Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

LiquidText provides document analysis that is used by lawyers and paralegals and uses it for reviewing legal documents. Users praise its cross-document linking and visual organization, while some report clunky navigation and difficulty handling large files. Its Enterprise Edition recently received ISO 27001:2022 certification, which may matter to organizations with strict data security requirements.

Our Verdict

LiquidText is a good option for mid-size and large law firms, litigation teams, and research organizations that spend much of their time reviewing documents. It works well when a case or project requires users to compare information from different sources. The cost makes more sense for regular users than for people who only use it occasionally. We recommend it for teams that work with large document sets and can justify the ongoing expense.

LiquidText Features

Patented Gestural Interface

LiquidText uses gestures for reading and annotation. Users can pinch parts of a document to bring them into the workspace. They can also draw InkLinks between excerpts, notes, and other items. Touch and pen input are supported, along with a mouse and trackpad on compatible devices.

Unified Document Workspace

LiquidText puts source documents and related notes in the same workspace. Users can pull a passage from a document into the workspace without losing its connection to the source. A project can also contain more than one workspace. This lets users separate different parts of their work.

Annotations And Source Linking

With the tool, users can highlight passages and add comments to them. They can also pull sections out for closer review. LiquidText features InkLinks that connect related passages and notes to their source material. Tapping a link takes the user back to the original passage.

Real-Time Sync And Collaboration

LiquidText LIVE syncs projects across supported devices and provides cloud backup. Shared projects allow several users to work on the same material. They can add comments and see where other users are editing or annotating. Workspaces can be kept private or shared with others.

“Pricey yet justifiable”

Pros

Some of the really cool features exclusive to this app are great. I can store any kind of document and edit it with almost every tool it provides. It works smoothly within the Apple ecosystem when I have it synced across devices, making it the best app for managing documents and PDFs while integrating note-taking.

Cons

The monthly plan prices seem a bit high to me. Since not all features are available in every plan, I feel like I have to pay the full price for specific features. Still, I would say it is worth every penny.

“Ideal for teaching purposes”

Pros

As a professor, I find this app really helpful for making notes, sharing them with my class, controlling access to the shared materials and managing all my books and documents in one place. I can edit PDF files and then distribute them to my students. For teaching purposes, I truly believe nothing is better than this.

Cons

My note taking experience could definitely be improved. My writing feels different in this app, and I would like to see enhancements in that area.
