### 1/5 — Useless App

*2019-08-01, version 1.2.5*

I downloaded this app as a way to look at PDFs. Apparently once you open, just open and not even edit, a PDF in this app it places it in jail. I couldn’t even share it out to my desktop. I had used it solely to receive an airdropped PDF from my spouse. It required me to purchase the full app to then airdrop it to the desktop of my MacBook Pro. What a scam! Deleted from phone and purchase history.
