### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-04, version 1.1.81*

This app is glitchy and awful. I spent two hours editing a document and it was all screwed up when I tried to export. Dont waste your time

### 1/5 — Worst one

*2026-04-28, version 1.1.79*

Never wrote a review before but you should be proud that this is my first one. I gotta pay to save files, cant get more stupid

### 1/5 — ABSOLUTELY THE WORST APP

*2026-04-24, version 1.1.78*

I’m sorry I tried to open a few documents of lines that I had, all I needed to do is re-do and misplace a few things on the document, but WHY?!? Do WE HAVE TO PURCHASE SERVICE TO ACCESS TO EDIT, RESIZE..like no thanks I rather have Google then this

### 1/5 — Scammy

*2026-04-16*

Its 9.99 a week. Unless you unsubscribe and when they ask for reason of cancellation you click the “too expensive” option. Then they will give it to you for 4.99 a week. Which isnt exactly a scam, but it is pretty scammy. The app itself didnt actually get any use so I cant rate it beyond simply getting to know them and their business practice.

Edit: I should have read the reviews first. These guys are totally incompetent.

### 1/5 — Don’t waist your time

*2026-04-11, version 1.1.77*

This app screwed over lay outs, wouldn’t let me erase what I wanted to and put what I wanted to in the same font and size.. I do not recommend this app

### 1/5 — Hard to cancel

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.77*

Please cancel my subscription. It says I need I need to go through your Apple App Store? I did go through the app to cancel and it’s telling me I need to do that?

### 1/5 — Terribly placed tools, unusable

*2026-04-10*

The toolbar blocks part of the pdf you are using so you can’t edit text at the top of the page. There’s no horizontal view. The app is pretty much unusable without paying.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2026-04-08, version 1.1.77*

I selected this for a one- off conversion to sort out my pension. The issue of payment was very much understated and I have only become aware that there was a cost when the money was taken out of my account. In full. Not give an option for any other payment plan (or it wasn’t made very clear) I will be taking this matter up with a consumer ombudsman.

### 2/5 — Je ne recommande pas

*2026-03-26*

Inutile, vous trouverez mieux gratuit sur internet. iI faut obligatoirement payer un abonnement. Je viens d’être débité une seconde fois alors que je l’ai résilié, j’espère sincèrement ne pas avoir à changer de code bancaire par votre faute.

### 5/5 — Eunice

*2026-03-24, version 1.1.76*

Very good in editing files and it is really helpful and easy to use

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor

*2026-08-21, version PDF Editor v1.1.86*

Absolutely dreadful. Save your money.

### 1/5 — Nul et payante

*2026-07-28*

Nullle et payante ne recommande surtout pas

### 1/5 — Mauvaise expérience…

*2026-07-24*

Vraiment??? Cette appli m’a été imposée par une autre pour modifier un PDF mais elle n’est vraiment pas productive… pour faire quoi que ce soit tel que créer un document il faut acheter le mode payant. Et vu ce que j’ai à faire je vais simplement trouver une autre application gratuite. Je désinstalle

### 1/5 — A waste of a download

*2026-07-15*

It’s just a subscription.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2026-07-07, version 1.1.83*

You’re gonna need money if you want to do anything on this app. Better off just using someone’s home pc

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-07-02, version 1.1.83*

This app genuinely sucks. It doesn’t let you edit without the app crashing and restarting when you open again. Better paying money for a better app than dealing with this

### 1/5 — Capitalism at its finest

*2026-06-28*

I wanted to add that I got my GED to my resume, which is literally one sentence, but you cannot edit, save, send, or do anything without paying the subscription fee. Not to mention all these 5 star reviews are fake. I genuinely hope this company fails.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-25, version 1.1.83*

Same as another user. Opted for a free trial and the only option initially was to take out the annual plan at £39.99 via bank transaction (although this would be charged 7 days after free trial). Then redirected immediately to IOS to pay for a weekly subscription. Cancelled quickly as it felt dodgy. Confirmed cancellation on IOS, but still got charged 7 days later for the annual subscription. Was not able to locate the annual subscription anywhere on the website or app to cancel. Having to go through bank now to reverse the charge which is a pain. Help and support on the app just advises to cancel via IOS which I did.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel

*2026-06-24, version 1.1.83*

This app will now allow you to cancel. You are going have to go through Apple to unsubscribe. Real scammy.

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2026-06-13*

Des publicités trompeuses sont publiées par cette app sur mon appli de belote, visant directement les publics fragiles. "Vous ne pourrez peut-être plus lire les pdf". On se sent en danger, et on clique sur MISE À JOUR" MENSONGES : pas besoin de vous pour lire les PDF, et on ne peut pas mettre à jour une appli qu'on n'a pas installée sur notre appareil.
Il n'y a pas lieu d'utiliser cette appli payante, alors que d'autres font le même travail gratuitement.
Je ne comprends pas que Apple cautionne ces pratiques.
