## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't actually work

*2026-07-08*

App first asks you to pay $10 up front before you can use it (or subscribe annually for $8. How generous!) 

When I try opening a pdf, all I get is a blank screen. I've tried multiple pdfs and they all look the same. Maybe the developer hasn't updated their app to work with the latest iOS?

### 1/5 — Nul

*2026-01-19*

Payant

### 1/5 — Subscription, visual lag

*2025-02-23*

Can't comprehend how a dark mode only PDF reader requires a monthly paid subscription. Scrolling shows blurry text until you stop scrolling. Really not functional.

Doesn’t remember what page you were on. So when opening a PDF that is a few hundred pages you have to remember and scroll back to where you were.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. Automatically scrolling to where you left off has now been adding in v1.0.5. Please update the app and enjoy!

### 1/5 — Subscription, visual lag

Can't comprehend how a dark mode only PDF reader requires a monthly paid subscription. Scrolling shows blurry text until you stop scrolling. Really not functional.

### 1/5 — Useless app

*2024-11-14*

The worst app I’ve ever seen. Once you open it you have to pay $5.99 or sign up for $4.99. Then it doesn’t even open any pdf.

**Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We're really sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the app. Could you tell us a bit more about what's happening so we can try to fix it? Also, we wanted to clarify that the app is free to download and you can convert one PDF for free to see how it works. After that, you would need a subscription or to make a one-time purchase to continue using the app. 

We hope you'll give us another chance! 

Contact me at support@umango.in or use the Settings menu in the app to contact us.

### 2/5 — Small viewing box

*2025-03-16*

This app will allow you to see things in dark view, but it’s in a very small rectangular box that cannot be expanded. I wish I had known that before I purchased it. Too bad they don’t let you expand it to the whole window like a regular PDF.

**Developer response:** iPad support is now added (from v1.0.4). Please try the application again with full screen app experience!

### 3/5 — Doesn’t save last page

*2024-12-13*

Please let it be able to save last page automatically like a normal reader.

**Developer response:** Hi John, thanks for taking the time to write a review. Can you please edit your review to elaborate what you mean by “save the last page”?

EDIT: Thanks for your feedback. Automatically scrolling to where you left off has now been adding in v1.0.5. Please update the app and enjoy!

### 5/5 — Exactly what i needed. Simple. Gets the job done.

*2026-02-26*

Bought the pro version. Worth it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support!

### 5/5 — Paid app

*2025-10-25*

Like many other apps, this one only appears to be free until you download it. Annoying and deceptive

### 5/5 — Offline nur ein whitescreen!

*2025-06-20*

☹️

**Developer response:** Die Offline-PDF-Anzeige wurde jetzt in Version 1.0.5 hinzugefügt. Bitte aktualisiere die App und genieße das neue Feature!
