Seleciona-se o texto, escolhe-se a cor, mas não exporta. Isso é essencial para quem quer estudar. Arrumem isso, por favor! ### 5/5 — The Importance Of Never Giving Up *2026-07-14, version 6.1.12* Work ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-06, version V6.1.11* Bueno bueno ### 5/5 — Thiago *2026-07-02* Prático e bem didático ### 5/5 — Maravillosa *2026-06-29* Like ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-06-28, version V6.1.10* Great app so far. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-06-26* Ótimo ### 2/5 — unklare Lizenzstruktur *2026-06-26* Im AppStore gibt es eine Version „iOS“ für 47,99 € und eine Version „unbefristet iOS“ für 79,99 €. Mit der gekauften Version „iOS“ kann ich keine pdf-Dateien in Office-Dateien konvertieren, sondern werde zum Upgrade auf die abopflichtige Pro-Version aufgefordert. Außerdem soll zur Entfernung eines Wasserzeichens in einer anderweitig gescannten Datei, welche in pdf-Element modifiziert wurde, wieder auf „Pro“ inkl. Abo aufgestockt werden. Sofern diese Beschränkung nicht auf meiner Fehlbedienung basiert (Einkäufe wurden mehrfach wieder hergestellt), finde ich das sehr befremdlich !
Bevorzugen würde ich die Möglichkeit auf der Homepage von Wondershare (leider zu spät entdeckt) mit einer plattformübergreifenden Lizenz, die dann hoffentlich alle Funktionen (Ausnahme KI-unterstützte Anwendungen) abdeckt und eine Übernahme einer geöffneten Datei vom iPad auf den Mac oder umgekehrt ermöglichen würde (Funktion kenne ich von einem Mitbewerber). Das könnte man innerhalb der 30-Tage Rückgabegarantie testen.
Dazu müsste ich aber anscheinend für eine bereits erworbene Funktionalität doppelt bezahlen, was ich nicht sonderlich prickelnd finde. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-12, version V6.1.8* Great software used it for years ### 5/5 — I’m glad I downloaded this app *2026-06-10, version V6.1.8* As always PDF has delivered another great software package! ### 5/5 — Great Program *2026-06-09, version V6.1.8* I use PDFelement across all of my Apple devices. I am very happy with this piece of software. The easy conversation of pdf documents to a form is tremendous. Keep up the good work. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-06-09, version V6.1.8* I love this app. I use it all the time. It’s the most useful one on my phone! ### 5/5 — Nota 10 *2026-06-07* Adoro esse aplicativo ### 5/5 — CEO, construction director of MOCI *2026-06-07, version V6.1.8* Pakmal ### 5/5 — O melhor *2026-06-05* Usei vários, mas PDFelemente não tem igual, de fato, o melhor!!! ### 5/5 — Excelencia *2026-06-01, version V6.1.7* Excelente aplicación y muy bueno para editor PDF ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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.

Não é mais possível grifar com um toque, não é mais possível scrollar a página com o dedo com função “grifar” ou “caneta” ativa, além de agora haver um delay horrível ao escrever com a função “caneta”, precisando várias vezes apagar e e reescrever o texto. A atualização diz que foi para “otimizar”, mas simplesmente estragou a experiência com a caneta. ### 1/5 — Buggy App with Deceptive Marketing *2026-04-15, version V6.1.3* Purchased “Perpetual” Pro license that isn’t actually perpetual and only includes a very limited subset of the advertised software. Company refused to refund. BUYER BEWARE ### 1/5 — 1.載入過慢 2.筆記消失 *2026-03-10, version v6.0.16* 1.文件翻頁時常常會載入失敗呈現空白狀態 2.這週不知道發生第幾次，寫完筆記下一次打開筆記全部消失，我有購買一年會員，這讓我覺得是在浪費錢，不如用ipad內建閱讀器 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-26, version V6.1.14* Es una excelente aplicación ### 5/5 — Banda *2026-08-21, version V6.1.14* So far so good ### 5/5 — PDFelement is wonderful *2026-08-12* It’s a excellent tool to work with PDF. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-10, version V6.1.13* ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ ### 5/5 — Keith S *2026-08-08, version V6.1.13* Great application with continual enhancements!! ### 5/5 — Best ever pdf editor So far *2026-07-31, version V6.1.13* Highly recommended. User friendly and many function. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-27, version 6.1.12* Very good app ### 5/5 — Es una herramienta valiosa y práctica para académicos *2026-07-27, version 6.1.12* Es amigable ### 5/5 — Pratique et efficace *2026-07-27* Les PDF sont de grande qualité. ### 5/5 — D Business *2026-07-21, version 6.1.12* PDF --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
