display issues with text

used to be a fantastic app. now since some recent ipad/iphone updates, many pdfs will not display the text. switching to sepia helped for a while, but now even that doesn't help. i hope the good people at pdfviewer can get this sorted out.

once they do, i will gladly change this to a 5-star rating

Stick wth Apple Preview.app

This does not seem to support pdf attachments. It also phones home a lot. To me the app is not any better than Apple’s Preview.app

Update made pdf book diagrams and figures to open slow

This software is my primary book reading app. As a medical student I need this software. But update make diagrams and figures to open slow and shutters. It was never an issue. I feel sad now.

Not good for large and complex pdf files

Very slow for large and complex pdf files. I was thinking replacing the native Acrobat app, which was kind of slow, but this app is even slower and does not open the files, which Acrobat app handles…
