## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2018-12-15*

Much worse than previous version - keeps crashing.

### 1/5 — Unusable on 11” iPad Pro

*2018-11-10*

A total mess with the new aspect ratio. Unusable. Please update guys!

### 1/5 — AVOID AT ALL COSTS

*2017-07-09*

This is a good app outside the Blackberry universe.  This version of the app -- built for the blackberry universe -- regularly loses all annotations.  Ive had hours of work wasted on multiple occasions.  I like the features, but that one flaw makes it 100% unusable.  Do not make the same mistake I did by trusting this app.

### 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.

### 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?

### 3/5 — iPad Pro

*2018-11-14*

Are you guys going to update the app so it works properly with the new iPad Pro?

### 3/5 — Not there yet!

*2017-06-12*

Would like to see better integration with blackberry work, for example using blackberry work docs as a "location" or cloud services for iannotate so it automatically saves documents back to blackberry docs/network.

### 3/5 — Need some work

*2016-11-15*

Still some bugs that need to be worked out.  Used to have a link in iAnnotate 3 so I could more easily move a PDF from Good for Work into iAnnotate - in the new version the quick link button is missing.  Also, Apple Pencil does not work as well with the new version - I used to be able to move up and down from one page to the next in a document by swiping up or down with my Apple Pencil…but that functionality does not work in the new iAnnotate.

### 3/5 — Requires Cloud Service

*2016-09-28*

As the info for the app says, this requires a specific cloud service. Seems to be a business enterprise edition.

I can't honestly rate it for that reason.

### 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.
