Be careful!!!!!!

Terrible company! They charged me £81 after a free trial without clear warning. Customer support is useless and nobody responds. Be careful before using this app. I do not recommend it at all!

App Won’t Open on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Disappointing experience with Smallpdf. When I try to open the app on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, it briefly appears to load and then immediately disappears, returning to my home screen.
Have deleted & reinstalled app numerous times, but nothing has worked. The app simply refuses to open, making it completely unusable.
For an established PDF application, one would expect much better reliability and compatibility with iPhones.
Hope developers investigate and fix this issue promptly. Until then, I cannot recommend this app.
