### 1/5 — Should be pulled

*2021-06-22, version 20.1.0*

Not sure why this is even still in the App Store. It hasn’t worked properly for a long time. It’s too bad, since I can’t proof items in a web browser on the iPad, either. Hoping Adobe can sort something out so I don’t have to fire up a laptop just to proof a design.

### 1/5 — Has to ask for pw everytime

*2021-04-21, version 20.0.8*

What’s the point of asking for verification every time?

It crashes all the time. It’s not made for mobile. Hitting the left ui elements is a gamble.

Terrible app. Might as well vpn into my home computer.

### 1/5 — It just doesn’t work

*2021-01-05, version 20.0.8*

Title says it all, nothing more to say. Just fix it.

### 1/5 — Garbage and crashes

*2020-11-05, version 20.0.8*

Completely useless on iOS 14 with the new iPhone it crashes as soon as it opens a proof. He always been very not use friendly

### 1/5 — No approval button!

*2020-07-22, version 20.0.0*

Proofs with long names push the “approve” button right off the screen, making the app almost useless!

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2020-06-23, version 20.0.0*

This app picks and chooses when it wants to work. One proof will open just fine and the next will require me to sign in and then not accept my credentials. It’s pointless to use this on anything other than on desktop.

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2020-02-02, version 19.1.3*

The app can’t stay open for more than just a few seconds. I use the Proof app by going through the main Workfront app, and as soon as it opens the Proof app, it starts to glitch out and then crash after just a few seconds. It used to work just fine for me; then they released an update that just made everything awful.

### 1/5 — Crashes with 5 seconds of opening

*2019-11-22, version 19.1.2*

Would love to be able to use this tool but unfortunately it crashes upon opening even a single page document.

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2019-09-30, version 19.1.2*

I can’t even speak to the experience of using the app because it crashes every single time I try to open a proof. So useless. Absolutely insane that the only way to review proofs is on a computer because this app doesn’t work and it won’t allow you to review on a mobile browser.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2019-09-29, version 19.1.2*

Proofs of a certain size crash the app and make it useless.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even let you login

*2019-09-04, version 19.1.2*

This app doesn’t work and doesn’t let you login.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-14, version 19.1.2*

Useless app, not sure why it’s even listed as an app to use. Does not work at all.

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2019-07-22, version 19.1.2*

Unusable, which is a shame.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly and crashes a ton

*2019-07-03, version 19.1.1*

Even after installing the update, it continues to crash every time I try to view a proof. Never mind the terrible User experience. If you click on view proof in WF, it prompts you to open WF Proof but then doesn’t take you to the doc you were trying to view. You have to navigate around to find it. And to view the proof, which seems to be the point of the app, you have to click on three dots for the command. Took me a while to figure that out the first time I used the app. It should be so hard to view a proof.

### 1/5 — Less than one star

*2019-06-27, version 19.1.1*

It won't work, tells me to download the app which I have even deleted and reinstalled, tells me my email is invalid, my password is invalid and then refers me to the app store. It's a worthless app.

### 2/5 — Won’t display properly

*2019-05-30, version 18.4*

This app use to work.  Now it won’t load proofs properly and only let me see a small portion of the actual file.  
So much for being “mobile”, have to go back to use the desktop/laptop to reveiw proofs.

### 1/5 — Total Joke

*2019-05-16, version 18.4*

Pathetic app! I can’t even see my proof on my iPhone. Why even have a mobile app? Just shut it down it doesn’t work. I open my proof and all I see is a blank screen. Been this way for months since last year 

👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-01-02, version 18.2.0*

Crashes, links don’t work, says it doesn’t recognize my email address. Useless.

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2018-12-11, version 18.2.0*

I never get sound for any videos that have sound on desktop. It forces you to use the app so can’t view it on the web app which is very annoying considering the app isn’t working. JUST BAD

### 1/5 — I hoped for better from Adobe

*2023-09-29*

It crashes a lot. Navigation isn’t intuitive. It asks me to sign in randomly. I can’t recommend this to my clients so I tell them to just review on desktop. 

