### 3/5 — App not working for version 5.0.5

*2021-11-12, version 5.0.5*

The app is crashing every time i open it since i updated it at the newest version. Thank you, i hope it can get fixed quickly since i really enjoyed the app.

### 4/5 — Request

*2021-07-31, version 4.1.12*

It is the best app I have ever used to read pdfs. I have a request. Could you include a feature to get meaning of a word in pop-up upon a single long press? It would be great if there is an option to also check meaning of words within the pop-up by single press. And an option to check in the internet could also be provided. For viewing the meanings, it would be great if there is a dictionary within the app or an option to link a dictionary app such as WordWeb.

### 4/5 — Suggestions

*2020-11-20, version 4.1.0*

Yes it’s is the best app but two modifications required
1. Option to hide the notification bar.
2. Option to change the text colour.

### 3/5 — Feature packed FAR from polished.

*2018-01-28*

I use an iPad on the latest update and downloaded this as an easy way of editing a PDF. For a free app it's ok, it has the basics but it has issues with saving files. I just spent three hours on a document, tried to save it using the "save as" function on the 'download?' menu and it erased EVERYTHING! I got an error saying that the file isn’t a PDF or was corrupted 😤🤬🤯 I’m really trying not be unfair here btw. 

Anyway, if you don’t want to die from the stress of losing three hours of work, here's a tip: save your files to where you originally downloaded it from using the 'export' menu.

### 1/5 — Reading Ability

*2024-12-02*

Not reading the two to three words of the sentence.

### 1/5 — Voices, features, and functionality are clunky and outdated

*2024-10-26*

I really wanted to love this app, but the voices are so outdated that they’re painful to hear. Also, the app crashes regularly and is missing a lot of modern features. 

I thought about upgrading to the paid version, to see if there was an improvement, but the reviews there seem to show that the negative aspects carry through to both versions. I emailed support to see if there would be any updates soon, and they said there were no updates planned. 

I guess this is just going to be another deleted app on my devices. Bummer… the potential is there for greatness. I wish the company would invest some resources in improving this app.

### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade for 5 premium voices but no more appeared.

*2022-07-22*

Paid for upgrade for 5 premium voices but no more appeared. So what did I pay for? NOTHING

**Developer response:** Hello,

### 1/5 — Lenta

*2017-02-27, version 1.9.24*

È lenta, ci vuole troppo tempo per scaricare i file da google drive bisogna ogni volta aprirlo e non si possono selezionare più file.
Apple fa cagare.

### 2/5 — Adding notes to highlighted text takes too many taps

*2013-12-17, version 1.2.4*

Most common task, select text to make comment... Too many taps.  Where's the note option straight after a selection is made?

### 2/5 — Rip off

*2013-12-12*

Trial version does not include text to speech.

### 5/5 — Selecting feature is lost

*2022-01-26*

Hello the former version had a feature or option which would allow the user to select some part of the text like a paragraph or two lines or three letters of a word. But this new version doesn’t have that. please bring back that option in the next version. I’m a language learner, I really need it. thank you.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for leaving feedback for our ClaroPDF app.

This selection feature is still present in the app, but it works a little bit differently than it used to.  If you tap and hold some text for 2 seconds, then this will trigger the selection feature.

I hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2020-04-29, version 3.1.1*

Es una aplicación muy completa, fácil de usar y además gratis!! Te permite leer pdfs, modificarlos, subrayarlos e incluso te los lee en varios idiomas. Estudio filología inglesa y tengo asignaturas en inglés y español con muchísimo temario. Esta App me ha salvado la vida y el bolsillo, evitando que imprima millones de páginas. Aún estoy descubriendo cosas sobre ella porque llevo sólo una semana utilizándola, pero en mi opinión merece un diez. Millones de gracias por crearla ❤️.

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2019-09-11*

I was kind of skeptical about this app at first because it has a little bit of reviews. But i though eh its free why not. The app annotates, draws, highlights, its easily navigated. You can insert pictures, leave book marks. The only thing i havent figured out is how to save the file into the actual app. My pdf book is in a tab and if i push the little “x” on left hand side, i think itll erase all my annotations. Other than that its good.

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for our ClaroPDF app.  To answer your questions: you can save the file in to the app by tapping  Save > Save as... If you tap the little X in the PDF tab, it will only close the PDF.  It will not remove your PDF or any of your annotations; these will be saved automatically.

If you would like any more help please get in touch at support@clarosoftware.com and we'll be very happy to assist.

### 5/5 — Best app to read books for iOS

*2019-06-06, version 2.4.15*

Amazingly exceptional app to read books on iOS. I was in search of an app which can read out my books loud on iOS and found this on Google. It’s been the best app so far for reading out loud my books while I travel to work everyday. Loved it guys keep it up.

### 5/5 — Muy buena

*2019-01-16, version 2.4.12*

Llevo poco utilizándola, pero me es muy útil para estudiar, tiene muchas prestaciones, como por ejemplo puedes subrayar, añadir anotaciones, y un lector de texto con marcado de texto

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2018-02-24*

I love this app! It's the only one that does what the developer says it does. I have a lot of lengthy PDF documents to read and the only way I can get through them is to have them read to me. I had no idea that some PDFs were actually pictures and needed to be converted to text. The app converted my PDFs flawlessly and it is a great reader too. The interface is clean and easy to use.

Thank you to the developer/s!

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thanks for leaving such kind feedback; we appreciate your comments and hope you continue to use our apps in the future.

### 5/5 — Best pdf reader

*2016-03-08, version 1.5.26*

One of the best readers i have ever came across

### 5/5 — Irgc

*2015-11-11*

I deal with a lot of contracts that are sent to me via PDF files and I have to admit that this program has met all my expectations and it is an absolute delight to work, very easy, and I have never had any issues with using this program.

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving feedback on our ClaroPDF app.  We hope it still continues to be of use to you!

### 5/5 — with eye protection background color

*2015-04-29*

this viewer can do annotation like the preview in mac. it can set the white background of the pdf into grey or other sepia colors. which is great because i read books and manuals with iPad for hours.
