A Careless Developer!

This developer did a great job with creating such an incredible PDF reader, which in my opinion, is unparalleled with any I have seen. It looks natural and beautiful. Annual subscription would be worth it if only the developer was updating it to avoid frequent crashing. Because it crashes often leading to the lost of all stored files and requiring reinstatement, this product is not worth being in apple apps. It is frustrating. Either the developer is dead or just doesn’t care to help users. Too sad… I have to delete something that I paid money for—all because the developer is careless to update it.

My favorite annotations app!!!

Please keep this app going! It’s simply the best!

Pen thickness

This is the best pdf annotation app I’ve found. No nonsense. Seems reliable. Like workflow. Can’t get collaborations to connect. Need a finer pen stroke though. When exporting, in says ‘open in’ which is not good ui descriptor. Just name it export to get all the choices like save to iPad.

Whoopee, another update!

As a long term user of the Cabinet app I was both surprised and delighted to see that an update was available. Over the ten plus years I’ve relied on this app it has served me well despite having a collection of several hundred PDF’s, some of them 200mb plus in size. A handful of crashes have occurred and many times the app would only relaunch after a cold reset of the iPad. Hopefully this update will improve the stability still further. The one feature I do really miss is the ability to add new folders that will sync with iCloud. However, the folders I had already set to sync on an older version of this app still sync flawlessly. It is important to me to have all my PDF’s backed up. Perhaps the developer(s) might consider reinstating his feature? (Please!) I blushingly admit that I have had brief dalliances with many other pdf apps but this is the only one that I would marry - it is a superb app and used daily. Edit: 2/2/25 Delighted to see an update of my favourite app. The last update was very stable indeed. Simple intuitive design at its best. Thank you.
