I used to use it with ease, but now all the features are caught behind a paywall. I can see putting some features under the subscription, but I can’t seem to complete even one task. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-07-18, version 8.5* Kindly, don’t make unnecessary and useless app like this again 🙏 it’s super annoying. ### 1/5 — Please dont do install *2024-07-16, version 8.5* Otherwise you will become irritated ### 1/5 — Oszustwo *2024-07-11, version 8.5* Zapłaciłam dwukrotnie za rozszerzenie aplikacji i nic się nie zmieniło.

The simple pdf maker app is also asking for money not fare at all! Don’t download this app guys! I have made the pdf for my exams in a hurry but it doesn’t open while I sit for studying ! ### 1/5 — Fraudulent app *2025-01-16* I downloaded the app so I could turn images into a pdf. No option to do so. So I bought the pro version even though I couldn’t figure out what the pro version was supposed to offer. Nothing. I thought the pdf merge feature- nothing. This app doesn’t seem to function at all. While it might be user error, observe the other negative reviews and how they speculate the other five star reviews are by bots. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-11-05, version 8.5* It seems to me a lack of respect for the client that they offer something and do not fulfill it within this application. I have bought credits for FX that were granted to me, the balance appears to be zero, and it is not fair that one trusts you and you do not fulfill what was promised, that is why it seems like a scam to me, I hope someone finds out and be careful with this application. ### 1/5 — Idiot App *2024-09-23, version 8.5* Why is the app free when the most basic service needs subscription ### 1/5 — What did I pay for? *2024-09-16, version 8.5* Hi, i was charged $3.99 for PDF Maker, but it seems I didnt get any additional services to use in the app. What exactly did I pay for? When I select things, it says to upgrade to the Pro version. I did that for $3.99, but disnt get anything for it. Help please, Thanks, Robert. ### 1/5 — Purchase didn’t get through *2024-08-22, version 8.5* I lost 1100 , 2 times purchase. ### 1/5 — Upgrade *2024-08-14, version 8.5* Hi, I did unlock it for 3.99 and it made no changes, wasted my money and it’s say upgrade to 19.22 now. Which I won’t bother. ### 1/5 — Subscription not working *2024-08-05, version 8.5* Please do not upgrade to premium, your money will be debited but the app won't get subscribed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — pdf editor *2025-02-12* I have gone through more then 10 app but after downloading pdf maker my document converted and edited with it. Thanks ### 5/5 — Create pdf on the go *2025-02-03* Superb app for creating pdf from images and send them to anyone by airdrop. ### 5/5 — Best app for pdf editing *2025-02-03* Easy to use pdf app Just tap to scan pdf and do task like merge or split or edit pdf’s ### 5/5 — A perfect app for pdf editing *2025-01-28* I have gone through many apps but I can’t find to split and merge option in other apps. I came across this app indeed very well. I recommended this app to everyone who are in search of editing pdfs. Thanks ### 5/5 — Functionality *2025-01-14, version 8.6* Nice ### 5/5 — Poor choice - cannot send faxes *2023-05-02* I attempted to upgrade to pro and send a fax, but could not get it to work, even after twice purchasing fax credit and re-installing the app. I could progress Al the way to sending the fax with the selected file, but then it would ab-end saying at least one file needs to be selected. Despite the good ratings, this app is buggy. ### 5/5 — Absolutely the best … *2022-01-30* I’ve tried several PDF utilities for the iPad to convert various documents to PDF and this one is by far the best. For the price, it does everything I need it to do and then some. I still don’t understand why Apple hasn’t come up with a way to “print to PDF” for the iPad that matches that feature on their Macs, but until they do, this is the best alternative. A couple of extra steps, but at least it works. I travel with my iPad, so I’m often in need of downloading and converting various documents to PDF (itineraries, maps, etc.). This does the job beautifully. No complaints at all. ### 5/5 — Excellent working *2021-12-06, version 8.3* Very good app ### 5/5 — Simple and superb *2021-09-24, version 8.1* The quality of pdfs are nice thank you. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2021-09-21, version 8.1* A simple PDF app it works fine with me thank you… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
