This is an evolved version of the software with nicer GUI, better user experience, and new organization and editing tools. The desktop version is not released yet so it remains to be seen if the sync issues are fixed with the new release. I wanted to give a few pointers for migrating data from version 2, as the software provides no details. You need to backup version 2 notebooks (see under settings) and save the backup file on iCloud. Then go to finder and open the file in MarginNote version 3. It will delete anything already there and import the notebooks including tags, but the attached files will be missing. So you must copy these files manually from the MarginNote directory on iCloud to the new MarginNote 3 directory that you will find created there. Done.

Update Dec 2021
The app has not changed much and there are sync issues with the osx counterpart. I migrated to LiquidText which is much more intuitive and has persistent development effort. There are standards for UI functionality that MarginNote is yet to figure out.

For my purpose the flash cards are my main use however I adapted them to my own use. Instead of mind map or perhaps added to the mind map I would like something similar to the flash cards simply to organize my information( that's what I'm doing now). It should be easier to make cards and add things to them, to switch from back to front of card. Instead of just cards for study why not have cards just to find important information. I find that more intuitive then the mind map. I love adding pictures and notes directly to the cards. Then i click on the headers and the information is there simply by scrolling down. If they had a button to bring up the cards, And quickly switch to the main text or mind map and back it would be an improvement. All of these things are probably there already but the learning curve makes it hard to use. Overall not bad but needs to be more intuitive. If it was I would give 5 stars.

I’ve been using MarginNote2 for years now and I’ve upgraded to MN3, though I didn’t really want to. I am a professor teaching engineering. And for years now, I have mentioned Margin Note in class and would like to do some demos for the students; However we often deal with PDFs full of landscape images of circuit schematics; this is the norm, and not the exception for the types of schematics I deal with. On Chrome in my laptop, it is simple to rotate the page for my students to see in class. On MarginNote3 (and 2Pro) this is still impossible. Why is page rotation of PDF imports so problematic? Please LMK if I’m missing something, and this is now possible. I had hoped this would be a new feature, but of the cool features you added don’t mean anything when your pages are all rotated by 90 degrees and the text is vertical, sometimes reading upwards. Again, I’d love to be wrong and this feature does exist.
