I don't know if that has been enshittified or was has always been shit in the first place but:
Annotation Apps
Seriously, how hard is it to make an app that let's me make markups, use a stylus, and share that across devices.
Exhibit A: Xodo
It was once free, with all the good features, but then they took those features away and implemented a subscription model.
Exhibit B: Drawboard PDF
Once, came free with a Surface Pro or was a buy once use forever software, until Microsoft took a away all the bought licenses and locked most features behind a paid subscribtion.
Exhibit C: Saber
Its free. It doesn't use Windows Ink. Why even bother?
Exhibit D: Adobe Acrobat Reader
Hahahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaa *Wheeze* hahahhhahaahahahaaaaa
Exhibit E: Microsoft One Note
Aneurism Simulator. You know how printing things suck because printers never play along? Microsoft decided to solve this problem by making printing out One Note sheets properly almost impossible on the software level. Also it can't open PDFs properly or have normal A-Format pages. Either infinite drawing space or nothing.
Exhibit F: Samsung Notes
Actually decent. Free. Android Only. But at least it keeps the annotations separated from the PDF so you can still edit them after transfer. Good choice.
