### 1/5 — Help?

*2026-05-15*

Not sure what's going on. I unlock the pdf fine. Then go to the unlocked pdf. I want to delete a page and then it asks me for the owner password. I put in the original password and it says invalid password. Something is either broken or this is a scam with something embedded into the new file.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Try entering blank password and check if it works. Or try using our online version ‘shivapdf.com’ where you can add remove pages and unlock pdf at once.

### 1/5 — Pra desbloquear pede a senha do PDF

*2026-03-20*

Se eu tivesse a senha, eu não precisaria usar esse app, correto? Não presta pra nada esse app.

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2025-08-13*

Mandei abrir um PDF e disse que tal arquivo não existe.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will look at it and try to fix it as soon as possible.

### 1/5 — Landscape mode

*2024-10-24*

Please fix!! It does not work on landscape mode. I use the Magic Keyboard, it is impossible to use on portrait mode. 

I promise a better review if you fix that.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback we will try to fix it on our future updates.

### 1/5 — Nul!

*2024-07-31*

Nul. Ne fonctionne pas!

### 1/5 — Can’t open file

*2024-06-26*

Refuses to open a PDF stating incorrect password. The password is correct and file opens fine in other apps.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We will look into this and fix any issue.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2024-05-24*

Waste of time

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We know that ads are annoying but they help us to run all expenses. We think that you will understand this. If you want to use our app ads free then you can remove ads by purchasing our app.

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2023-05-15*

根本没法用

### 1/5 — Ruim

*2022-09-04*

Ruim

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do a damned thing except go round in circles

*2022-05-24*

Nix

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience created. Can you please describe what had happened so that we can fix any issue with our app. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

### 5/5 — Super appli

*2026-08-30*

Sans elle sur iPad je devrais taper le code de ma fiche de paie à chaque fois

### 5/5 — Simplesmente O MELHOR.

*2024-01-30*

Excelente e muito prático. Perdia muito tempo tendo que abrir os documentos no computador pra desbloqueá-los. Com esse aplicativo, vocês já abrem, desbloqueiam e salvam sem senhas no próprio celular. Mas você precisa saber a senha de todos os documentos que você pretende desbloquear. Então da próxima vez que vocês abrirem os documentos salvos, não precisarão mais das senhas.

### 5/5 — FUNCIONA!!

*2023-11-27*

Funciona, lembrando, você de saber a senha do PDF. Ele não hacker, apenas tira para que você não precise ficar colocando sempre.

### 5/5 — simple efficace

*2023-07-31*

tout est dit

### 5/5 — Supb

*2023-06-22*

Very easy nd right app for unlocking the pdf

### 4/5 — Essaie gratuit c’est cool

*2026-04-24*

Très bon pratique et mensuel !

### 2/5 — mangelhaft

*2024-05-16*

- aus einer 16kb PDF wird eine 450kb PDF
- die Qualität der entsperrten Version ist drastisch reduziert
- ob die App offline arbeitet ist nicht erkennbar.

**Developer response:** Sorry für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wir kümmern uns darum und beheben es so schnell wie möglich. Und zu Ihrer Information: Diese App funktioniert offline. Alle PDFs werden lokal verarbeitet.
