Awful update

The update removes some of my favorite features, I don’t have an option of turning pages, only scrolling up/down, not swipe sideways and the highlight feature is gone. This is not an improvement. It makes my life worse! I wish I could roll back to the previous version and decline any updates.

Terrible. Update cleared all my data and logins

I’ve had this for many years paid for it. All of a sudden the latest update locked me out and I’ve lost all my pdf files. Cant access my account and no way to retrieve my username or password. No Forgot password option. Avoid this app. Don’t pay as it seems to be expire.

Not happy

I purchased this as a one off purchase years ago and now you want a yearly subscription. Stick your product

PDF READER PRO EDITION

I purchased this app when it first came out many years ago, I haven’t used any other app as this gave me everything I needed although at the time it was limited to what I could do with it but that didn’t put me off.
I stuck with this app because it is what I know (hate learning new) so I decided as a loyalty customer to take them up on the offer of £9.99 a year (not sure if it is the same for everyone) and to find out what is included but will take me time to get used to the newest functions within the app. I will see how it goes for three months to decide it I want to keep it as is. 😁

It’s Not a Lifetime License

I’ve had this app for a while. Paid for it, either a lifetime license or one-time purchase. Downloaded it onto my shiny new iPad, and…what’s this about a loyalty discount? How can something I already bought be offering a loyalty discount? Oh. I see. You pushed an update and now want a subscription fee. Yeah, listen, this whole vampiric pay forever to own nothing model is way past its expiration date and I will be deleting this app to never use again. You got my money once. I’m not paying for something you basically stole from me again. Bye.

How to turn page as book style

It could turn page as kindle book style right to left. The new update without this function. I use it about five years, and without this function, I’ll remove this app.

Features missing (+Request)

Thank you for working to revive this beautiful application.

That said, there are some missing features and bugs that still need attention:

- The two-page view is missing.
- Many stamp items are also missing.
- Note bubbles cannot be easily removed or deleted (bug).

Feature requests: Please add engineering tools and markers, and more.

Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es tut uns leid, dass die gewünschte Funktion bisher gefehlt hat. Wir freuen uns, Ihnen mitteilen zu können, dass wir mit Version 10 ein umfangreiches Update für PDF Reader Pro Edition veröffentlicht haben, das zahlreiche neue Funktionen und Verbesserungen mit sich bringt. Sie können jetzt jede PDF-Datei mit einem Passwort schützen! Öffnen Sie dazu das Dokument, tippen Sie oben rechts auf „…“ und wählen Sie „Passwort festlegen“. Ihre PDF-Datei wird mit AES-256 verschlüsselt und kann anschließend sicher versendet werden.

Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Sie die neue Version ausprobieren und Ihre Bewertung noch einmal überdenken. Falls Sie Fragen haben oder Unterstützung benötigen, kontaktieren Sie uns gerne unter support@pdf-app.com oder direkt in der App unter Einstellungen → „Support kontaktieren“. Wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter!

This isn’t updated anymore.

The last update was 7 years ago. There are better options.

Buggy, Non-Intuitive UX

The lack of typical Apple ecosystem UX conventions (swipe to delete, press and hold for context menu, etc) is off-putting. Add in the bugs (encountered multiple within the first 5 minutes of usage, including a consistent crash that renders doc scanning completely broken) and this app is just a jarring experience. I want a refund.

No response from support

I purchased the software for the automatic scroll feature. I haven’t been able to figure out how to turn on the auto scroll. I sent support an email asking how. It’s been a week and no response.

Bad app experience

Useless app

This app is a Waste of money...
VVash..

The worst app I have ever downloaded

This has to be the worst app - a scam app, it doesn’t work, and is a waste of your money. It doesn’t work on an iPad 9th generation and won’t open PDF files, don’t think there is support, this ship sailed long ago, don’t touch to don’t buy, the free versions of any other PDF readers do a better job.
