★★★★★ "As a free version, not usable anymore. PDF editing is now locked behind a pay wall. I found my comment from 2017 again. This means, they had been offered good and fair service for several years, until now. Went down the hill, unfortunately." - Johnny N.

Spamming your customers = bad taste This app is seriously messed up. It generates "0" size .pdf files on a random basis. You have to manually go in and delete them. This has been ongoing for years!! The support staff was advised on day ONE of this phenomenon!! They had there "team" working on it. Absolutely nothing has changed in this regard since then. Seriously wonder about their coding ability. P.S. You had your chance to fix BEFORE I gave up on you........

worst app ever
absurdly expensive... did not even test as the price is an insult.
worssssssst appppppppp ever developed lost all the annotation data which have been doing over the last 1 week gets stuck while working
I have used this app for many years, and nowadays it's not the same anymore. For every little thing now it demands you to pay for it. It used to be good, now it's time to look for a better competition and I'm sure there are plenty out there
A recent update requires payment for any useful features. this was a great app to edit files, but now you cannot access the files externally
Can't even share a file opened with this in the free version, so they are selling a feature all phones have out of the box :D
intrusive ads
Good app for me
Tell us it costs money BEFORE we download.
not an free app
This used to be the best all around PDF app. They destroyed it because of greed. It was a free app that could do anything and now they demand a ridiculously overpriced subscription! They don't allow you to pay it once and have it forever. That's the definition of greed. Meanwhile open source BentoPDF provides everything for free. What a shame... Xodo was destroyed because of greed...
Everything good that used to be free before are now paywalled, like annotation, addition of images, etc
It’s hard to rate a free app, but not being able to share a simple document-one that wasn’t even created or edited in the app-without a watermark feels a step too far. Especially when many other apps offer this for free. I have other options on my phone, but I don’t like having to switch to another viewer just to share a document without a watermark.
not good
There should be a 3 day free trial without signing up for a subscription you have to cancel. I dont know if this will do what I need it to because the attempt I made to test the pages were out of order and it immediately locked me out of a second attemp.
Used to be good but now it's useless and asks for a paid version even to share a file.
Used to be useful and five stars, but now it requires premium subs even for a basic saving a file action.
Why are timestamps only Euro style?? Why not have MM/DD/YYYY as an option? or slashes at all, which was interestingly not an option. And you can't shrink the date below like a 20px font
