Abandoned App

The app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years so changes to Apple Files are not reflected. You can’t delete imported scans from the app, nor can you delete optimized versions. Looking at a few other apps by this developer, it seems he/she has stopped iOS development. Shame, this was a convenient way to optimize iPhone’s insanely large (file size) scanned PDFs.

Lacking

The app cannot edit text in documents, nor even annotate documents with overlays. It can only rearrange or insert whole pages.

Does not integrate with iOS Files well, and instead has its own browser for the app’s folder.

Must pay

This app doesn’t allow you download your altered pdfs unless you pay. It is useless.

File browser outdated

I wish the file browser feature of the app would look like (or integrate with) the native Files app, a la Pixelmator. Aside from the looks, the custom implementation leads to some bugs, such as lists not getting updated in real time. For example: I remove password security from a PDF, and I tap save (not Save As), which overwrites the original, after going back to the file browser, I notice there are two entries of the PDF I just unlocked. One blacked out and one with a thumbnail. So I delete the blacked out. I attempt to view the one with a thumbnail. It’s blank. So I close and relaunch the app. Both are gone. It turns out, because the list isn’t updated, the blacked out one I deleted was the one that already has password security removed.

SF Symbols glyphs

Please use SF Symbols glyphs so as to have cohesion across iOS and to avoid confusion as the current glyphs of some buttons used on the app aren’t clear on the functions they carry.

It’s a great app for compressing PDFs but it can crash often.

It’s a great app for compressing PDFs but it can crash often. I do many many crashes where app just disappears after doing a 3 -5 compressed of 30 -65mb files…. Doesn’t seem consistent.

Useless.

I bought this hoping to be able to edit text in the pdf. You cannot. Absolute waste of 10 dollars…

Claims PDF editing and manipulation

With a word like editing in the description I thought I could type in the PDF. can’t though. This is why trials or demos still need to exist.

Refund requested.

Good

Does what it says.

Excellent, thanks

Perfect emergency PDF editor. I use it when have no access to desktop version, works for all the things I may need on the fly

Fantastic App

What a fantastic app for merging PDFs. Actually a 5-stars app but I take off 1 star because there could be more features and updates.

Love this App!

As a teacher who teaches in Board where every student and teacher is issued an iPad, working with PDFs is crucial. I’ve been struggling to find an easy way to merge PDFs. Everything I came across seemed to be inadequate as many of the reviews were negative. This App works great. I does exactly what I need and merges them seamlessly. It’s fast, simple, and has so many tools for PDF manipulation that you need not look anywhere else. I think this app has so much potential I’ve asked our School Board to consider providing a board-wide licence for teachers and students. Love it!

Love it!!

After evaluating multiple paid apps, I found PDFGenius is the perfect app for splitting and merging , especially for my personal use.The support is truly amazing. I stuck at merging selective files from the result of spliced files.Support team helped me nicely to achieve my goal and clarified all my questions..

PDF Genius is the best for merging and splicing. The performance is too good and the user interface is highly user friendly, intuitive and pleasant. Highly recommend it!!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. Regarding your problem, there is an option to move split files into main list. To move any resultant PDF files into main PDF list, do following: #1) Tap Results segment. #2) Tap edit button icon at top-right to switch to editing mode. #3) Tap to select result PDF item(s) (In your case split files). #4) Tap move button icon second to bottom-right in bottom toolbar. #5) Tap Move to PDFs I hope this information may help you. Please contact our support team at support@rootrisetech.com for further assistance.

Great PDF Tool

Surprised there are not more reviews as this is the only app I have found that lets you compress pdfs, edit pdfs and convert PDF pages to images in a single program. I highly recommend it!

Awesome!!

I know sometimes you can't trust some of the reviews here on the App Store, (I guess mine would be suspect too) but Holy Cow this app is awesome. It works better than some Mac programs. It definitely is THE iOS pdf app to get. I had tried a few other apps, bought another one actually and it sucked.

This one though doesn't. This app is not just good, but truly it is great! I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I pleasantly surprised.

I consider this app now one of my core important apps, like Goodreader and Transmit.

Great job guys! And Thanks!
