Benötigte Funktionen sind vorhanden. Leider gibt es an und an Abbrüche ### 2/5 — Will not read pdf files longer than 120 pages *2026-05-12, version 2026.4* This limit basically makes this program worthless to me. ### 2/5 — Greedy and terrible *2026-04-20, version 2026.3.1* What an awful surprise. After paying 15$ for a year subscription, I find out that the very basic features of “compress pdf” to reduce file size, is a SUPER PREMIUM feature that you need to pay MORE cash for! So disappointed, what a waste of money and what a dishonest app. Thankfully, there are now tons of free websites, including even Adobe, where you can reduce your odd file size for free. Adios, foxit! ### 2/5 — Uh *2026-04-08, version 2026.3.1* So much not free ### 3/5 — Не работает *2026-02-28* Не работает от слова совсем **Developer response:** Нам очень жаль, что у вас возникла такая проблема 😔 Это не тот опыт, который мы хотим предоставлять. Пожалуйста, отправьте обращение в нашу службу поддержки через форму: https://kb.foxit.com/s/submit-a-case ### 4/5 — Pedidos *2026-01-27* Gostaria de pedir a função “signature” (olhem o iAnnotate), e o corte por página, pra ter a possibilidade de cortar cada página de um tamanho. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-01-10, version 2025.12.1* Riddled with bugs. Can't change the font size of added text or copy/paste text boxes. Randomly crashes, especially when trying to undo. Terrible mobile app ### 1/5 — Paywall palooza *2025-12-06, version 2025.11* One paywall after another, the “cloud version” is extremely glitchy on the iPad with the dialog boxes opening offscreen and trapping the user, and it sounds like I’m doing Morse code as it take some random number of presses to open or select anything. Such better free options out there than this. Seems to be to busy pushing AI product then supporting the existing system. ### 3/5 — Annoying reset of page size *2025-11-22* In the Views menu, there should be, or if it already exists, it's not working properly, an option to always maintain the page size adjustment as the user left it. The manual cropping, as it is, doesn't work when you want to make the page smaller than the maximum horizontal width. This improvement is important because it's annoying to have to readjust the page size to your liking EVERY TIME you switch applications. **Developer response:** We're sorry to hear you're having a bad experience. Yes, please send us some screenshots. We'd love to understand the issue and help resolve it.

Приложение лагает, часто вылетает, а при двойном тапе для увеличения зависает на длительное время — каждый раз приходится полностью перезаходить. Очень разочарован. **Developer response:** Извините за это, dgdjjfh! Это действительно раздражает. Пожалуйста, откройте заявку на https://kb.foxit.com/s/submit-a-case, и наша команда проверит нестабильность и поможет решить проблему. ### 1/5 — Desperate for Free Trial forgetters *2025-10-27, version 2025.9* Not only do you have to pay to remove a password, but you can’t do a free trial through the Apple ecosystem somehow and it takes you to their website which is crazy Another L pdf editor that hides less common functionalities behind paywalls like every other one ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be the best software *2026-08-03, version 2026.4.3* I had purchase a perpetual license so it ment I didn’t get any new versions up dates or the ai features now they have removed features that were included when I purchased the software for close to $250.00 per computer ### 1/5 — RESSARCIMENTO *2026-05-26* Hoje eu entrei no aplicativo para ter um acesso de 7 dias grátis, assim como apareceu na mensagem. E simplesmente foi cobrado 699, o plano anual, logo, quero ser ressarcida, pois eu não quero esta compra! Um absurdo isso. diante disso, peço urgência no meu reembolso. ### 1/5 — Ежегодный донат *2026-04-02* Слушайте, задолбали со своими подписками! Если софт хороший, я готов заплатить, но только единоразово и за бессрочное использование, захочу обновить на новую версию с обновленным функционалом, заплачу еще. Подписка - это неприемлемый способ приобретения не облачного продукта, и тем более какой то простой pdf ридер и редактор! Скоро с таким подходом калькуляторы по подписке начнут делать. Пользуйтесь сами своим ПО. Жаль, вроде есть потенциал у приложения, но к сожалению условия категорически