What's New in PDF Expert

November 4, 2024
Hi, folks!

Questions, issues or bugs? Contact rdsupport@readdle.com, as ever, and we’ll be happy to help.
This used to be a great app for viewing PDFs on an iPad, but every so often the user interface keeps worsening when they push an update.
First annoying thing was when they added a little pdf icon on top of the PDF thumbnail. I mostly use it for PDF files, so this is just redundant and annoying, as a nice thumbnail is now marred with an overlay in the corner (at least add an option to turn this off).
And with the latest update the PDF thumbnails have now been reduced in size, I guess so that more thumbnails can be displayed horizontally. What a mess. The PDF title is now wider than the thumbnail and there is such a lot of empty space between thumbnails, the thumbnail icon is now so small that it hasn’t become easy to see the cover of a pdf book. (There is no option to increase the size of the thumbnails and choose the amount of pdf thumbnails to be displayed horizontally.)
When it comes to the user interface, what used to feel like a great iPad app now feels like some garbage that’s been written in a week by someone learning Visual Basic on Windows.
It still seems to be ok for viewing PDFs for the time being.
