Surfmark

Description

Surfmark will change how you research online. It is the most powerful research application available on iPad. It allows you to save exact copies of web pages as well as the perspective you develop on them. It lets you directly annotate the web pages (and even PDFs). You can highlight pages, draw on them, add different kinds of notes, or even add voice notes. You can connect different related topics into a single collection (a ‘surfmark’). Additionally, the app automatically generates summaries and bibliographies of your research! It allows you to collaborate with teams and lets you continually add to the research. Surfmark will truly change the way you do research.
