Love it

Very easy to use and it works!

Doesn’t work for GoodNotes

I have 200 MB notebooks from good notes, this thing could only get it down to 50 MB, which is great but not good enough. The algorithm clearly only messes with the photos in the PDF, but as GoodNotes seems to save the handwriting as a really high resolution background for the PDF, the algorithm doesn’t optimize it at all. At 1ppi, which is an ultra low setting the images become indecipherable, but the handwriting is crystal clear.

I’m going to get a refund.

Exactly as it says

It compressed my files seamlessly and easily. It has nemerous options as to what quality and size you want your file to be compressed to and the side by side comparison between the original and shrinked one is absolutely awesome. Very reliable..

Did not help me at all

I was very unhappy with this app. I bought it to compress some PDFs that I had marked up with Apple Pencil. The app said I could not compress them at all. This app is useless to me.

Needs updating to latest os version

Multitasking, drag and drop, etc doesn’t work. Doesn’t use full screen on new iPads. Needs update!

It works!

What more could you ask for? The one time I thought there was a problem, it was my own screwup. This app is great. The developer promptly responds when questions are asked. Go for it, it’s worth the money.

PDF Editor

This software, is so frustrating, I purchased PDF Editor and Optimum and honestly it is So User unfriendly it is awful,

End user

This is brilliant application to use and worth to spend the money . Way excellent -

Absolutely Junk

Won’t allow me to open files in the optimize tab in order to decrease file size. Don’t waste your money

Exceptional!!

This app is nothing short of excellent. Inexpensive, works as well if not better than desktop alternatives. If I had one complaint I wish the compressed documents were stored on iCloud so I could access the documents I’ve compressed on any of my other devices. I’d love to see an app this simple and effective on macOS too. Really great job! Also hugely appreciate all work is done on-device when compressing sensitive content.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding your complain, you can use inbuilt Add or Send to iCloud Drive share activity option to save optimised PDF on iCloud Drive. You can also use Save to Files activity option on iOS 11 to save compressed PDF file on cloud storage drives. Regarding your wish, PDFOptim is also available on the Mac App Store. It is as intuitive and more powerful on the macOS.
