thank you for this video. Fantastic for new comers to this app. liquid text should use this as their advertisement and address their follies. Concise explaination.
The user experience, esp. the UI, inking and stability, is still lacking and feels very basic. On top of that, they ask for a steep subscription fee of $14.99 per month to unlock all features and cloud syncing. Overall, the current state of LT would be acceptably as a pre-release that will receive exhaustive polishing before full launch but not a paid app for up to $130 yearly.
I am glad to come across this comment. I got an ipad to study and take notes of books, research paper which are in pdf format and wanted something which can do things similar to hypothesis in windows. But it seems the app is buggy from your comment. Anything else you can recommend ?.
@@PaperlessX I’m excited for your review! I saw on Reddit that someone has replaced LiquidText with Defter Notes, so I’m really curious to know how Defter Notes fairs against LiquidText in your opinion.
Previously you made a video telling that you are leaving liquid text for margin note 3. How was your experience. Are you still using margin note 3. What is better between both of those apps. Any reply is well appreciated. 😊
Excellent review. 🙏🏻 Have been thinking about LiquidText for a long time-particularly now since about to begin a research project. Your intro was very promising but the flaws you noted are very disappointing. Since I need to share my work-doesn’t look like LiquidText is worth my time. 😢
You made a crucial point in that you're locked into LT with your research notes and will not be able to modify them if LT goes under in the future. Therefore, LT is not suitable for long-term knowledge management and note taking.
But I am stuck with it... Because there is no app quite like it... So true. Mirrors all our experience. It has become the app for lawyers across the world. Difficult to imagine now working without it. But it is so buggy at times and crashes every now and then when you try the complex features that if there was another, people would have moved. Developers should entirely pause new feature development and concentrate on making declared features smooth and stable. We are using it for most important parts of our work. And the sync is absolutely unreliable! That's not ok. Please work on that.
If you store your data in LT's proprietary format, it will be difficult (most likely impossible) to conveniently edit or search it using any other application. This can become a significant issue if LT becomes discontinued in the future.
Some of the things we have to do are inherently complex, so whichever software we use will have to be sufficiently complex to be able to handle such demands, otherwise we would be complaining that it's too basic. I think the point isn't to find the perfect software, but rather to ask what's most stable and usable about the software products available now and try to build a reliable workflow with them as building blocks. For example, if Nebo is the best in handwriting to text conversion, we could allocate that task to Nebo. If reading through carefully and annotating is best handled with Liquidtext, even though it's not perfect, then that's the software in charge of that area of activity. And so on, to cover the whole range of whatever it is we're trying to get done.
All i need for notes is pen and paper, or atleast something that will take this concept and make it easier to take notes and they come along and make it more complicated than it needs to be and on top of it ask for 15$ a month, no thanks…
@@PaperlessX thank you for the Personal reply, i actually decided that at Times when i am commited to make handwritten notes, i will just bring my Notebook which is an iPad mini and use GoodNotes 5 (GoodNotes 6 was a useless update sadly IMO) and then sync to GDrive to be able to view them on any device. I like aswell that it lets me create notebooks and that it supports actual paper formats like A4 and does not have issues exporting it to other devices. If it is quick brain dumping I use Google Keep to just write the text down with a keyboard. It's accessible on any device. (sadly the handwriting in Google keep is the worst) -- I tried to make the best out of apple notes and used it a lot but the biggest ssues I had were: - basically forced to use apple PC and phone, you will have trouble exporting it to other devices outside of apple ecosystem - after about 1 or 2 hours of uninterrupted handwriting it will start to lag and even crash - IMO opinion they should fix the rendering of apple notes altogether, also that you can not write on documents like on goodnotes sucks
How to change the color of the text box......i am not getting it .....can you please make video about changing the colour of textbox or explain step by step
doesn't ipads support pdf files with default itself programs ? What is ipad format of files like pdf? Can we use it's pen to write on pdf or other type file like pdf? Quality of pen on ipad is better or android by zooming on pdf files?
Liquid text have a table on their website which shows the features included in free and the paid for tiers. The help in the app is quite good and shows what the premium features do if you're running the free version.
Can it handle PDFs with 2 columns of text now? Was excited to buy it earlier, but its PDF engine could not properly select text/lines in double-column documents, which is the majority of my medical articles and textbooks. Instead of selecting the specific sentences I want, it will suddenly select text in a box/square, both columns, or the whole page. Inability to select text accurately defeated the whole purpose. The developers acknowledged the problem and said it was a limitation of the PDF engine. I suppose I should try it again.
Just to double-check: did I understand correctly that LiquidText doesn't do handwriting to text conversions, except for things like tag names? If I misunderstood, could you please say again how to convert an ordinary inked note to text? If that's not possible, I'm fine with that, just wanted to double-check instead of just assuming. Thank you. 🙂
PDF readers in general don’t convert handwriting to text, unless they are a handwriting note-taking app. Which, LiquidText is not. So yeah, it can’t convert your handwriting to text like Noteshelf would, for example.
@@PaperlessX And yet you can handwrite tag names in LiquidText and it transforms it into text, so it seems to have the capability, just not with handwritten comments.

