I tried at least 10 annotation tools n picked this one. ONLY flaw is that font size could be editable n smaller, similar to the font size on websites. Changing font doesnt really minimize the size. writing long comments not possible.

Don't know what's with the negative reviews. Absolutely love for studying!!

Requires a login, but no option to delete account. Extremely glitchy. Does not work at all. Don't waste your time, find another app.
