Notes and PDF reader

MXTNote is best used in tablet with stylus, for example, Samsung note tablet or Apple Ipad, but we also take care to make sure its usable on smaller screen. Most of the toolbar can be configured to hide when scrolling up to make room for the contents, so even with a phone you can work reasonably well with a PDF/notebook split screen.
Compare with other note-taking, pdf markup/reader app, MXTNote also has support for searching and watching articles on Arxiv
