Bug Fixes and Feature Enhancements

User reviews

Random crashes

The Preview App is good, especially when Iโ€™m on my Mac Mini and MacBook Pro, because when I highlight a document or make notes it does show up immediately on both devices including my iPhone. However, when I do the same highlighting/note taking but through my phone on the Preview App, sometimes the app just crashes and then my highlight/ note disappears. Overall, still a decent app.

Needs a way to see chapters

No way to see chapters in a longer PDF, which is insane. You have to scroll all the way through hundreds of pages. Please fix!

What did you all do

How on earth did you mess up this app this bad? Horrible functionality and is barely usable.

Not good for note taking

App will randomly erase what you just wrote or will lag while writing. Recently, it wonโ€™t even open files completely and just closes out.

Need to fix

Hang and slow during writing
