★★★★ Lila Shimeles 5/8/2026 v26.4.1.44660
Free version has barely any functions. Almost everything behind a pay wall and not even the rotate function worked properly.

★★★★ Marcie R. 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44660
I had an invoice sent to me via email that I tried downloading, it appears to have downloaded but it says the file can't be opened it's corrupted. It shows it's 2 bytes. I want it off my phone but the delete option isn't showing on the menu for this file, all the other options show except delete. My other pdf files show the delete option. How do I get this Adobe pdf corrupted file off of my device? *VK I sent a message with the details to the email.

★★★★ Tim Christopher 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44660
Tried to edit a pdf. Ended up signing up for a subscription to save the document but it still didn't work. Complete waste of time.
★★★★ Martin Buseth 5/7/2026
have to have a credit card
★★★★ Rebecca Jones 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44656
The Adobe company has continued to bill me after I cancelled and refuses to let me cancel my subscription again to get it off my card until I pay for all the months they've falsley had me on. I just want it off. I don't even use it. I just wish I had never tried it.
★★★★ Keith Patterson 5/6/2026
must purchase a subscription to do anything. looks and feels good, but I'm not one to give card information just to try an app. then it's usually a hassle to cancel the trial. sorry these companies are really loosing out for this.
★★★★★ Joshua Hocker (Sketch61762) 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44660
The voices on the mobile version are not the same voices that are on the web version. it really makes a big difference. re: I like the Emma voice because it sounds the most fluid. The depth of pitch and clean intonation are very appreciated. Some words it will just ignore and skip over. It really needs a lot of work with context pronunciation and playback downloading so that way I download it once and then listen to the rest of it. I don't mind it taking up space and then deleting it for files.
★★★★★ Mario Marijan Anić 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44660
Not so user-friendly, sharing, saving, etc...
★★★★★ Lacye A Brown (Dr. Apples' Assistant) 5/7/2026 v26.4.1.44660
STOP with the popups. Sometimes, people just want the product (open pdf). You can't force me into wanting or using a new feature.
★★★★★ Mukesh YDV 5/7/2026 v26.4.0.44605
good
