Unfortunately, the new app does NOT automatically move or transfer your files from the old app. If you like the app, you need to support its further development. If you’re already an iAnnotate fan, (and there’s a lot of you out there) it is a no-brainer to throw down another $10 for the app.

I know this is a strategic decision by developers to aggregate all App Settings in one location, but it’s still not the norm and I don’t like being jerked out of the iAnnoate app when I just want to make a quick settings change. This new app improves it a little but it takes extra brain-power for me to get comfortable with the layout.Īlso the new app placed all the Settings for the App in the iOS Settings app. The one thing I have NOT always liked about iAnnotate is their odd File Management screen. I usually have a “Pen” toolbar with several different colored pens and highlighters – so I can switch between colors with a single tap. Then you can quickly flip / toggle between them by swiping with your finger over the toolbar. You can have MULTIPLE annotation toolbars, and customize them with exactly the tools you want. The one thing I have ALWAYS appreciated about iAnnotate is the ability to customize the annotation toolbars. This feature in iAnnotate is seamless and I get to stay in the app!! I’ve been doing this on the iPad for years, but first I would have to go Safari, copy the URL, use another app to convert the URL to PDF, then use the “Open In” menu to send GoodReader or PDF Expert. You can then convert the web page into a PDF and start annotating immediately. One of my favorite NEW features is “Web Markup” which basically opens a web browser in a new tab, and lets you navigate to a web page. The new app now supports “Split View” in iOS 9, as well as the Apple Pencil. But if the app is worthy and useful (like iAnnotate), then this is a small price to pay to support the continued development of the app.

It’s a way to get new revenue rather than simply providing a free update. This isn’t the first time an app developer has done this.

If you have an older version of iAnnotate, this is NOT a free update – you must purchase iAnnotate all over again. The older version was called “iAnnotate PDF” and has been effectively retired. The developers of iAnnotate, Branch Fire, recently released a brand new app which is effectively version 4 and now just called “iAnnotate”. Today’s app is the recently re-launched iAnnotate 4, now a universal app for both the iPad and iPhone at $9.99.Īny time I talk to lawyers about the iPad someone always asks about iAnnotate because the app has been around a LONG time, and was one of the very first apps for organizing and managing files on the iPad, and of course, annotating PDF files.
