handwriting only projects, not the best for simple pdf annotation -> good for exam learning and academic writing but opening/closing projects is slow, not for every use, e.g.

in a seminar and/or handwritingįlexcil 2 - focus on pdf reading + annotating, supports vertically scrolling in TWO PAGE VIEW (the only app I could find with this feature) -> best for full pdf book reading & annotating simple rearranging, rotatiting!, adding pages, in particular of imported pdfs, access to pdf outline and possibility to ADD custom outline (but only one layer) -> good for collections of pdf e.g. Goodnote 5 - focus on handwriting, pdf annotation and pdf/handwriting managemant, i.e. Notabilty - focus on handwriting and pdf annotation with most convenient implementation of the eraser tool, but no outline for imported pdfs (or I didnt found it yet) and clumsy rearranging pages, mimalistic interface -> really good for math/formula heavy sketching & handwriting and pure handwriting in general

I use and would recommend different apps for different use cases or study-dependant focus I can't see the forest through the trees so any help is truly appreciated! (Please correct me if I'm wrong) PDF Expert seems to be what I want but is really expensive (€50 per year). The latter two apps do seem to have a quite outdated interface, a big learning curve and no auto-sync. GoodNotes and Notability are primarily a notetaking app and don't have a proper annotation highlighter whereas MarginNote and LiquidText do have the annotation highlighter. I found the above six apps were mentioned a lot for PDF annotation but there are a lot of differences. I will also use OneNote for notetaking during virtual lectures (as I have done before during my bachelor) so I really don't need a note-taking app. I don't need to record audio whilst taking notes since that is not allowed by the university. Reviewing papers is really important to me as the material from the papers will be on the exams. I also want to make hidden text notes so everything is listed in one document. I want to markup text with an annotation highlighter rather than a drawing tool. The apps seem overwhelming, to be honest, and some come with a big price tag so I want to be sure I'll get the right one. Nonetheless, I don't know what app what would be the best for me. In my case, I don't have to buy books as I'll solely read academic papers. Only five days ago, u/clairemct asked a similar question on this subreddit which was focused on books rather than academic papers.

I will read about 100 pages of academic papers in a week and I want to do this on my iPad Pro 11' and Apple Pencil. In a week, I will begin my master program which will have a lot of academic reading. One and a half years ago, I finished my bachelors which did not require a lot of academic reading.
