Excellent app for heavy PDFs.

This is the only app that use to read most of my TTRPG books. This application handles heavy graphics PDFs like no other, and due to caching the pages you won’t have any ‘loading’ or blank pages when quickly accessing your PDFs.

I find it amazing that anybody could use any other app for PDF reading after using this one. This application will definitely spoil you.

I really wanna thank the developers for creating this app an let them know that your app is the ONLY one that I suggest to anybody that ever asks me for a pdf reader on the iPad.

Thank you again.

Since what you have experienced is related to the error above, please contact Apple Customer Care immediately for a refund. Please understand that we are not responsible for any of the above errors. Remove the ads by going to Settings > License > Refresh Receipts (Restore License). If you still see ads, it may be due to an old cache in iOS or Apple Server, wait about an hour, reboot your iPad and try again.

Night mode missing

I have been using your app for a few years now with great satisfaction. What I am missing is the night mode. Can you introduce it as soon as possible? If it is already available, Kindly let me know how to access it.
Thanks,

Thank you for your kind review. I have been thinking about it but it's not simple because this app had been designed 10 years ago. I am sorry but I can not answer you about it at this time.

Great App

I use this app for three years and always satisfied with it. It has enough functionality which works smoothly.

After last update adding notes function close the app. I have tried it with different pdf and opening old notes do the same. Please fix the bug :)

Response from developer

It's a bug of iPadOS 13.1.x so please update your iOS to the 13.2.x version. This bug can be fixed only if you updated your iOS to the 13.2.x version.

Bug still not addressed : UPDATED

UPDATED REVIEW: I ended up trying to install the free version to see if that worked. I ran into the same issue as with the paid version so I uninstalled the free version. The very next time I launched the paid version, it worked. Perhaps an update for the paid version was stalled or something and the installation of the free version somehow cleared that. At any rate, the app now works again and upgrading to five stars because it’s not clear whether or not the issue has to do with the app itself and I’m otherwise very happy with it. Also, tech support did reach out to me fairly quickly with an alternative solution, which I ended up not being able to try.

I have had the paid version for several years now and have been pretty consistently happy with the app and it’s improvements. However, since the two updates ago, I’ve been unable to launch the app at all. The launch graphic shows up on the iPad screen and then it simply shrinks to the background. It continues to run in the background, but it will not expand to full screen and is completely unusable as it is. There have been two updates since the problem arose, both for “bug fixes”, but the problem remains. What gives?

Please run your iPad Settings app - pdf-notes for iPad - Reset Settings. Refer to the page 50 of the user guide. "Reset pdf-notes settings"

Cannot read a word with apostrophe while using search.

It’s been 3 years I encounter this bug. Had a hard time looking for files titled with words containing apostrophe.

Response from developer

Please press and hold the apostrophe and select the exact one in the book title. You may see 4 different apostrophe characters. iOS 11 changed the default apostrophe in the keyboard (called Smart Punctuation) and many customers have not known about it yet. So... it's not a bug~ ^^ You can also turn off Smart Punctuation using the Settings app - General - Keyboards. I hope this may help you.

Best app, wish it supported split screen

This has been my favorite app for many years, I have all my books and worksheets on it, I love the shelf formats for arranging my books, and I love the pen feature to add on my Notes. Now using the new iPad I feel disappointed that the split screen feature is not supported, that and the pen is the main reason I got the new iPad, I really hope you add the split function in the next update

Response from developer

10 years ago, pdf-notes had been developed for iOS 3.0 so that there have been some difficulties to adapt new technologies for newer iOS versions. We had to face some difficult works like converting from 32 bit engine to 64 bit, and failed to adapt some new technologies including split views, etc. Therefore, we have developed PDF Notes S to adapt new technologies of recent iOS versions to the existing pdf-notes technologies; now it supports 2 pages viewer, split views, fast page turning and quick zoom, etc. Please check Settings - Cross License.- PDF Notes S menu.

Excellent app

Thus app has one of the smoothest interfaces for handling PDFs that I've ever experienced. The UI is pretty intuitive, als for quick highlights without disturbing your reading, and syncs with cloud files. The annotation functions can be used without needing to have the menu bar shown, and has swipe gestures for a while host of functions. Definitely recommend it.
