It was just hopeless. I spoke to them about it but they where not interested in the slightest.

Frustrante. ### 1/5 — Do not buy this app ever. Not merely costly but actively cancerous *2026-10-12, version V6.1.18* The app has autosave function which does not work. I would spend hours highlighting and writing on a pdf file, all to see none of it saved. I plan to cease using this shoddy thing as soon as the current plan runs out. ### 1/5 — Como faço para desinstalar!? *2026-08-24* Como faço para desinstalar? ### 1/5 — Prices are berserk *2026-07-23, version 6.1.12* I used this wonderful application last year for $30. This year it is now $90!!! Way to let go of such a useful tool. ### 1/5 — Worst App *2026-06-14, version V6.1.8* It was rated top tier to do safari web pages with words and photos to PDF… yeah right, the app wanted more money than the $3.99, 1000 credits, it wanted you to buy, buy, buy… it wouldn’t allow you to create html web to PDF. ### 1/5 — Stay Away - privacy issues *2026-06-11, version V6.1.8* They say when something is free, you are the product, so true. This app hijacks your ios system and force changes settings (such as default apps). Stay away! ### 1/5 — Terrible support *2026-06-09, version V6.1.8* Terrible support. I regret the purchase, won’t be updating or subscribing to anything, and am going to stick with PDFexpert instead. ### 1/5 — broken *2026-05-22, version V6.1.6* no longer lets me save even though i am paid up ### 1/5 — Aplicativo cheio de bug. *2026-05-21* Aplicativo cheio de bug. Comprei o plano anual e me arrependi. Não salva sozinha (toda alteração em PDF eu tenho que salvar manualmente). Vez ou outra, quando saio do aplicativo p entrar em outra janela, quando volto, o aplicativo (elementor )fecha sozinho e perco as alterações do PDF. Agora ele não está reconhecendo minha assinatura: está salvando com marca d’água. Tenho que ficar perdendo tempo p entender o que está de errado no aplicativo e tentar resolver. Não atualiza PDF em OCR também. Na propaganda do plano ( p vender) eles prometem tudo, e o aplicativo não é entrega nada. **Developer response:** Desculpe pela inconveniência. Você poderia descrever o problema que encontrou em detalhes? Ou, se for conveniente, forneça-nos uma gravação de tela ou captura de tela e localizaremos a causa e resolveremos o problema o mais rápido possível.
