### 1/5 — Poor

*2024-03-11*

No undo function, sometimes throws away edits, zoom in removes all annotations and then misaligns any that are added. Just poor.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-19*

Stops importing documents after 1 month of use. So useless.

### 1/5 — Hard to use / limited functionality

*2020-02-29*

Not nearly as user friendly as you would expect. When trying to draw mark-ups on documents it creates boxes that move all of your text, not clear how to delete written text, list goes on. A lot needs to improve.

### 2/5 — Needs Work

*2019-09-21*

The inability to send bulk documents renders this almost worthless.  Other problems—if you make multiple edits with the pencil and later want to change one, you will have to delete all of the edits you made; you cannot just delete/change one.  If you make an edit on the bottom of one page and another edit on the top of the following page, it will lump those together but because they are on different pages will not include the latter in a printout.  The app will close unexpectedly and will lock up during search functions.  That are just some of the problems.  Unfortunately it is the only app that is authorized for our enterprise so I am stuck with it.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2019-04-29*

Poor

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-01-17*

Almost never works as it should. If the app is working for you, do yourself a favor and never update it.

### 1/5 — Broken!

*2019-01-15*

The most recent update seems to have broken the app, which now won’t open because it says my device is jail broken. My device is not jail broken.

### 4/5 — Basically good, but...

*2019-01-13*

From today, it now does not work. It brings back with an error message “access to app is denied; the device is jail broken.” In Japanese. Is there any way to fix the problem?

### 1/5 — Not good

*2018-12-15*

Much worse than previous version - keeps crashing.

### 2/5 — New version unstable

*2018-11-28*

The updated version now crashes every time I try to upload a file from Share.  Please fix this.
