ROVA brings every PDF tool you need into one beautifully simple app — scan, convert, merge, edit, sign, and secure documents without ever leaving your iPhone. Built entirely on Apple's own frameworks, ROVA does all of its work on-device. Nothing is uploaded to a server, so your files stay completely private. Whether you're turning a stack of receipts into a single PDF, signing a contract on the go, or shrinking a file to fit an email, ROVA handles it in seconds. EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO • Scan documents — Capture crisp, auto-cropped pages with your camera and save them straight to PDF. • Photos to PDF — Turn images from your library into a multi-page document, one photo per page. • View & import — Open PDFs from the Files app, other apps, or your recents library. • Merge — Combine multiple PDFs into one and drag to reorder before you save. • Organize pages — Reorder or delete pages, then save as a new document. • PDF to images — Export any page as an image to Photos or share it anywhere. • Compress — Re-encode pages at your chosen quality to dramatically shrink file size. • Annotate — Mark up pages with pen and highlighter, add draggable text notes, then flatten and save. • Sign — Draw your signature once, then drag and pinch-to-resize it anywhere on the page. • OCR — Recognize text in scans to build a searchable PDF, and copy text straight off the page. • Watermark — Stamp text across pages as a diagonal, tiled, or footer mark with custom color and opacity. • Protect — Lock any PDF with a password. • Unlock — Remove a password from a protected PDF you own. POWERFUL BATCH TOOLS Select multiple PDFs at once and act on them together: merge them into a single document, apply compression, watermarks, or password protection to each, or share, save, and delete in bulk. WORKS WITH FILES & ICLOUD ROVA's library lives right inside the Files app (On My iPhone → ROVA), so your documents are always within reach. Open PDFs into ROVA from any app using "Open in ROVA" or the share sheet, and send finished files back out to iCloud Drive or local storage anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ROVA runs completely offline. There are no accounts to create and no servers involved — every scan, signature, and edit happens on your device and stays there. Your documents are yours alone. Download ROVA and turn your iPhone into a complete PDF workshop.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BT Email at none against RovaPDF's 1. BT Email also leads on ads (none vs shown). RovaPDF's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
