Cool app

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but 'Saylavy' absolutely deserves one. From the moment I started using it, I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtfully designed and effortlessly functional this app is. It has seamlessly integrated into my daily life, helping me stay on track and organized in ways I didn't think were possible with an application.



The user interface is incredibly intuitive, making navigation a joy rather than a chore. Everything just *works* – smoothly and reliably. It's clear a lot of care went into crafting an experience that truly benefits the user. If you're looking for an app that genuinely enhances your productivity and simplifies your tasks without any unnecessary fuss, look no further. Five stars, hands down – it's become an indispensable tool for me!

BOO

Why on gods green earth is putting BLANK TEXT BOXES onto my PDF locked behind a PAYWALL. I’M GONNA LOSE I

Good App

Helps a lot , recommend 😊!!

This app does not offer compression

Looked everywhere. Used the help center. Looked for it as a Pro feature. This only place that says anything at all about this app compressing PDFs is in the App Store. Wasting my time gets you a one star review. Enjoy.

Does everything I need it to

I am an iphone user. I use this app for reading files. I love how I can highlight, underline, make notations in the file! I can easily save files to it from the web and upload files from it to my cloud accounts. Awesome app!

Can’t edit text on graphic

It can’t edit text on graphic from my phone screen shot.

Shady business practice

Immediately upon opening the app, they give you no option but to sign up for a subscription free trial, which they hope you’ll forget about so that they can charge you over $100 once the week trial ends. It’s a “technically legit” but predatory business practice that relies on the fact that most consumers won’t remember about the renewal until after they’ve been charged, which is why their policy (as stated in the receipt) states you must cancel at least one day before, or you’re out of luck.

It won’t let me cancel

I tried to cancel the app and it says unable to cancel. I don’t know if it’s this app or my phone, but it feels like a scam

Keeps on crashing

I love this app but recently it started crashing so often it became so annoying. It happens regardless of the pdf that I am using. Please fix that!

Utter trash

This app deleted all of work.

Terrible

No way to drag and drop text so you need to hope it will detect the correct size of the text box, it never does so it’s useless. This incredibly simple oversight has turned the app from usable to completely useless. Good job guys.

Matt

Excellent app. I couldn't run my business so well without it!!

Unable to translate documents properly from Japanese

Like the title says it wouldn’t translate at all any documents

Costly

$80/year. The ad doesn’t mention price which is dishonest

Feeling bad with 99 others

I’ve been using PDF Expert since 2011, and for many years it was one of the best PDF apps on the App Store. It was fast, reliable, and offered a great balance of features without constantly pushing users toward a subscription.

Unfortunately, recent updates have been disappointing. It feels like the developers have become increasingly focused on monetization by moving features that were previously available into the paid version. A good example is signatures—adding a signature used to be simple, but now even basic annotation-related functionality requires a subscription.

I understand that developers need to generate revenue, but removing or restricting long-standing core features leaves loyal users feeling penalized. Instead of rewarding customers who have supported the app for over a decade, the app now seems designed to push everyone toward paying.

I hope the developers reconsider this approach and restore access to essential features. PDF Expert used to set the standard for PDF apps, and I’d love to see it return to putting users first.

Paid for app not subscription

I paid for this app on iPad and now it is subscription only. My Restore Purchase does not work. So, I guess when I paid for an “app” it was just a bait and switch and they treated it like a “subscription” that eventually just stopped working. Oh, and now I can purchase a very expensive subscription to get back the features I already paid for when I bought an “app”. No thanks.

Poor customer service

I have purchased this software multiple times because no one will help me restore the purchase. Buyer beware
