Horrible! The Basic version is useless and the Pro Version which might have real utility is unobtainable. For a "Semantic Annotation" Tool that was introduced way back in 2013 what have the developers been doing in the meantime. Dusting off old open sources research and attempting to turn it into a commercial application...in this case...is an utter failure! Don't waste your time there are plenty of 'modern' alternatives! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262358453_Semantic_annotation_with_Pundit_A_case_study_and_a_practical_demonstration

Basic version doesn't have a composer like the Pro version so no idea how you are supposed to add any annotations. Pro version isn't functional, super buggy.
