Reviewed as "App of the Day" by Apple, Inc.

Highlighted presents itself as a practical tool for readers seeking to improve their note-taking and retention habits. The app simplifies the process of capturing, organizing, revisiting, and exporting key excerpts from books, addressing a common challenge for avid readers and students alike.

Its main features include advanced text recognition, which significantly reduces manual input, along with intelligent detection of sentences and paragraphs that streamline highlighting accuracy. Users of the iPad will appreciate the bulk drag-and-drop highlighting capability, while photo highlighting offers versatility for various types of content. Custom tags and note functions facilitate personalized organization, complemented by page number detection to preserve context.

The search functionality is robust, enabling users to locate highlights efficiently. Sharing options and export features enhance the app’s utility for collaboration or further analysis. ISBN scanning adds another layer of convenience for cataloging physical books. Additionally, dark mode, home widgets, and offline access contribute to a flexible user experience.
