Then it wouldn’t let me even try again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! ### 1/5 — Does not work at all, basically a scam *2021-08-27, version 11* I have a pfd that I needed converted to that's too large to type out manually. $10 app, couldn't do it at all. If anything disrupts a conversion it will fail (notification of any kind, phone call, changing display brightness). Sat my phone down at 8pm, disabled screen timeout and all notifications. It ran for 6 HOURS, still 'processing'. Finally I decided my phone wasn't going to be hostage to this app anymore. Do not waste your time or your money! ### 1/5 — Scam unless updated *2021-05-17, version 11* Exciting concept but no cigar. Review history shows that this app used to work but needs to be updated! It currently does not do it’s job and I’ve tried to make it work many ways. Currently - it charges you $10 to install and then fails to work. The app needs to be updated or to be taken down. ### 1/5 — Bummed *2021-02-11, version 11* I do not like this app. It doesn’t even open in landscape. You are stuck in portrait mode - not cool. ### 1/5 — Just plain does not work *2021-01-01, version 11* Just plain does not work. I want my money back! ### 5/5 — This App delivers *2020-01-05, version 11* I use several pdf APPs but this one always delivers and it easy to use Patience is sometimes needed, as the conversion may take awhile, or it is done very fast - hard to tell But it works !!!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-10-24, version 11* There are so many times I receive a pdf that needs to be edited, and instead of bothering others, this nifty little app can easily and quickly convert the file for me into a format that I am able to edit. ❤️ this app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-10-14, version 11* This app used to be great for converting pdf to excel and word. After iOS 12 it stinks. And I’m using the paid version. It will convert but you can’t do anything with it. As soon as you go to share, it crashes. Support is worthless . Use the Other options out there. ### 3/5 — Importing downloaded pdf from other apps shows a blank screen *2019-10-10, version 11* Hi, I’ve used this a million times, but not in months. Today on both iPad and iPhone, exporting a downloaded pdf from Files, Dropbox, other pdf apps, opens able2extract, but shows a blank screen and does nothing discernible. I was afraid my 8 page pdf was too much, so I tried with a single page pdf. Same. Please help? Many thanks.. ### 1/5 — won’t open on my ipad. *2019-08-04, version 11* why? the window pops up for a split second and crashes and closes. AND i just bought the app. How can tech support help me? ## Frequently asked questions about Able2Extract ### What can this app convert PDFs to?
