### 3/5 — Can not back up

### 2/5 — Difficult

*2023-01-24*

The Help files wouldn't appear. Some changes could not be undone resulting in fleeting your project and then starting over with whatever you had in mind. Their 60 second video found on their website was marked "private" and couldn't be played. The learning curve can be painful. If you want an app that is intuitive enough to use without reading a manual within 15 minutes of purchase you should think about avoiding this one.

### 5/5 — Great!

great!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-08-02*

This app works much better on iPad. I created a whole book for my students using the iPad app (using adobe also)

This app offers editing for pdf files. You can Sync with your email, so you can upload and send files. It also acts like publisher allowing you to create pdf  files.

For what is offers I think it’s excellent and one of the best apps available.

### 5/5 — Great pdf app

*2018-07-18*

So many things that can be done without just wish he did not cost  $4.99 to upgrade

### 5/5 — 试用了下，功能还蛮全面的。

*2018-02-22*

快速试用了下，感觉功能还是比较全面，但不确定是否可以长期免费使用。设置中有免费使用的倒计时日期，估计免费使用是有时间限制的。确定免费使用具体时间和免费使用到期后还能用的功能再来评论。

### 5/5 — Useful addition

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-07-11*

I download the free version to try before purchase and it wouldn’t let me use this version at all.  Went straight to the upgrade.  I won’t buy a product without testing it first to see if it performs the way it is stated it would.

### 1/5 — Shady. ..... unethical is more like it

*2018-05-16*

I bought AltaMail years ago; however, when transferring apps to a new phone,I ended up getting a light version that wanted me to upgrade to have more than one email address. 
Also purchased their pdf app. To do everything they claim, there is a 4.99 upgrade to “Pro” which is a surprise. Not mentioned until after you have made a 4.99 purchase. 
Since I have not had any solution to the mail problem and feel tricked on the pdf app, it is impossible to recommend EuroSmartz.

**Developer response:** Hi, There is only a single price for this app. It is free to install/try and then you can upgrade if you choose. Please contact our helpdesk staff so we can help you. http://esz.us/c

### 1/5 — Very shady how they "Upgrade You"

*2017-09-12*

I was using the free app which was a trial. When I tried to open a PDF from online it sent it to this app. My trail period was up. Instead of this app showing me how much the upgrade would cost it sent me through questions then told me I was upgraded. It was very shady how it upgraded me and took money out of my account and I still don't know how much it just cost me!  I'm trying to figure it out. Seriously, be up front with business practices. I probably would have purchased the app anyway but very shady how they sneak the in app purchase in you.

### 1/5 — Useless outdated app

*2017-05-23*

What an interface, welcome back to windows 95

Paid for it years ago based on promises, never found it useful after all and now can't even use as it requires a "pro" upgrade 

Joke of an app

Save space, time and money, look for something else..

### 1/5 — Schleeeeecht

*2017-05-01*

Einfach schlecht

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2016-11-16*

4,99€ in app Kauf. sonst geht gar nix

### 1/5 — Deleted all of my previous files

*2016-10-14, version 4.0*

With no warning, it deleted all of my previous files. Will not trust this company again!

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2016-05-25*

This worked great for me for a small amount of time, after the latest update it crashes everything, I've since lost all my PDFs I use for work.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2016-05-13, version 3.3.3*

Waste of free download. After that $4.99 for 18 days of use. What a rip off!!! Can't even try it for free once. Negative F.

### 1/5 — Deceiving

*2016-04-06, version 3.3.1*

This app crashes many times. It invites to send the error codes message to EuroSmartz, but no fixes so far. Other reported bugs are still there.
These EuroSmartz apps look great but are deceiving and poor in quality and service.
The PrintCentral app, with its in-app upgrade, installed in my iPad, is not much different than the PrintCentral Pro, except I had to pay a lot more for it, because I didn't know better. To make things even more confusing, EuroSmartz has another app that does not look much different, called WritePDF. This looks like a "catch your money" play game from EuroSmartz.
For my iPhone, I purchased PrintCentral Pro, which looks like having more frequent updates in the app-store, than the other apps. I purchased it for my iPhone, but I can't use it on my iPad.
Except for the printing on older non iPrint printers, and PDF conversions, these apps are deceiving because they look like having a nice folder/file storage structure, but their bugs and the danger of loosing important files are a hard reality.
The WritePDF app is always crashing, displaying errors that I have been reporting to EuroSmartz for a while, and, as of yet, no fix so far.
One of the bugs in the PrintCentral w/ upgrade app causes files in sub-folders level to be duplicated in the folders level, after exporting those folders with files to iCloud, to be imported to another app like WritePDF.
WARNING! Another annoying feature of these EuroSmartz apps is the lack of an UNDO function. If you want to delete a file or folder, you check it, and select the delete trash-can. If you are in a rush, it is very easy to skip the attention to the pop up message showing the number of files being deleted. At this point, if you previously selected a file or folder somewhere else in your big file list, and forgot to unselected that file that was scrolled beyond the visible limits of the screen, you end up loosing all that precious data with no chance to recover or undo. These apps should have an UNDO function (like most 21st Century apps do).
In some of these EuroSmartz apps, the PDF files show different widths, as compared with originals open in non EuroSmatz apps. These apps tend to crash when trying to open some of the files, or doing some special operations. There are also bugs when copying these files. Sometimes the result is a blank file.
The response emails from their support team show their response, but do not show your question message, so, if you sent more than one email, you may not know which question are they responding to.
