Not as good as mac software

I am trying to enter text in a pdf form. I am in Edit Mode. I can use my ipad pen to write on the form but I cant locate how to create a text field and type in information. I cant figure out how to make the form fields editable so that I can enter text using ipad keyboard.
I tried using Support in the App and there are no videos to explain text entries. The manual states I should tap on the text block/box but there is nit suvh thing.

Leaking Data on Darkweb

I have used this app on android. Today I made an account on Norton, to download a new Norton Premium Antivirus. After the Install I received a notification of data leak on dark web. I checked the source where it was leaked, it was by gonitro.com which led to this application I installed once in 2021. Please refrain from using this app. I am afraid to use my real name after i learned that. I changed my email and passwords. This app developer need to put a serious thought on their cyber security.

MALÍSIMO, LO PEOR.

Es la peor app que he probado de todas cuantas he tenido. El tiempo perdido en intentar añadir texto, modificarlo, encuadrarlo... constantemente los cuadros de texto se descolocan, cambian de tamaño, el texto no encaja, no es posible hacerlo peor, no es posible.

Expensive and Useless

Not giving its Pro features on iOS and iPadOS. Giving only simple feature with yearly charges which iPad default PDF app already have.
