In the Scanner app there is a button which says " Combine PDF Files" (oh good...piece of cake now right?). No, it takes you to Apple's Mac app store to 'Open' the Combine PDF Files. Oh great. Download app and click on Combine PDF Files and guess what...you will have needed to save each individual PDF page you scanned and saved with. unique name to combine the files. If you think, aha but there is a Scan button in this app you will surprised that it will not connect to your scanner but wants you to scan from iphone. // This should be one app and scan all docsuments and then merge or edit the pages you want in the mergte. AND both apps cost money. Not good business practice. You need to fix this and combine the two programs to work together seamlessly. ### 1/5 — sérieusement *2021-01-21* combine les pdf mais change mais données alors pas bon pour moi et on plus je l'ai acheté désolé ### 1/5 — not got the functions you need *2021-01-14* you can't import Jpg's or HEIC photos (only standard PDF's), you can't appply contrast to the photo like you can in apps like Genius Scan for iphone, ro make the pages A4 or A5 you can't alter thre size of the final export file (they are huge) and you can't use it even once without paying £4.99 for it, voiding your rights to cancel the purchase. in summary, a Total scam. ### 1/5 — Disingenuous *2020-12-11* You get a crippled version unless you pay for it. That is not stated in the description of the software. ### 1/5 — pede a versão paga *2020-12-02* na hora de exportar o arquivo criado, pede para adquirir a versão paga. De que me adianta criar um arquivo se não posso exportar? ### 1/5 — kind of mad. *2020-10-13* If you don't want to pay 6.99 to get your PDF files coverted into one dont download this app. Not worth it if youre literally getting it for one thing. not impressed. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2020-10-13* I downloaded this to try to combine some PDF's and it wanted $15.00 to do anything. No where in the app discription did it say anything about a charge/fee/membership. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Compression - Poor Quality & UI - Too Limited *2025-10-17* End result of compression (regardless of L,M,H) was poor (blurry). User Interface (UI) is too bland. Seems simpler to offer a Save & Save As option. ### 1/5 — Lizenzmodell Out *2025-06-29* Mit diesem Lizenzmodell kann ich auch eine andere Vollversion kaufen, Danke. ### 1/5 — Dr *2023-10-21* wasted 1 hour merging files before realising you have to pay to save or print a file ### 1/5 — Cannot delete wrong files in the middle of compiling *2023-09-08* Very very archaic program...more like the dos days of computers. Not user friendly. ### 1/5 — this is stupid *2023-06-04* good luck rearranging larger selections of pdfs, the developers made a completely counter intuitive interface. ### 1/5 — Older version was great but not the new one *2023-03-10* The quick advantage of combining pdf, jpg etc in CombinePDF used to be great. But the file names have been replaced with just PAGE 1 PAGE 2 PAGE 3 etc which is not useful for arranging pages in the meaningful way that the old version has. The current App offers no more than can be achieved in PREVIEW. ### 1/5 — TRICKED *2022-03-07* I was TRICKED after spending hours putting together a portfolio I went to save the file only to be. confronted with the only indication and message of having to pay to be able to save a file. So annoying and decieving. ### 1/5 — Useless without paying $8 *2021-12-07* Can't even test it. This is NOT a free app. ### 1/5 — Not usable for a document with more than 10 pages *2021-03-27* The scrolling is so quick that you can never access the pages 10,11,12 ### 1/5 — Changes my text to some foreign language *2021-02-22* I struggled to get the right documents to merge then when it did and I opened on my computer to make sure it looked right it changed to words to some sort of kryptic language that made no sense. Waste of money and could have cost me business had I not reviewed what it looked like be for sendig to the bank. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super easy to understand! *2022-10-02* I had to merge about 12 pdf's together for a school project and this app was so easy to understand. I was able to make one pdf out of 12 of them. I loved it. ### 5/5 — absolut zufrieden *2021-11-23* Eine klar strukturierte Oberfläche erlauf per drag and drop zu arbeiten. Einfacher geht es wohl kaum. ### 5/5 — does the job *2020-08-30* works exactly how i wanted it ### 5/5 — New User *2020-08-18* In a bind with outdated Acrobat Pro - searched for a program to combine pdf files and this one came up. It was an immediate life saver! ### 3/5 — Money *2021-09-09* why charge money ### 3/5 — Not user-friendly/ not fully developed *2021-04-13* The app is not free. After making the payment of $8.55, many basic menu items are still inactive (File/ 'new', 'open' or 'save as'). You have to close the app and open it again in order to erase the old file and start working on a new one. Three stars. ### 3/5 — Just PURCHASED *2020-11-03* you can not see or export your documents until you pay $4.99. They should have put the price upfront like every other app instead of trying to be sneaky. And weird to charge a price when they only convert PDF's (not word documents). ehh I may keep it around but I will continue to shop around for a full-service document merging app. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2022-01-07* I have to save one page at a time, otherwise it fails and get a disconnect error. Very time consuming ### 2/5 — the app works I guess *2021-02-23* it all works well but they convienently let you know at the end that you cant actually save your work until you pay $8. I'd say avoid the app just because of this malicious attempt at making money. i would be much more willing to pay the money if the developers were honest from the start. instead, you do hours of labor just to have your work held ransom until you pay. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
