User reviews

Just disappointed

This was such a good app when I got it a year ago; as a college student it allowed me to mark up practice exams, worksheets, and anything else I might need to do with PDF for free. Now, everything is blocked behind a paywall, and it’s just simply sad to see such a good app stoop to such a low level due to pure greed. You people are sad and shouldn’t be forcing people into subscribing especially when using the app sparingly.

Locks up

I pay for this every month, use it a lot! Once in a while a PDF i am working on locks up and will not. Allow me to email or even print! This is the only customer support I can find! Very frustrating !!

No support site

The support link goes to the parent company which doesn't list PDF Hero. Clicking on 'support not listed' is a link to the first page where PDF Hero isn't listed.

Очередной развод

Все платно. Это не редактор. Это просто реклама платной версии. Абсолютно не рабочая.

PDF Hero isn’t what it used to be

I paid for this app many years ago when I was transitioning to completing documents and the need for a quick turn around on specific items. It worked so well and I couldn’t have been happier!
However recently I have been having problems with getting the app to work properly. I checked for current updates to the app, turned off and on my IPad. I am very disappointed with the current lack of productivity the app provides.
