Beautiful app, so useful and helpful for writing and planning! Best of all, it’s free!!! Great job, but what will make it perfect is if it can edit formats and style and fonts. In total, great app, try it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-09-13

Editing a scanned form now looks like it was never edited.

• Replacement text matches the page it sits on — the real colour, weight and size are measured from the page itself, not guessed. No more pale boxes or ghosted words left behind where the old text was.
• Filling a form field inks it properly instead of copying the field's grey hint text, so a completed form reads as completed.
• Table rules and field borders are left intact when you edit the line they sit on.
• Tap-to-edit and Find & Replace now work on scanned documents that have no text layer.
• Fill Form now explains exactly how to complete a scanned form rather than just reporting no fields.

Also in this update: lower prices on weekly and monthly plans, faster AI responses, and a large reduction in the data the app sends when answering questions about long documents.

### 1.3 — 2026-09-02

Editing just got a lot more capable.

• ADD TEXT — tap anywhere on the page and write. Choose the size and weight.
• ERASE — tap any line to remove it cleanly, with the background matched automatically.
• FILL & SIGN — fill real PDF form fields, and draw your signature once to reuse it on every document.
• Undo any edit with a single tap.

Also in this update: PDF Genius Pro, with unlimited editing and AI. Everything you could do before stays free every day, and the app still works entirely on your device.

### 1.2 — 2026-07-29

Better editing and a smarter assistant:
• Bold text now stays bold when you edit it
• More reliable tap-to-edit on forms and tables
• Cleaner Rewrite & Translate results
• Various fixes and performance improvements

### 1.1 — 2026-07-22

Smoother, more reliable text editing:
• Tap a word to edit just that word, or switch to the whole line
• New Find & Replace for exact, instant edits
• Cleaner Rewrite & Translate results
• Now available in more languages

### 1.0 — 2026-07-17

No release notes.
