Crashes everytime I try to bookmark
Response from developer
===[ 2026. 2. 4. developer reply ]=== Hi Botegote14, thank you for being a loyal user for years. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the recent bookmark crash. Our team has worked hard to resolve this, and the fix is now available in version 26.2.2. Please update your app to this latest version. Since you've already tried various troubleshooting steps, we believe this update will finally resolve the issue for you. If the problem persists, please reach out to us so we can investigate further. We appreciate your patience. ===[ 2026. 1. 30. Botegote14 review ]=== Very disappointed. I have paid for this app and have been using it for years, but during the last week it’s been crashing every time I try to add a bookmark which makes it unusable to me. I have backed up my files and deleted the app and reinstalled. I have even updated my iOS but it crashes with the older 18.7.2 iOS version and the new iOS 26.2 version so I don’t know what’s going on, but the app is now useless and worthless.

Doesn’t support split view
Response from developer
===[ 2024. 10. 24. developer reply ]=== Both the PDF Notes S and PDF Notes C apps support split view. You can download it via Settings > Cross License > PDF Notes S. Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful day! ===[ 2024. 5. 20. and1n0rr review ]=== This apps doesn’t support split view
Excellent app for heavy PDFs.
I find it amazing that anybody could use any other app for PDF reading after using this one. This application will definitely spoil you.
I really wanna thank the developers for creating this app an let them know that your app is the ONLY one that I suggest to anybody that ever asks me for a pdf reader on the iPad.
Thank you again.

Thank you for your best review and rating.
The most worsts app
Response from developer
===[ Review on 2. 10 2023 ]=== The most worsts app I use this app for a long time. I remove the app and install it with pay 9.99$ still have a stupid ads on it !!! ===[ Answer on 2. 11. 2023 ]=== A few days ago it was reported that there was an error related to receipt processing in Apple's system. Since what you have experienced is related to the error above, please contact Apple Customer Care immediately for a refund. Please understand that we are not responsible for any of the above errors. Remove the ads by going to Settings > License > Refresh Receipts (Restore License). If you still see ads, it may be due to an old cache in iOS or Apple Server, wait about an hour, reboot your iPad and try again.

Response from developer
Thank you for your kind review. I have been thinking about it but it's not simple because this app had been designed 10 years ago. I am sorry but I can not answer you about it at this time.
Great App
After last update adding notes function close the app. I have tried it with different pdf and opening old notes do the same. Please fix the bug :)
Response from developer
It's a bug of iPadOS 13.1.x so please update your iOS to the 13.2.x version. This bug can be fixed only if you updated your iOS to the 13.2.x version.
Bug still not addressed : UPDATED
I have had the paid version for several years now and have been pretty consistently happy with the app and it’s improvements. However, since the two updates ago, I’ve been unable to launch the app at all. The launch graphic shows up on the iPad screen and then it simply shrinks to the background. It continues to run in the background, but it will not expand to full screen and is completely unusable as it is. There have been two updates since the problem arose, both for “bug fixes”, but the problem remains. What gives?
Response from developer
Please run your iPad Settings app - pdf-notes for iPad - Reset Settings. Refer to the page 50 of the user guide. "Reset pdf-notes settings"
Cannot read a word with apostrophe while using search.
Response from developer
Please press and hold the apostrophe and select the exact one in the book title. You may see 4 different apostrophe characters. iOS 11 changed the default apostrophe in the keyboard (called Smart Punctuation) and many customers have not known about it yet. So... it's not a bug~ ^^ You can also turn off Smart Punctuation using the Settings app - General - Keyboards. I hope this may help you.
Best app, wish it supported split screen
Response from developer
10 years ago, pdf-notes had been developed for iOS 3.0 so that there have been some difficulties to adapt new technologies for newer iOS versions. We had to face some difficult works like converting from 32 bit engine to 64 bit, and failed to adapt some new technologies including split views, etc. Therefore, we have developed PDF Notes S to adapt new technologies of recent iOS versions to the existing pdf-notes technologies; now it supports 2 pages viewer, split views, fast page turning and quick zoom, etc. Please check Settings - Cross License.- PDF Notes S menu.
Excellent app
Best app to read pdf books!
My only request would be to allow selection of which page to show on the shelves. Google Books all have the same first page so all my books look the same. I'd love to pick which image to use. I understand I can change the color of the icon, but I'd much rather have the actual book cover, which means selecting a different page than the first one.
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your nice review. You can change any book icon color with its title so that please use it if possible. (for more information, please refer to the page 39 of the user guide)
Freezing issue
Response from developer
Please send me a bug report using Settings menu.
Freezes up a lot since recent update
Response from developer
--- added on 2017.10.12 --- Could you please please send me the backup file of the freezing document if possible? Please... I am still waiting to check what the problem is... --- old reply on 2017.10.10 --- If you want to solve any problem, please send me a bug report instead of this review. I have never seen those kind of issue until your review. Please send me the backup file of the document frozen while you are making annotations. musebook@musebook.com
Amazing app
And add cloud back-up.
Thanks...great work...this is by far the best PDF app out there.
Response from developer
Thank you for your kind encouragement. Please read the page 19 of the user guide; you can see a popup menu on the top of the page. The left most icon is a sticky note, and the next icon is a TEXT note without the "post it note" feature. You can customize text color, boundary color, and many things... I hope this may help you. ^^

Great for school
Response from developer
Thank you for your great review and I am really happy you love pdf-notes~ ^^
Best app
I give lectures at school using this app. Worth 5 star!!!
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your kind encouragement~ ^^
It just works
As a PhD student, I spend a great deal of my time reading and editing PDFs. This app has, in the months I've been using it, become the core of my workflow. It allows me to highlight and annotate with my own hand, regardless of whether the file is a scanned image of an old book (without OCR text) or a modern PDF with searchable text. Dropbox integration has been flawless.
The app lets me save the original (unedited) file and versions with my notes and highlights on them.
Put simply: it just works.
