It’s frustrating to start using the app, most people will give up if they think it’s too much work and effort needed to just get the app started. Plus the competition is steep, improvements needed. ### 1/5 — not working. *2022-08-13, version 1.7* It does'nt open the pdf at all. It keeps crashing. ### 2/5 — Would not bother *2022-05-01* Most annoying, this app keeps it’s own library of files instead of letting you save files you work on back to the same folder you pulled them from. You can export files in the paid version, but I would still consider that annoying. Just save the danged file! I already have an extensive folder/file system set up for my many chord sheets and don’t need it duplicated in the app. Just save the danged file! 2nd, the ad in the free version covers the bottom of the page. 3rd thing I didn’t personally like is that it only allows sideways swiping to the next page. To flow through a long chord sheet, I need continuous vertical scrolling, and I at least didn’t see that option in the limited settings. Although it did seem to be good at working with the Apple Pencil as advertised, doesn’t fit my needs overall and I deleted it after about 10 minutes of trial. ### 1/5 — Free version is useless *2022-03-17* I am unable to do anything without it bringing me to a pop-up to purchase another app or download another app. This is a classic example of a bait and switch ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2022-02-13* Some of the documents do not open ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-02-09* It’s free because it’s worthless ### 1/5 — P *2022-01-16* Worst pdf editor app ### 1/5 — Don't bother, Complete waste of time! *2021-11-10* I don't usually write reviews, but I was so annoyed with this app I couldn't let another human being deal with this crap. It won't let you add docs from mail (as it claims), only scanned documents are allowed. But wait, it gets worse.!?!? ! It doesn't even let you do that! I downloaded the scanning app, managed to upload a doc, but there was no way to then edit the app on PDF. The PDF app sent you to the scanning app, which doesn't return you to the PDF with the scanned document. If their app actually does what it claims to, then it needs to be more clear. Don't bother, really not worth the effort. ### 1/5 — Total rubish *2021-09-28* Total RUBISH ### 1/5 — Tryipo *2021-09-27* No good ### 1/5 — Very Useless *2021-04-14, version 1.5* I have never seen a useless app like this one I wonder what they were thinking when they made this app... don’t download ### 1/5 — Never works *2021-03-14* Worthless App ### 1/5 — Failed *2021-03-08, version 1.5* Failed apps ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App removes digital signatures from PDFs when reading these! *2024-01-10* App removes digital signatures from PDFs. Totally defeated the purpose of using PDFs for contracts. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Crashes when Deleting Pages of a PDF *2023-12-20, version 1.7* It’s a pretty useless app if you use it to remove pages from a PDF file because it just crashes after a few pages are deleted. It returns you to the file unmodified. ### 1/5 — Crashing App *2023-12-01* This app keeps crashing as I airdrop documents from my laptop over to this device. Not impressed. ### 1/5 — Горе программисты *2023-08-24* Бестолковое приложение ### 1/5 — Don’t Bother *2023-07-19* It will just close while you’re working, it closes when you’re trying to email a file and there’s no way to move through the document except page by page. ### 1/5 — waste of time *2023-07-14* you need to buy premium to literally do anything ### 1/5 — You cannot type *2023-04-03* I thought this PDF app was the type you could edit by typing actual text from your IPhone keyboard but NO! You can ONLY draw which is crazy to offer a PDF in this form. ### 1/5 — People actually pay for this? *2023-03-12* This has to be the worst pdf app I have ever seen. Was this a school project for third graders? Certainly seems like it was. Wait, nah they would have made something better then that ### 1/5 — You should be able to sign documents for free and they want you to buy acrobat *2023-03-02* Furious- they say you can sign for free but they make you by acrobat in order to sign it. Liars. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2023-02-18* Could not import from iCloud- deleted App. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-03-25* Free, Light, easy to use, with ads but respects your personal datas. ### 5/5 — Impressive App! *2022-09-06, version 1.7* Truly like this App with its features! ### 5/5 — Sencilla pero perfecta para mi uso escolar *2021-12-21, version 1.5* Queria una app gratuita para poder comentar y subrayar los pdfs de misprofesores y va genial! ### 5/5 — Sencilla pero buena *2021-03-21, version 1.5* Estaba buscando una App que pesara poco, gratuita y que no fuera compleja, esto es leer los pdf y marcarlos. Esta aplicación es perfecta para esto. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-11-08* I had a pdf hat needed to be filled and signed. All other apps were expensive Smart PDF Editor was fairly priced and it did the job. ### 5/5 — Very nice *2020-10-05, version 1.5* This app is amazing if you have a stylus and it is awesome for editing and studying all I’d recommend is to add more colors and if there is a lot of writing in one spot there is a bit of lag. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2018-12-02* Easy to import PDF docs as long as you have them on the cloud. You can underline or make notes with a pen in several different colors and widths. And you can highlight in several colors. Maybe more functions, but I was just so relieved to download an app with no ratings and find it actually works perfectly as described, so I wanted to give it five stars:) ### 4/5 — Exporting problems *2020-09-04* It’s a great app but when trying to export it you need to pay just to move the pdf. There’s a free option which is to email it but when I clicked it just told me there was a problem with my email configuration and wouldn’t let me export without paying for a pro feature ### 4/5 — But can it fill out a pdf file? *2020-04-07* Basically I am looking for an app that I can use to fill out pdf forms, sign them and possibly make annotations on. One that I can purchase outright for a small dollar amount. I have no need for a monthly subscription. I would likely use the app maybe once a month or so. And Acrobat is ridiculous. So far I’m liking it. ### 2/5 — Reinstall *2025-02-20* Had to get the app again but now all pdf are blank. Open one and blank page. It know how many pages are in the pdf but no text. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
