URGENT: Sync not working
I’ve been using pdf expert for years and it’s been really good. However, for some reason, recently the sync feature for google drive folders is not working properly. The files don’t begin uploading properly. It just buffers and then the whole app stops working. Need a fix for this asap. PLEASE HELP!

A life saver
This software is indispensable if you use PDFs and who doesn’t? The OCR capability with the laptop version - the AI that can summarize - the annotation capability. just wonderful.
BEST PDF EDITOR EVER ENGINEERED!
I’m a Senior software engineer and have been a cheapskate and engineered my own to have gratis, until I discovered this one. Best ever! Highly recommend!
Recent update is very poor
I’m VERY disappointed with the updated app - it sacrifices efficiency & usefulness for aesthetics. Additionally, a tool consistency suggestion I made several years ago made its way into the app for Mac but remains unchanged on the iPad version. I think it may be time to change to Bluebeam.
As collection purchased one price for life
Never failed me so i trust it again
Keeping organized
Great for organization and scanning on the fly. Use almost daily.
Worst implementation of liquid glass
Hi. The new UI is really bad. Options are removed and the placement of elements make no sense. Why there is no share option when you select multiple files anymore?
Have to pay
Have to pay to do most things, view only
Timesaver.
Took me 1 minute to fill and sign a form I stuggled with for 15 minutes on other “free” PDF editor software.
だめだこりゃ
2026.9.23追記 評価5→3
アップデートの度に使いにくくなる悲しきアプリ。文章や画像を1ファイルに詰め込みすぎて500メガを超えてくるとアプリが頻繁に落ちます。無駄な機能入れずに昔のように軽くして欲しいです。グッドノートに乗り換えようかな…。
高校〜大学まで6年間使い続けています、とても使いやすい良いアプリです。録音機能（挿入→サウンド）はかなり便利で、講義中に音声ファイルをスライドごとに埋め込む事ができて、復習の際とても役に立ちました。
不満点を挙げるとすると
①PDF閲覧中に表示設定を縦スクロールにしていた場合、右端のスクロールバーを誤タップしてしまいがちでかなり邪魔です。このスクロールバーはオプションで表示オン/オフ切り替えれるようにして欲しいです。
②ページ閲覧中に右上を誤タップしてしまうとブックマークのオン/オフが切り替わるのもやめて欲しいです（せっかくタイトルつけて並び替えしたブックマークが、たったのワンタップで無くなってしまう泣）
③文字入力の際、ありがた迷惑な自動改行をやめて欲しい

Excellent
Makes my job a lot easier. Love it
Hate the white interface!
I love this app, normally, but a recent update made the app’s interface (the bar of tools at the top of the page) white and I hate it! It makes the whole thing feel like one page when it isn’t. It confuses things, and is altogether just frustrating. I don’t ever click to just have my PDF displayed, but this makes my skin crawl in a way that makes me not want to use this app anymore. Please make it changeable back to the black, because otherwise, you just ruined a perfectly good app.

NOT AS GOOD AS IT SEEMS
I used this app and thought it was decent. It had the basics so we could draw on pdfs, and I was actually starting to like this app until it started glitching a lot. I couldn’t move and I couldn’t erase and couldn’t draw. I had to refresh multiple times to actually use it properly. Honestly, this is the worst pdf editing app I have seen in my life. And now don’t you developers that will respond dare say sorry innocently as if nothing is wrong.

Bad
I have been trying for several weeks to get in and cancel this and it still has not been canceled. They can get your money in a second when it comes to it taking several weeks and it still hasn’t been canceled
good, but pro doesn't have ocr yet
I really like this app for annotating, and easy access to Dropbox, and I have sprung for the pro version, however I'm disappointed that it doesn't have OCR. For me that that's the most useful pro function I could have. this means that when they say PDF to text, if you're working from an image of text, you get no text - empty file. they do say they are working on it though?? I think I won't renew the pro subscription next year if it doesn't have OCR.

Love it, however, the latest update…
I love this app and use it heavily as part of my file manager. However there is one significant change that really diminished the experience for me. I love informational density. I love that iPad apps can have the two column view to make use of the larger size. The 13 inch iPad allows for an app to show the two column view even it takes up less than half the width of the screen when the iPad is in landscape orientation. However for some reason, since the last update, when you show the side bar, it just lays over the list of files and you can’t interact with the sidebar and the list of files at the same time unless the app takes up more than half of the the screen in landscape orientation. It feels like a loss of functionality without gaining anything. I really wish you would put it back the way it worked before. If it wasn’t for that I would give five stars. But because of the new update I’m really thinking of looking for another app, it’s that bad. Thanks for all the work you do, the app is amazing otherwise!

Pop up notifications?
Why would you send add-like pop up notifications saying that my document is getting dusty?
Sneaky underhanded bs
I knew this would happen everyone does it. I paid for this app and they took all of the functionality I depend on every day and stuck it behind a subscription paywall. They Stole tools i paid for and said nope you want it back you can pay $50 a year. I can't go back I cant downgrade to the last version theres no way to do that on iphone. I depend on this app and the day I need to use it in the field something I paid for is being held for ransom. I will be finding another company to depend on I guess

Tool palette doesn’t work
Squeeze action on Apple Pencil doesn’t bring up the tool palette advertised on the App Store. Double tap works fine.
Too expensive
When you think about this should cheaper.
