always online trash
There are few things as vile as allowing customers to fill a 20-page PDF only to be unable to save it and hold it hostage unless you create an account and go through their upsells. P.S: What's so hard about telling the user up-front before they edit a 20-page PDF?
you have taken 30$ off my credit card without my permission I need those funds back on my card or I'm contacting a lawyer your not even in the Google play store subscription area which is a red flag I will give you 48 hours to put the funds back on my debit card I have only used you once and you can see that but I didn't agree to 30$ you need to also cancel as well because I don't see any subscription from PDF filer only a bank statement which is a red flag
I think i just got scammed?? I unsubscribed 2 years ago on 10th may and I'm still paying
such a scam app. you edit your pdf and they ask money to save it. extortion mechanism . stay away from this app. use pdfescape online on browser.
worst experience ever
Its a good app
this app sucks. it worked like a dream for filling out a form. I was so happy thinking I found a PDF. editor. then, when it came time to download and submit it, then they hit you with the subscription. it wouldn't bug me so much if they were up front about needing a subscription. but the pure frustration and disappointment I felt is something only God and your mom can understand.
worst app I ever downloaded.
Can't even save without paying $120 a year. What a joke. Adobe is far far far superior in every way
you need to have a plan to fill and save. not free.
Bad,poor,pathetic.Nowhere it states that you need to pay just to export.Bad.
Me descargué está aplicación solo para dejarles 1 estrella, son unos HDP, para usar la prueba gratuita me cargaron con plata a la cuenta y ahora no puedo anular la suscripción, NO USEN ESTA BASURA
Doesn't save your progress, forces you to create an account, and can't manage to check a single checkbox without checking an entire row. Can't even save your document without paying for a subscription, so it's not really "free". Genuinely impressive in how terrible it is.
very bad. doesn't save, always kicks out...it's just useless
Will not let you save your edited PDF without paying $119 a year. Nice waste of time.
I signed up for this app with a Free 30 day trial, canceled it in 2 weeks, and then they tried to charge me 96 dollars! DoNot use this app.
technical issues kept saying that would look connection and would have to reopen my document several times and not able to use for free if your looking for something that you can edit a document and save it wont let you save with out a subscription.
worst app.after filling form almost 90% over it shows "connection lost" and erase the data. next terrific thing is, after u finish ur form 100% it ask money to download your filled form.please don't download this
just absolutely poor... nothing can be done without paying..tf absolutely terrible
Overpriced subscription garbage.
This gadget is likely loading the "PARASITOSE", the parasites that my AntiSpy guardian defeated so far.bLosding in the interminable. Allez, du vent! in English, it's similar to "get lost"!
not free.
scam company, signed up for a month to use the app and they tried charging for the entire year thankfully there was a small limit to the card and couldn't steal my money. than continued to try and take it to the point of canceling the card. stay away from this terrible and fraudulent app.
I dont usually do ratings but this one pissed me off. After I was done editing they asked for 26 dollars minimum for the 1 month basic monthly plan just to download my edit lmao. This is a joke please do not use this application.
you can not export your documents unless you subscribe to their paid plan
Multiple actions and it accesses your entire Google account- sends you by links to websites to complete forms but they don't function either. Ensure access to your account is uninstalled from this vendor.
possibly the worst PDF editor I have used
does not let you sign or save . No point in it.
predatory subscription app. waits for u to fill out the form then tries to charge u disgusting amounts of money to save ur file.
I am so disappointed with this app. I subscribed for a month in January and I cancelled my subscription immediately. I received a debit of $144 on my card for a year subscription. This app is a scam and I want a refund for my money because the app is so useless for me
doesn't allow u to download your edited documents unless you pay an extravagant fee.
need to pay even if it trail
bad i was just charged 63 bucks and I. have no subscription
Are you guys mad! Why was my money deducted from my account when I haven't even made a subscription at all? I wasn't prepare to do any not will I ever do, yety money was deducted! I want a refund immediately!
" you cannot upload documents more than 25mb " are you serious??????
When you're 90% through filling a form, it "loses connection" and erases everything you filled out. multiple times. EDIT AFTER RESPONSE: It IS you! Your app should not need constant internet connection for me to continue editing the PDF that is on local storage on my device. Your app is poorly designed, and it provides a terrible user experience, so it is worthless. 0/5 stars.
REQUIRES ACCOUNT And they don't tell you when you start, only after you've made your edits and go to save or export. It would be slightly less trashy if they asked up front, but nope, full-on garbage.
Utterly useless
This is a SCAM! They bill you contiand claim they have no idea what you're talking about, despite sending proof you've been billed. A month later, you're billed again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP!
worst app
Not a seamless experience. Not able to edit or save unless registered. Need a password for signing. So I tried the free PDF filler and it keeps saying that it lost the internet connection before I finished one form. Too bad.
