Now the search/copy/paste function is useless and frustrating. ### 1/5 — Slow app *2019-10-28* Hoping you update this app to be compatible with the latest iOS It is now extremely slow and crashes or freezes.

This Apple version is nothing like it and useless. ### 1/5 — 환불요청 *2023-01-04* 안드로이드어플에서는 오디오 기능이 되는것 같은데 아이폰, 아이패드에서는 안되는것 같습니다. 오디오기능이 필요해서 구입하려하는데 6000월 결제가 되었는데… 오디오 기능이 안되요 ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 *2022-08-28* 이 어플 필요하대서 다운받았는데 연결 안되고 잘못된 양식이라고 뜹니다. 한번도 제대로 못썼어요 환불해주세요, ### 1/5 — 작동 안됨 *2022-02-02* 유료 어플이길래 이건 되겠지 하고 구매. 원하는 파일을 구동하는데 사용조차 할 수 없는 앱. 환불 부탁. ### 1/5 — 논문 안 열리네요. 환불부탁합니다 *2021-01-07* RISS에서 어떤 논문이 이 이름으로 된 앱을 깔아야 한다고 해서 4900원 지불하고 구입했어요. 논문은 열리지 않습니다. 환불가능한지요? ### 1/5 — 하... 환불부탁드립니다. *2020-10-20* 논문 읽으려 했더니 전혀 연동도 안됩니다. 저말고도 이러신 분들 너무 많은데 개선할 여지가 전혀 없나봐요? ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 *2020-09-02* 이앱이 있어야 열린다고 했는데 안열립니다... 환불해주세요 삭제하고 싶네요ㅜㅜ ### 1/5 — App does not work like expected *2020-08-03* I am in a cross stitch group and was recommended this app by many including on You Tube. I downloaded the app, all set to go, super excited because I thought this was going to be the answer to all my organizational problems. But alas, the app does not work. I uploaded a pdf but when I tap on it nothing happens. Nothing. It doesn’t highlight, or bring up a window. Zero. It’s like the program does not recognize my tap. I’ve tried reinstalling and using several different PDFs. All the same, none work. When I asked in the group, it seems an updated ruined the capability for most people. Too bad. I paid for it too. I give 1 star only because I have to give at least one. Do not waste your money on this app ### 1/5 — Very bad don’t buy *2020-07-13, version 3.0.4* It crashes all the time! Never buy, waste of money. ### 1/5 — pdf 문서 안 열려요 *2020-06-06* 논문 보려고 설치했습니다. Pdf뷰어를 유료로 결제하기 아까워서 다른 회사 pdf 뷰어 다 깔아봐도 안 열리길래 결국 결제 했는데 주소가 유효하지 않다고 안 열리네요 결론은 4900원 날아갔네요. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 환불 *2022-10-07* 다른 어플과 헷갈려서 잘못 다운 받았습니다 . 구입한지 10분도 안되었는데 환불 가능할까요 ### 5/5 — TTS 이제 잘되네요~ 굿 *2020-12-16* 1년전에 잘 안돼서 환불했다가 tts 기능이 아쉬워서 재구매했는데 잘되네요. tts 기능만으로도 만족합니다.^^ ### 5/5 — Exactly as advertised | Perfecto para mis necesidades *2020-08-18* I was looking for an app to play embedded audio for my niece’s readers — this is perfect for this! Haven’t tried the other options but it is exactly what I needed. Ideal para archivos PDF interactivos (audio incrustado). I do find it difficult to press play/pause/stop when viewing a single page, because the audio controls are at the top of the page. Workaround so far has been to view two pages but this would probably be an issue in 1-page files. I reckon this isn’t an issue with embedded items elsewhere on the page. Thank you! ### 5/5 — 五星好评，分期付款（没那么多的星可以支付） *2020-06-03* 不会的词也不能查，上方的工具栏常常出现，有的页读不了，有的页正好在工具栏的触碰范围之内，经常点不上 ### 5/5 — TTS기능 짱입니다~~~!!!! *2019-01-10* 많이 찾다가 안드로이드에서 보고 혹시 아이패드에 있나하고 봤더니 !!! ### 5/5 — Not worth it because of the new update *2018-07-06, version 3.0.1* Update on the negative review I left: the developers have been very helpful and are fixing the issues. ### 5/5 — Great response! *2017-06-21, version 2.704* Excellent! Super responsive service! Thank you very much for the fix! Much appreciated! ### 5/5 — Quick Fix *2017-06-20, version 2.704* After the issue with the search function making the app crash, they were very quick to resolve this issue! Works perfectly now, and it still my favorite app to use for cross stitching. ### 5/5 — Bug sorted quickly *2017-06-20, version 2.704* Last update had issue crashing when searching. This was sorted quickly ### 5/5 — Fixed the problem and now a GREAT APP!!! once again *2017-06-20, version 2.704* Great PDF reader - especially for search ability. Company very responsive to reviews and emails. Fixed my problem very quickly- heard from users and responded faster than I expected. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
