PowerNotes helps researchers make the leap from research to writing. First, the browser extension gives you the fastest way to save passages from the web, PDFs, and other digital materials. When you save a passage, you will also organize it and take notes. All saving will be done without leaving the source, so you won't need to copy and paste anymore! Also, the organizational structure is up to you. PowerNotes gives you a flexible organizational framework so that you can make the framework more sophisticated over time. So when you are doing research, you won't just be saving content, you will be creating an annotated outline at the same time. Everything that you gather will be saved in the Cloud.

Once you've gathered your research, you can view an outline of your research in our web app, where you can assess and reorganize it. We built an interface specifically designed for reorganization. You can just drag and drop your digital note cards, move them around with a simple menu (again, no more copy and pasting), and create blank note cards to incorporate your own thoughts. You can even turn your research outline into a writing outline so that you can more easily start that first draft. You can download your research into a MS Word or Google Doc, a spreadsheet, or RIS file.

Good concept. The problem is that 99% of the time I'll highlight some text that I want to save, start typing my notes on the quote, and then powernotes just has an error and deletes the whole note. Also, I'll save a note, and the annotation I made will just not be there half the time. I could let this go if I wasn't putting a lot of effort into the annotation so I could use it in my final essay. Using powernotes very frustrating and slows down my research process considerably.

really really good idea and for the most part is very helpful but i am so sick of wanting to do something simple that the website offers but then the page goes unresponsive??? without fail every single time i try to add a comment to something it goes unresponsive and makes me reload the page. it is incredibly frustrating.

Excellent app and overall very easy to use. My one major issue is that there's no way to collapse all your topics for a project without manually doing so one-by-one. This is especially annoying with when using the popup sidebar since there's no way to have the program auto-scroll down to a specific topic on your list. I want some kind of "expand/collapse all" command. Also, if you HAVE collapsed some topics and left others expanded for some specific reason, but then load a new tab and bring the sidebar up again, it will still show all of the topics fully expanded. I will happily change my rating to 5 stars once this has been addressed

This is an extremely intrusive app, and blocks a portion of the screen with its obnoxious button. It also tried to insert itself into anything you highlight. The interface is difficult to understand and even glitches out and forces you to redo stuff. If it was not required for my class I would have already deleted it. When this class is done it goes bye-bye.

A great idea with a lot of potential use, but it has some major bugs which alter basic browser usability in Chrome on Windows OS. Primarily, it can create quarrelsome interactions such as deselecting highlighted text in form fields (as one might to change/modify search terms in complex queries of academic databases). I found these bugs also prevent you from using search -- period -- on services such as Factiva. Due to these incompatibility issues with some essential services, I can't recommend this plugin. I've emailed the developer to let them know, and they were prompt to respond. Regardless, once these issues get ironed out -- especially the ones which break basic browser usability -- it'll definitely be an A+ service.

Love PowerNotes, and use it daily. Working on a couple of book length works, and this has significantly streamlined my writing and research.
