And PDF Max keeps crashing every time I try to annotate a page. I never had that problem with the older version on any device! What can be done to fix this problem? ### 3/5 — bom mas o kybook 3 é melhor *2024-01-09* alem de caro o app tem alguns problemas, então acabei optando pelo kybook 3 ### 4/5 — Can’t Save As *2021-07-07, version 7.4.0* This app is amazing, however when I try to Save As a document, the app crashes and doesn’t save any changes ### 1/5 — Cancelei no período de teste, mas me cobraram mesmo assim. PÉSSIMO! *2020-09-24* Empresa de má fé. Primeiro oferece a compra do aplicativo indicando estarem incluídos todos os recursos. Após a compra ficamos sabendo que é enganação e é preciso também uma assinatura caríssima. E quando vc, após testar essa assinatura e, ainda no período de teste, cancela (porque descobre que os recursos do aplicativos são péssimos), eles te cobram mesmo assim, numa violação dos direitos do consumidor. ### 2/5 — Back arrows/buttons?? *2020-08-04, version 7.3.0* Why bother allowing hyperlinks to work when there isn’t a back button to go back to the previous page quickly? Without that simple feature, this pdf viewer isn’t useful to me. ### 2/5 — One major flaw: PDFs from other apps disappear *2020-07-21, version 7.3.0* I opened a pdf from Gmail, “copied to PDFMax” and happily started reading and editing/commenting for over an hour. After other iPad use and coming back to the app ... the pdf is gone! It seems that “copying to PDFMax” is only temporary, and all my work is lost!!! ### 1/5 — Junk App *2020-03-05, version 7.3.0* Defaults are screwed up. Won’t let you print. Probably made in China, ### 2/5 — App crashing *2020-03-02, version 7.3.0* I love the app but ever since I updated it, it seems to keep crashing. I’ve tried all other solutions to resolve it but it’s not working, so I believe it’s the app having a problem, I’m not 100% but all other apps seems to be working fine. ### 2/5 — No good *2020-02-02, version 7.3.0* Crash crash crash doesn’t work. They take your money ! No customer service! SCAM ### 1/5 — App is Broken *2020-01-31, version 7.3.0* I’m testing the app for work purposes, but the 2nd time I launch the program it keeps crashing. It won’t open at all. I have reset the apps and reset the iPad, but it is still broken. I will not purchase the full version for fear of bugs. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-12-26, version 7.3.0* Used to work now just crashes every time you try to open in IPad Pro. ### 1/5 — It has stopped working! *2019-12-03, version 7.3.0* I’ve used this app for years. I’ve got many documents stored in this app that are no longer accessible because I can’t open the app. Most frustrating! ### 1/5 — Stole my money. *2019-12-02, version 7.3.0* I bought the paid version in order to use the text reflow feature, only to discover that I had to pay an extra $50 for that feature. What a scam, unfortunately. I really liked the idea of text reflow. The app seemed to have it beautifully implemented. ### 1/5 — Big scam. I would give it a zero star if I can. *2019-11-07, version 7.3.0* I purchased this apps pro version back in 2014, it was working on iOS 12 I could “Restore in-app purchase”, now when I click “Restore in-app purchase” it says “ PDF Max Sorry, You haven’t purchased any in-app purchase!” So what the hell happened to my purchase! ### 1/5 — BEWARE - NO APPLE REFUND FOR PREMIUM YEAR SUBSCRIPTION *2019-11-05, version 7.3.0* Got premium subscription for £49.99. Decided no great benefit - tried to cancel next day and told refund not possible. BIG WASTE MONEY. VERY BAD REFUND POLICY. ### 1/5 — Crashing!!!!! IOS 13 *2019-11-05* Crashing!!!!! IOS13 ### 1/5 — Glitch Subscription Cancellation *2019-10-21, version 7.2.0* I signed up for the trial version, however decided to cancel the subscription (during 3 day grace period). The payment was still deducted from my account. The program does not meet my needs at this time. Additional support/assistance would be greatly appreciated at this time.

Todos os meus estudos e anotações nos livros e artigos foram perdidos. ### 1/5 — Stopped working having not long renewed subscription *2026-01-30, version 8.1.0* App now crashes every time I go to create a PDF or try saving a current one. Have tried the fixes google recommends but none work and no support available on website. ### 1/5 — Great app when works *2023-09-06, version 8.1.0* I purchased the pro app but for some reason does not transfer all documents from the basic version. ### 1/5 — cannot download pdf max any longer *2023-04-19, version 4.1.0* PDF Max stopped working on my mac - macbook pro M2. I deleted from the macbook and tried to download but it will no longer download. Check its fixed before paying as if it doesnt work its a waste of money. ### 1/5 — bad *2023-04-18, version 4.1.0* literaly didnt let me add my pdf or do anything without paying for the premium - maybe its just stupid design or maybe its the fact its so hard to understand but dont be fooled by the 1 review that gave it 5 stars ### 1/5 — Crashes at opening *2022-08-19, version 8.0.1* I have PDF Max and Max Pro for my iPad and both crash every time I open them. What the heck?!!? It used to work perfectly. Now… useless. ### 1/5 — Need a subscription to do text! *2022-05-25, version 4.0.1* Looked useful, but needs a subscription to do even the simplest of things. Very dissapointing. ### 1/5 — It’s not user friendly! *2021-03-16, version 7.4.0* Sadly, I bought this app thinking that I was going to be able to sign every document that I process through it or download it to it. The reality is that I cannot find a way to sign documents that I download to this app, so it’s totally useless to me. ### 1/5 — No good anymore *2021-02-14, version 7.4.0* Used to be a good app but crashes now and looses info ### 1/5 — Great idea, needs work *2020-11-05, version 7.3.0* The app is okay. I hate that I had to buy in app to Merge PDFs Also, does not work very well with signing . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sharon *2022-12-10, version 8.1.0* LOVE THIS APP!
