What’s New
Version 4.1.18
Improvements:
• New Sidebar Comment Feature: Users can now add comments directly in the document sidebar, improving annotation efficiency and readability.
• Quick Tab Close Function: Added the ability to quickly close tabs, making it easier to manage multi-tab browsing.
• Optimized Margin Display Logic: Adjusted the margin width display and now supports simultaneous use of sidebar margin and embedded margin for a more balanced visual layout.
• Improved Split View Interaction: Refined the behavior and saving mechanism of “Split View” versus “Attached Notebook.” A new entry has been added to the document “…” menu for opening attached notebooks independently.
• Translation No Longer Automatically Creates Excerpts: Inserting blank space for translation no longer generates excerpts by default, aligning better with actual usage habits.
• Card Grouping Board View Now Available in Pro Version: The Card Grouping Board feature has been moved from the Max version to the Pro version.
Bug Fixes:
• Fixed an issue where PDFs with large blank margins would stutter when scrolling, improving overall smoothness.
• Resolved lag during the playback and switching of review cards, significantly enhancing the performance for large study sets during entry, navigation, and review.
• Fixed an issue where cards without a title or excerpt could not enable the fill-in-the-blank feature when added to reviews.
• Resolved a problem where more than 1000 review cards could not be sorted after filtering.
• Fixed a bug where handwritten content in newly created notebooks could not be copied after being referenced.
• Fixed the issue where the “Copy” button for translations would not disappear automatically after being tapped.
• Fixed the inability to scroll in the custom tools settings interface.
• Fixed an issue where auto-generated tags by the excerpt tool in review card groups could not be searched.
• Fixed abnormal behavior of the “Clear” button when adding documents from the Study Set document interface.
• Resolved a display issue where text inside text boxes turned white when Dark Mode was enabled on Mac.
• Fixed an issue in the English interface where short translation content would cause the “Target language” label to be cut off and overlap with the “Copy” button.
Ratings and Reviews
The best I've ever came across. And I have literally tried ALL research/pdf/note taking apps
This is the first review I have ever written for an app. But my god, is it worth it. It's just incredible really. It might have a steep learning curve, ut if you take the time to actually learn and use it more, you get to see how amazingly powerful it is. It's literally mind-blowing.
I first used the trial back in November, at time I already liked it, but there were some minor things that annoyed me. I switched between liquidtext, Obsidian, Notion, ...
Now, i recently saw many updates being done in the release notes, so I thought I'd give it another try. I was blown away by how much it improved and how smooth and nice everything worked. I bought the PRO for life, which is only $14 FOREVER, which is a very very good price compared to other apps, especially considering the value you get from it.
After using the PRO version on ipad for a few hours, I was mindblown. Immediatly subscribed to MAX which is around $5 per 3 months. I mean, this is a NO-brainer. Believe me this is well worth the small investment.
One small suggestion on improving the documentation: though it is in english and bery extensive, the images that accompany it are in Chinese, which make it hard to fully understand. Apart from that, again, this is the best app I've ever used.
My deep respect for the developers really.
Sincerely,
A fellow Software Engineer
