  1. This app shows some promise. I would like to see more choices other than using one's finger to make changes. For example, text boxes, underlining, word highlighting.

  2. I just bought the paid version. How do I move all my files from the free version? I hope there is some easy way to do this as I have many files, annotated and not.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Now with the new paid version that is supposed to be able to read filrs from the free, how do we do the importing?

    ReplyDelete
  4. ...in other words, how do we do this: "Transferring backup file from free version to paid version"

    ReplyDelete
  5. Problem solved in new free version backup export function to paid version! Works great! Thanks a lot. I just wish I didn't have to do it one file at a time. Oh well, still a huge step forward, muse book. Now I'm just waiting for that text annotation tool. :)

  6. As other comments, this app looks good, lovely interface, but only negative is the lack of tools, like callout boxes, lines etc.

  7. Hi,
    Is there a way in which i could read transferred files from my ipad which is in .pdfnotes type.I've tried acrobat reader but it doesnt work and my dad took my ipad overseas =( I've got exams in a week and all my notes are in there.

    ReplyDelete
  8. @Joyner, .pdfnotes files are the backup format so that you can use it only with pdf-notes free or paid version.

    If you send me (musebook@musebook.com) the backup files, I can import them into my pdf-notes and export .pdf files to your email again. (or anyone using pdf-notes can help you)

    Waiting your email~

  9. Hi!
    Nice program, but one of the pdf displayed incorrectly - can't display correctly "-symbols. Acrobat Reader displays it correctly, but this program is much better. You can find file that is shown incorrectly here:

  10. @Denlerien, please check it at iBooks. If you have the same problem at iBooks, please ask to Apple to fix the bug. We can not fix it but Apple does.

  11. Yes, Adobe Reader is only program, that show this pdf correctly - iBooks displays it incorrectly.

  12. I have the free audition... Is it possible to print or to export to mail only the text notes that I wrote?
    Zeev370@gmail.com
    It is very important for me and before I buy the paid version I want to be sure that this function is possible. Thanks.

  13. @zeev, the current version does not support it.

  14. Hello,

    I'm using the app for a few minutes and I guess I'm gonna love it.

    I've exported a file full of notes (hand and type made) and also full of bookmarks info.

    My question is if I can see the bookmarks outside the app, because I wasn't able to see them using the Acrobat Reader.

    Thanxs.

    ReplyDelete
  15. @Gfel, I am sorry but the current version does not support it.

    We are working on how to softly combine the outlines and bookmarks so that please wait until your request is available.

    Have a great day~

  16. Ok, no problem, I can wait for the upgrade. The app is so good I will keep on using because of the other features.

  17. Hi musebook!
    This is a great great great app, and I love it! I use it all the time but I have some requests! Could you make it possible to import other files [and the app would convert to pdf]? Also, a folders system (maybe within the categories?) would be really useful. Continuous scrolling would also be an added plus!
    Regardless, thanks so much for the great app!

    ReplyDelete
  18. hi, i have the paid version, is it possible to select text?? or it will implement in future realease?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Could really do with having some way for your text notes or sticky notes to form and create an outline instead of having to create the outline separately in Acrobat. these can also serve as bookmarks. Otherwise very happy with the app, planning to purchase when i get some money in itunes account!