неприемлемые. ### 1/5 — Poor Editing *2026-03-23, version 2026.3* The app looks similar to the desktop counterpart that my company uses. However, it struggles to do anything close to what the desktop version does. (1)You can’t select text and adjust its size despite just inputting the text box. (2) Settings for text size and font do not get saved, the app defaults to Courier 18pt. (3) when you go to adjust the size 18 before you start typing, it will show the previously selected text size, but it will never actually input at that size, same goes for font. Mine says ArialMT and 10pt but the UI displays Courier 18pt after having to manually close the windows for font and size selection. Another annoying tidbit. I found you can get around this annoying portion by going to the “Fill & Sign” section, but you are then limited to only adjust size and not font. Really dissapointing for an $84.00/yr application if you go the monthly subscription route. ### 1/5 — Bom *2026-03-20* Uso há um bom tempo. Atualmente tem ocorrido substituição de arquivos - bug. Perdi documentos importantes **Developer response:** Foxit team is so sorry for the bad user experience this new release brings to you. We will try to reproduce this issue and fix it in the future release. Thank you for your valued feedback! ### 1/5 — ? *2026-03-06* Перестал видеть подписку, из-за чего перестал быть доступен весь редакторский арсенал. ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-02-18, version 2026.2* App constantly crashes when saving to ICloud or iPad storage. Unable to save any edited changes including cropping. Very disappointed and regret purchasing. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-02-05, version 2026.1* I use Foxit Phantom on my PC, and for the most part I’m happy with it. All I’m trying to do with PDF Editor is highlight and make some notes on a PDF but it closes often making it extremely frustrating and unusable. ### 1/5 — Free version is nothing *2026-02-04* The free version is not better than using apple stock reader ### 1/5 — Нестабильная работа *2026-01-10* Приложение с хорошими функциями, но работает очень нестабильно: постоянно самопроизвольно закрывается без сохранения файлов, требует заново войти в учетную запись, но при входе тоже возникают проблемы. Продлевать подписку не буду UPD. Не войти в аккаунт ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful mobile and desktop *2026-07-17, version 2026.4.3* One program that can be used both with my iPad and laptop. Replaces my subscription to Adobe. Ability to work with pdf files on my iPad is particularly useful. ### 5/5 — Foxits almost does it all *2026-07-14, version 2026.4.3* I wish you could over lay pdf drawings and get an accurate take off when setting the scale correctly. (If it does do this. How would I go about it?) ### 5/5 — Great and Really Low-Consumption app *2026-06-26, version 2026.4.3* I Updated my Ipad pro m4 to 26 ipad os, after that Preview app for reading is not an Option, for a huge consuming battery life..but this Foxit manage battery with astonishing care and the files stay low and light-weight in ssd. Tnx guys. ### 5/5 — Still outstanding *2026-03-01, version 2026.2* For years you have been outstanding. Congratulations ### 5/5 — Foxit *2025-11-19* Um dos melhores programas de aplicativo pdf... **Developer response:** Obrigado, Felix! Estamos corando! Que bom que você está amando o Foxit! Continue sendo incrível. ### 5/5 — Top *2025-11-08* Porém eu queria testar as outras ferramentas de IA ### 5/5 — Meu leitor favorito *2025-09-05* Sou muito fã do foxit há anos ### 5/5 — отличное приложение! *2025-08-20* Использую как PDF-хранилище, доволен как слон! ### 5/5 — Report crash *2025-08-19, version 2025.7* Thanks for your great job. I always use your app for reading books and all types of pdf files. There is a crash bug in your app. If I keep my phone in landscape mode and then open app. It opens in portrait mode. While the phone is still in landscape mode if I click on any of my pdf files from the recent list the app will suddenly close without any prompt. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2025-08-18, version 2025.7* Foxit has been my best friend the last year and a half. It is compatible across all of my Apple devices, the features that come with the $10 annual plan is beyond a steal. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
