PDF Reader Pro for Document helps you finish real PDF work on iPhone: read a report before a meeting, mark up a contract, turn a PDF into an Office file, or send just the pages someone needs. Read PDFs in a clean mobile viewer built for everyday documents: business reports, agreements, class notes, research papers, proposals, receipts, and more. Mark up what matters with highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, ink, shapes, and text notes. Select existing annotations to remove them, or update FreeText notes when your comments change. Convert PDFs to Word, Excel, PPT, or images when you need reusable files for work, school, or sharing. Encrypted PDFs are detected before conversion, so protected documents stay out of the conversion flow. Organize pages without going back to a desktop. Reorder pages, delete unwanted pages, merge documents, split files, or export only the pages you need. Free users can read and annotate PDFs, with limited conversion access. VIP unlocks full conversion plus advanced page tools. Download PDF Reader Pro for Document and make PDF work simpler on iPhone.

Fondly

Fondly turns a handful of ordinary photos into a beautiful, searchable memory you can revisit anytime. Build a private archive that feels calm, personal, and easy to return to. CREATE YOUR FIRST RECAP Choose 6–12 photos and Fondly creates a Recap from the moments you already have. Save it to Photos or share it using Apple’s native share sheet. FIND MEMORIES FASTER Organize your memories into personal Chapters. Search by keywords, dates, places, notes, and the content inside your photos—without endlessly scrolling through your entire library. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Fondly is designed for private, on-device memory keeping. Photo analysis, text recognition, search indexing, duplicate detection, Chapters, and Recaps are processed locally using Apple technologies. There is no public feed, no social network, and no Fondly account required. A CALMER WAY TO REMEMBER Add photos, videos, notes, links, and songs whenever you want to preserve more context. Echoes and monthly Recaps help you gently rediscover meaningful moments without turning your memories into a performance. OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION Fondly offers annual and monthly subscription plans. Eligible users may receive a 3-day free trial with the annual plan. Payment is charged to your Apple ID after purchase confirmation. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings. https://socialreporthq.com/fondly/terms
