Excellent

Few make reading and listening this easy. Well done Claro!

Honestly the best, BUT…

I have a learning disability and needed a Reader app that can do text to speech (TTS) AND allow for pdf annotations and ClaroPDF does the job in a visually pleasing manner with ease of use. My learning disability requires both the visual and audio which other apps now do, but ClaroPDF annotation capabilities is the icing on the cake. The ClaroPDF free version worked very well, so I upgraded to this paid version for the added OCR and iCloud sync. Unfortunately, this app is NOT well maintained and often crashes or stops if the device changes position (ie if I put my iPad down). In addition, the voices on the app are decent, but behind the times. I wouldn’t mind purchasing upgraded voices like the ones used on Speechify or ElevenLabs. I still believe that this is the absolute best app I have EVER used to read books, but my need for a stable app that doesn’t randomly crash, stop audio with device position change, and lack of higher quality voices leads me to seek out other App options, thus the 1 ⭐️ rating grade. Fortunately, the changes mentions are not a significant ask and believe YOU, the creator, can simply maintain and improve ClaroPDF. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I hope the potential for added income generated by better voices encourages your organization to invest some resources on this incredible app. I will be more than happy to update my review once YOU update the app.

Excelente herramienta

Mejor opción para escuchar audiolibros

The best PDF reader by far.

Though I have multiple PDF readers/editors on my system, I prefer using ClaroPDF Pro on my iPad. Its unique feature of allowing users to modify the PDF background color stands out. Many advanced PDF readers only provide sepia and black/white options, which inadvertently alters the colors of images, graphs, and annotations—a completely undesirable effect. In contrast, Claro lets you pick any background color from the palette while preserving the original colors of images, graphs, and annotations. It's the ideal choice for those who experience eye strain from extensive reading but still want to enjoy the process of note-taking.

Love this app

I was trying to find an app to use on my TD Pilot to read my packets for my certification training. I have Claro Read SE on my I16, so I wanted something similar. Love the app already.
