Scam! Don't Try it. Waist of time! *2017-01-13, version 3.3* Wow! Typically, one would like to try a product and see if it does what one hopes, wants , it for or to do. This app expects one to wait 1-1.5 hours for a significantly small text file to convert from PDF to a text file. But, proposes the would be fool to spend $10 for "faster" (whatever duration that may be...it could only be 30 seconds, but could be 45 minutes...one doesn't know) text file, if it indeed even works. A leap of faith for a $10! Don't know if it works. Had a 30 word, not pages, word, PDF to convert and it will take 1-1.5 hours? Wow. Not very effective, even if it could, which I don't know because it has not completed. Still, 30 words takes 1.5 hours!? Huh? ### 1/5 — Boo *2016-10-18, version 3.3* Doesn't work, and wants you to pay $10 to convert a document without having to wait an hour and a half. ### 1/5 — 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 *2016-10-07, version 3.3* Not even a trial conversion given. Either pay $9.99 or wait 1-1.5Hours!!!! 🖕🏼deleting worthless. ### 1/5 — Pay or wait *2016-08-30, version 3.3* You have to wait over an hour to convert or pay $6. This is a ripoff gimmick. ### 1/5 — Stinks *2015-01-31, version 2.4* Takes an hour and a half!!! And another 30 min to fix the jumbled text. Do yourself a favor and don't waste anymore time, start typing, it's WAY faster and easier!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Easier to type from scratch than to clean up this mess *2015-01-27, version 2.4* Not sure why this came out so badly aligned but it's useless to me - it would take longer to clean it up than to just type it manually. The text was mostly recognized fine, it just inserted blank spaces at random. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Took my money, *2023-08-18* After "converting" document simply disappears, no output folder, unable to find converted text. No online support for product. ### 1/5 — Scam - didn’t do a basic job *2022-08-31, version 4.8* :( ### 1/5 — Terrible don’t waste your money like me *2022-01-31, version 4.8* This app doesn’t work. I paid for it and it still won’t create the texts for you. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, save your money *2022-01-24, version 4.8* Complete waste of money, didn’t work for any of the documents I tried and seems buggy in even normal operation. ### 1/5 — Don’t do it. Doesn’t work properly *2021-12-30, version 4.8* Like others said, doesn’t want to convert nss as he’s wait forever. Paid the 4.99 and it worked for a little while sorta. Then stopped converting, just went back to home screen when pushing the convert button. Uninstalled and reinstalled and now wants 4.99 again - don’t do it- you’ll be sorry ### 1/5 — No chance *2019-01-06, version 4.6* If the company would like people to upgrade, they should give a trial period so that we can see if it works before having to pay for it. I don’t have a problem paying, if I already know I’m not wasting my time. ### 1/5 — It did not work..waist of money *2018-10-13, version 4.5* It did not work! ### 1/5 — Does exactly what it says but not good if you also want the photos *2018-02-23, version 4.2* Does convert pdf to text and nothing else. No formating, no pictures. ### 1/5 — SCAMMERS! AVOID *2017-10-02, version 4.2* They first asked me for $10 to process the file in 10 seconds rather than an hour/90 Mins. Then when I did, it didn’t work and they asked for like $49 if I wanted to have the PDF ocr done. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2017-04-24, version 4.2* After spending $10 it converted an image of writing to a .txt file... I was looking for it to convert text to actual text. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The working app *2018-02-17, version 4.2* This app, did the job. I was looking an app to convert pdf file to any editable file because I was lazy to rewrite everything back. Took me 60 minutes do to the job for free, but it did it. Thanks guys. ### 5/5 — Best Pdf to Text Converter *2017-10-20, version 4.2* I have tried many similar apps paid and free but this is the best one. Yes, it's just like magic! PDF to text, quickly without errors. This new version is a hundred times better than it was a year ago. Thank you for making it perfect. ### 5/5 — Works Exactly As Expected *2014-12-22, version 2.4* Takes a little while but OCR on my iPAD is awesome!!! ### 4/5 — Pretty Good! *2017-02-24, version 3.3* It did its job. ### 4/5 — Works *2016-08-26, version 3.3* Works as expected ### 4/5 — It does its job *2016-02-24, version 2.4* I could have done this on my pc but was in a hurry and out of town. This came in very handy. It about an hour and a half but for a small fee it would have been faster. ### 4/5 — Fine for small jobs *2015-07-23, version 2.4* I use it to convert small messages that I receive on a daily basis. The messages PDF files of type resembling script (Monotype Corsiva). The converter works fine. ### 3/5 — Good app *2016-12-20, version 3.3* It is works fine. God job ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2017-04-06, version 3.3* Converts document into a rough format which is ok but nearly worthless unless you are willing to read it right there in the app. So after waiting an hour and a half (for some inexplicable reason other than to irritate and extort you into paying $10) a pop up arises blocking you from transferring the converted file. The pop up gives two options: 1.rate the app, or 2. Contact app support if you don't like the app. No telling yet if transferring the file will be possible now that I've rated this app. This way of extorting a review is so irritating that I can't give them a positive review. ### 2/5 — does what it says *2014-11-30, version 2.4* it extracts plain text but not in a very readable format. maybe im expecting too much. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
