### 1/5 — Lets Try Another one

*2017-01-24, version 3.3*

Ok waited 2 hours to download, 2 hours of my life gone, came back and said sorry we can not convert this. A odt file

### 1/5 — Can't navigate gmail or Google drive

*2016-07-16, version 3.3*

Am I missing something here?  When you log into your Google drive account to access contents, it just pulls up a list of a select few, apparently random items from your drive. I'm not even sure where it's pulling them from in my drive. It won't allow you to open or even view any of your drive folders, etc. Super weird and disappointing. Does the same thing for email. You can't navigate to drafts or sent or anything, it just whips up a list of attachments (from the inbox?).

### 1/5 — Don't waste your time!

*2016-06-29, version 3.3*

Unless you want to pay $.99, it will take about an hour and a half to get your file. How do you know it's worth $.98 if you can't even see if it is worth buying.

By the time you get the app and go to convert your document, it is go clean your house, do your laundry eat dinner and you be lucky if it's done by then.

In three years, this is the worst app I have ever wasted my time with.

### 1/5 — Owner

*2016-06-25, version 3.3*

Bogus. Convert a Single document takes an hour to an hour and a half, or you can pay $.99 and have it done immediately. No thanks

### 1/5 — does not work

*2022-08-09, version 3.3*

upgraded to paid lifetime version and still does not work. plus, no way to contact developer unless i link an account to them. i just want to save local file to pdf without linking an account but can't do it even after buying paid version. how helpful is that? certainly developer can give a support email address to contact but no support email is available.

### 1/5 — Does not Work

*2022-04-23, version 3.3*

Do not buy - does not work.  Total rip off

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2021-12-29, version 3.3*

Does not work on my iPad.

### 1/5 — Error

*2021-10-24, version 3.3*

Doesn’t work with gmail and google drive.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2021-05-31, version 3.3*

Pay for upgrade to get rid of ads. They pay again to convert in less then an hour and a half. No thanks. Do I have to pay again to actually get the file in an hour and a half?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-04-19, version 3.3*

Won’t convert file

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2018-10-25, version 3.3*

When you try to do the actual conversion it takes 1-1.5 hours, or you can upgrade for $9.99.

### 1/5 — Annoyed to be FORCED to write a review!!!!

*2018-07-15, version 3.3*

Hope this ends it

### 1/5 — Nothing happens except error messages

*2018-04-08, version 3.3*

I just get error massages thats says I'm not allow to do that when I try to convert from email or phone.  It also says “that’s all we know”.  Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-11-27, version 3.3*

It’s practical it’s very good

### 5/5 — Did what it was supposed to do!

*2018-11-11, version 3.3*

Great app

### 5/5 — Thanx

*2017-07-25, version 3.3*

Did what i need, thanx

### 5/5 — Converted the file

*2017-06-28, version 3.3*

It converted the file like it said it would on the free trail which taken about a hour and half but most likely will upgrade later  to test drive it as work picks up and the need for it more

### 5/5 — Great app

*2016-08-01, version 3.3*

On the road this last week had to find something to create a PDF via iPhone and this one did the trick thanks for a great app I will probably end up upgrading to the more advanced version soon!!

### 5/5 — bijar

*2016-06-25, version 3.3*

very nice

### 3/5 — So Far So Good

*2017-03-24, version 3.3*

It works...

### 2/5 — Very Misleading

*2019-01-07, version 3.3*

It takes over an hour to convert a file, so I didn't bother going through the whole process (so I don't even know if it works correctly). I give it 2 stars because it might be a decent app after you pay the 9.99 to upgrade. But there are no indication that this is a "lite" version and having to find that out after the fact feels bad. There is nothing wrong with paid apps, but is it really difficult to be upfront about it?

This is a $9.99 app marketed as a free one. Don't waste your time trying to wait +1 hr to find out for yourself.
