Reviews & Comments of PowerNotes Research chrome extension

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.

Love this extension! It made my research process super efficient and help me organize all of my materials.

Great way to organize website notes.

If you are an academic, student, instructor, or otherwise just a person who has lots of interests but a hard time keeping track of them then at least watch the full promo video so you see a waide range of the extension's functionality. I started using Power Notes last year and wrote a brief letter to the developers thanking them for the ease and utility this app has added into my day to day for work as a researcher and hobby as a writer. I have tried using Evernote and Pocket as well as other less well known notetaking apps but nothing was designed with anything close to the ease of use as Power Notes. This is especially true if you use the ext for professional or academic reasons given its built in citation generation, export tool, and organization optimizations. Really, get this tool.

This checks so many boxes for what I've been looking for a long time. I do wish it had ipad/iphone apps for when I'm not at my desk but I can see how that would be a drastically different function from what the browser app does really well so the tradeoff for me is far worth it.

When I first learned about PowerNotes, I used it to organize ideas and notes for my own projects to get a better feel for how the program worked. Shortly thereafter, I began introducing PowerNotes to my (college-level) writing students, encouraging them to use it for their class assignments. Each semester students comment on the program's intuitive, user-friendly interface, but my STEM students have consistently been the most enthusiastic users, saying that PowerNotes has made it much easier for them to gather information, organize ideas, identify and address gaps, and maintain cohesion (i.e., their papers still "flow"); most have said they plan to keep using the program in their other courses. My students may like the fact that PowerNotes simplifies and streamlines their work but, as a writing teacher, I have seen a pedagogical value. Most notable is the improvement in both my students' writing process and in the documents they ultimately submit. Saving time on tedious source documentation, students can focus attention on organizing and developing their ideas, share drafts with me and their peers quickly, and try out alternative structures with minimal repercussions. The result: more thoughtful, engaging arguments. An incredibly useful tool, in and beyond the classroom!

Best organizing tool on the internet!! I'm addicted to PowerNotes!

Super intuitive and actually quite useful.

A thousand times better than tracking your sources with bookmarks!

The easiest and most efficient webclipping tool!

This extension is a life saver. I had to submit a case study as part of my research course work and I was able to do it in one week. This helped me a lot. The only caveat is the free version only has one project. I will give 5 stars if the developers increase t to at least 3 projects.

good

Way way way more powerful, systematic, organized, and faster than Evernote and OneNote!

Fantastic tool in organising highlights and sites

Used it recently to plan my trip to Iceland and found it very helpful! I will definitely be using it again to plan my future trips
