Every 1-2★ review we fetched. Use the copy button to grab them all for your own analysis (paste into ChatGPT/Claude with a prompt like "summarize core user problems, group by theme, ignore bugs, focus on missing features").
Much too expensive if one only needs it infrequently and cannot cancel easily as advertised, so one gets stuck with a high monthly bill one can only cancel through one's bank cc acct.
Still has ads at the bottom. Forces me to wade through ads before I can even log in.
doesn't work
Just a constant ad to subscribe subscribe subscribe with no other option. I really hope the subscription model dies soon.
I paid $20 for this and it has ads!
"It's very irritating; every time I try to highlight something, it moves downwards."
could not get past the gaming ads
Scan function in the app is useless as it is completely blurr even on S24 Ultra. App has annoying ads and promotions even after buying a license. Other PDF apps offer better function for multiple devices under one license (which they have realized now).
5 non skippable ads before I could open and read a PDF. Immediate uninstall
guys, I can't even log into my account without extreme interrupting from your add. you lost my business forever.
Worst update ever. Removed zooming from double finger after annotation is written. Re-enable it.
It's awful..u can't open any files with it...they are always corrupted
Can not open pdf file
Need more version
Loaded with deceiving adds.
App suddenly stopped working about two weeks ago. Won't open files that other readers are opening. Reached out to support didn't work. Please help me. Your reader is my favorite and I can't imagine moving to a new app. Please. The files open with other readers but return an error when I usre PDF Reader Pro. Please help me.
Paid, but still receiving ads
This forced rating must be stopped...UPDATE: the apps which try to direct us to give 5stars receive 1star from me!! If we want we will give rating! This forcing from developers MUST BE STOPPED!
Unable to update
The service is poor I am trying to download apps but it keeps on pending like forever I do not recommend it for use
Worthless yet very expensive
Video add is problem
Don't do subscriptions - pay for the same piece every month, I don't think so
Nothing special. Just like other pdf readers who ask subscription for editing
Paid
The advertisements is preventing my documents to open. DO NOT USE THIS APP!!!!
paid for it but still locked, tried to recovery but says fail
Not free editing
privacy concerned
I'm unable to activate my lifetime subscription for this app in new devices.
Works, but has a bad case of ad cancer
clunky app.... too much time f-ing around. never does get anything done. update me... to many minutes & appomplished....NOTHING!
Too much ad
I paid the $20 for premium but I'm still receiving ads and limited functionality.
Everything was perfect until this day, my annotations don't stay on the same place and scroll along when I scroll! Please help me out with this.
It's not free
