It looks like Liquid Text is now available for Windows as well, and will be released for Mac at the end of June.
I’ve e been using mostly MarginNote lately on iPad+Mac , but this is an interesting development.

If it’s only on the Windows store—and it appears that it is—sales of the Windows version will be ... “modest” ... I’m guessing. Like a huge number of other users, the store never has (and probably never will) work for me.
That its developers don’t know this is disturbing since EVERYBODY seems to know this.

Hi Listerene,
Pardon my ignorance, but how does the distribution method affect the quality and usefulness of the software ?
I clicked on a link, the app installed and runs just fine. Simple.
As to what you get, it is the regular version. Free and seems to work well based on the limited time I used it.
To use the advanced features, you need to purchase the Pro for $40 or so. Again, just click—> authenticate—> done.
I don’t read much PDF for my work, but I’m curious as my daughter is entering college in September
(if COVID-19 permits it)

I’m told by the owner that the pro features (multiple documents annotated simultaneously, mainly) for LiquidText on Windows, LiquidText on MacOS and LiquidText on iPadOS each require a separate license.
$29.99 for each == $89.97 for all three. So if you work cross-platform you either limit yourself to one platform, or pay twice or three times for the same product.
Seems non-standard, but owners get to do what they do.

The pro version is $29.99. It will enable the user to import office documents, along with pdf’s and one can take ink notes along with all of the exerpting and linking. A student could have the lecture outline in the doc pane and take notes in the workspace. It really could allow a student to go paperless. They are to have auto archiving and syncing in September. I’m showing it to my 15 year old granddaughter for classroom use this fall.