Other proofing systems have a better mobile web experience than this dedicated mobile app provides.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-03-22*

Have given it many chances but it has disappointed every single time. Terrible UI. Regularly unresponsive. Adobe should consider deleting this app. It’s not to their standards.

### 1/5 — Edits not working, screen keeps moving

*2022-10-12, version 20.1.2*

As I try and highlight/drag a box around an area of the doc that needs editing the whole document slides, so how can I box in the content with a slide of my finger….also when I turn my phone to landscape the edit disappears. If I start in landscape, it won’t even let me click the tools to edit. 5 mins in im over it!

### 1/5 — Skip it

*2022-10-11, version 20.1.2*

The functioning on this app is so bad that you’re better off not even downloading it. Buttons don’t not work, you can’t look at a proof side by side with a previous version, you cannot see comments. You basically can’t do any of the normal functions of PHQ. 

Deleting now. It’s a waste of space.

### 1/5 — Ugh

*2022-09-27, version 20.1.2*

I can’t even get a video proof to load, and yes, I am connected to the internet. Good luck getting users at my company to adopt.

### 1/5 — Cant log in

*2022-02-02, version 20.1.0*

Cannot login

### 1/5 — crashes every time

*2022-01-27, version 20.1.0*

the app crashes every time it is used

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all

*2021-12-11, version 20.1.0*

Crashes on opening. Uninstalled and reinstalled, still crashes. Been like this for quite a while

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-12-10, version 20.1.0*

It crashes before it even gets fully open. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Just crashing all the time

*2021-09-23, version 20.1.0*

Crashes, useless on iOS

### 5/5 — Thank you — update

*2018-04-22, version 18.1.1*

Thank you for the most recent update, everything is working again for me :)

### 5/5 — A great proofing experience on the Go!

*2016-07-20, version 16.3.0*

We love ProofHq in our organization and having the ability to proof on the go has been very useful to us because most of our decision makers are traveling all the time! Highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Proofing on the go

*2016-04-24, version 16.1.0*

It's never been easier to manage your proofs + approvals on the go. Nice job Workfront team!

### 5/5 — This makes my life so much easier!

*2016-04-24, version 16.1.0*

Big win for me. I can comment on marketing material while I'm traveling.

### 5/5 — Communications Manager

*2016-04-20, version 16.1.0*

A great way to provide comments on work! Love the ability to proof video too!

### 5/5 — Can't live without this app!

*2016-04-20, version 16.1.0*

Proofhq has made my job easier in so many ways. As a content marketer, I honestly can't live without it. Now having it on my phone makes it even better. Love the app.

### 5/5 — Review and Approve on the go? Yes please!!!!

*2016-04-20, version 16.1.0*

What an amazing app! I can now review and approve creative work on the go! No more opening attachments from emails or dragging around piles of hard copy proofs when I am traveling from meeting to meeting. Highly recommended and so easy to use!!!!

### 5/5 — Fast approvals

*2016-04-20, version 16.1.0*

This makes the review process so much better! I'm getting much quicker turnaround times on my approvals.

### 3/5 — Big Miss on Converting Over from ProofHQ

*2017-12-06, version 17.14.2*

I think you guys missed big when moving from the ProofHQ app version. Not getting any notification that you were killing off the app to launch your “Workfront” version made me believe that the original had yet to be updated to work with the latest IOS. Not sure why you think that this gradual merge, shift, implementation of your acquisition needs to be almost subliminal rather than taking the opportunity to clearly keep your “paying” customers informed of the comprando product we are essentially supporting. There are other proofing tools available, I’d be careful not to lose market share due to irresponsible PR miscommunication.

### 2/5 — Prone to frequent crashes

*2019-12-12, version 19.1.2*

The app has a lot of potential, however it crashes frequently and navigation is dismal compared to the desktop app.
