Honestly, it's not the best program; it has way too many ads, so I don't recommend it.

★★★★ Kimberly Reed 10/15/2025 v1.1.6
I NEVER INSTALLED IT!! IT CAME FROM PH MANUFACTURER WHEN I PURCHASED MY NEWEST CELL PH. APP NEVER WORKED, SO I DELETED IT & INSTALLED A DIFFERENT YEARS APPLICATION THAT DID WORK! Don't have it installed. So, I cannot give it a proper rating.
★★★★ Michael Leedham 9/24/2025 v1.1.8
I got an ad for this app (while I was using a separate app) which had a fake notification, saying "Final warning. The PDF version has expired:If you do not update in time, PDF may not opening. Click "OK" button below to update now." The "notification" was in the Apple/iPhone format, when I was using a Samsung device. This app is using ads to trick you into thinking your PDF is expiring, and getting you to download it in the guise of a misleading ad.

★★★★ Richard Goss 8/31/2025 v1.1.8
rubbish
★★★★ Ahmar Zahir 8/7/2025 v1.1.6
The app takes some time to open and after it opens, there are a lot of ads. After the ads finish, you have to go back and open the file again. Otherwise, the file does not open.
★★★★ Nigel Ricardo Jones 8/1/2025 v1.1.6
Reviews are public and include my account, and devices are not enough cos every time when l texted anything, it's very difficult, some easy or some harder.
★★★★ alan christie 6/26/2025

★★★★★ Cutie Thompson 6/26/2025 v1.1.5