Lasso tool is very important for editing and arranging stuff. Hope the app developers will watch this video and do the needed changes
Excellent video, I already left the like.
Please make a tutorial about magenote and its features. Thanks a lot in advance.

It’s always been like that, like a forever beta. I agree that the pricing is unrealistic. The reviews are misleading.

Can you make a review of Defter Notes and compare it with LiquidText?
It's on our to-do list. Hope to get to it soon. A comparison to LiquidText will be very interesting.

I have since stopped using MarginNote 3. This might help: beingpaperless.com/5-reasons-i-left-liquidtext-for-marginnote/
I also got disappointed with the 'sync between devices'. Hoping that's something they are working on. Otherwise, I agree that it is a fantastic tool
Hello Eric! 😃

Intersting, just considering the liquidtext, but the flaws, if they are still issue are worrying a little.
We are due to update this review, maybe it might help. It's a couple of weeks away, though

Hi Thank you for this information. Please let me know if Liquidtext is effective for Tablet runs on ANROID
Is it available on Android? We have only tried it on the iPad and Mac.
Great demo! Can I ask how do you change the colour of the whole text box? I can’t see that option anywhere.
It's in the app settings
@@PaperlessX thanks :)
is there a feature in this application to buy once and use it for life or is it renewed every year?
it has a pro version that you can buy once.
Can you compare using Microsoft OneNote to Liquid Text in a video? It looks like Liquid Text is more buggy.
LiquidText hasn't been the most stable of apps since its launch. But, that comparison would be a very interesting one.
Need more instruction on how to do the things you say it can do.
We cover that in our courses. But we haven’t started on the LiquidText one yet. For reviews, we only show capabilities.
Any plan to show us how you use hookmark?
Yes! Le plans are there. I should get around to that soon
@@PaperlessX regards from Turkey Ropsie, following you...
What is the best alternative to LiquidText?
MarginNote 4
doesn't ipads support pdf files with default itself programs ? What is ipad format of files like pdf? Can we use it's pen to write on pdf or other type file like pdf? Quality of pen on ipad is better or android by zooming on pdf files?
Care to elaborate?
is there a way to go directly on a page other than scrolling up or down the document?
Outlines and hyperlinks work if your documents have them
Is there any video showing difference between free version and paid version
No, we cover the full paid versions of apps as users can try the free versions for themselves.

I currently have the grid workspace, are there other designs and how can i access it? looking for a notebook style
There are other styles under the three-dots icon on each workspace.
How do you zoom in? I want bigger font but don’t want do move left and right.
Pinch the screen
@@PaperlessX thanks for the response but tit does not resize the document to fit the screen?
Can I also click pictures in liquid text????
Not sure what you mean by click. But you can extract them
Can we add pictures in pdfs in liquid text ?
No, you can import images. Or add them to the app’s canvas, only.
is there any LiquidText giveaway
