The crop app does not work

I was trying to avoid the Abobe products to just crop a pdf and I bought this. This app does not work. Completely buggy. Avoid at all costs. Apple should do more to insure the apps they sell actually work.

Rotates pdf when cropping

As the title suggests hence the 1 star

Works perfectly!

All I wanted was to be able to crop all pages of a PDF to remove the irrelevant stuff, and this app did it simply and neatly. The inclusion of pre-set page ratios to fit Apple devices is a bonus.

Note that the cropping doesn’t actually delete the bits outside of the crop - it simply makes them invisible to PDF reader apps. In this it works just like cropping in MacOS Preview. Which is just fine for me!

Truly awful app

This app is truly useless. I bought it to crop an 8-page document which someone scanned with too much black around the margins. I would crop a page no problem, but the pages don’t STAY cropped; by the time I finished page 8, the first few pages had gone back to the way they were. They’re no way to “save” the cropping. Completely useless.

Barely works

I just want to crop my pdf very simply but the app only allows a set page size range. It won’t let me crop a legal size at all. For this being the focus of the app, it’s remarkably bad!

Pretty good

I have 2100 images to crop so this app has been a big help. Just wish I could zoom in better. On really long screenshots its extremely diffucult to see what Im doing.

It's ok

It does the job, but the user interface feels clunky. For example:

- There is no File → Open dialog. You need to go to a button somewhere.
- You can crop, but it doesn't automatically help you crop by snapping to the first pixels when getting close to it. It's all manual in a tiny window that cannot be enlarged.
- Even after painfully choosing your crop, you cannot store it as a preset. So you have to do this for every file.
- There is also no File → Save dialog. I had to right-click a filename in the left panel of the UI, then click "Share" and that opened a file save dialog.

Size limit by design or bug?

I have been using this app a few times recently and it has worked well, however today it didn’t. I set the cropping mode to unlimited so I could crop a receipt down from a full page scan. It wouldn’t allow me to crop the whole receipt. Unlimited should allow me to set my own dimensions but no. I even tried Custom to extend the length. Doing that, shortened the width as I increased the length. Not unlimited therefore not useable.

A Waste of My $1.99

The app is very limited in its ability to crop. You are offered options to crop to the size of various device screens, or to specify a dimension, or to do any of a number of “unlimited” size cropping, but that does not work well if you do not know the dimensions of, let’s say, of a part of an article you want to preserve in crop. And if the article is very long, as in a web page that was saved as a PDF, you are unable to zoom in on the article to even see where you want it cropped. I am very disappointed.
