Inky is the newPDF readeron the block that supports ink annotations. Launched as Dink, and then renamed, Inky is a UWP app compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

Still in beta, Inky is an app to read and modify PDF files that also supports annotations. With support for Windows Ink, you can not only use the pen for annotations on Windows 10 devices like the Surface, but you can also add annotations on Windows 10 Mobile devices with touch.

You can create notebooks and add PDFs to the same using drag and drop and share the documents with anyone from within the app.

Inky is free at the moment, although ad-supported. It works well for most parts, but the user experience could be more intuitive. It took me a while to understand what notebooks are and where are my files were getting saved. But it’s in beta, so hopefully things would get better. Download Inky from the Windows Store, and let us know how you like it.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
