Worst one
Never wrote a review before but you should be proud that this is my first one. I gotta pay to save files, cant get more stupid

Scammy
Its 9.99 a week. Unless you unsubscribe and when they ask for reason of cancellation you click the “too expensive” option. Then they will give it to you for 4.99 a week. Which isnt exactly a scam, but it is pretty scammy. The app itself didnt actually get any use so I cant rate it beyond simply getting to know them and their business practice.
Edit: I should have read the reviews first. These guys are totally incompetent.

Don’t waist your time
This app screwed over lay outs, wouldn’t let me erase what I wanted to and put what I wanted to in the same font and size.. I do not recommend this app
Hard to cancel
Please cancel my subscription. It says I need I need to go through your Apple App Store? I did go through the app to cancel and it’s telling me I need to do that?
Terribly placed tools, unusable
The toolbar blocks part of the pdf you are using so you can’t edit text at the top of the page. There’s no horizontal view. The app is pretty much unusable without paying.
Why is everything needing a purchase
So many ads an purchases. 1 star. Not recommended.
This app isn’t good it isn’t even usable it’s useless.
.
Payment
Had got charged a payment I didn’t approve of
Worst software ever touched
Worst pdf editor I've ever used. Tools work in the least convenient way possible, after saving my edit halfway through it randomly deleted characters on each text edit. After that it would crash anytime I tried to save my progress. No auto save feature either. Font size on a SLIDER that you can't just type a number into, have fun fat fingering each size for each text box because changing your default size doesn't work. I was doing paperwork related to my car crash and honestly I preferred the experience of crashing my car to using this app, not to mention they expect you to pay a lot for it, when it fails to meet standards of even free alternatives.
Another scam app
$9.99 a week for the honor of being able to edit documents? This is 2026. Word processors cost less in the 1990’s. It is like going back to when you had to pay for each text message you send.
Keeps charging my card after canceling
It keeps charging me even though I canceled the subscription before the renewal date.
Sucks
This app suck , don’t not download it
I wish I had the capability to sue devs like you
Pdf “EDITOR” app.
It costs to edit.
Genius. Im sure you’re making thousands from this.

Double payments being taken weekly
I forgot I downloaded this app. Looking through the transactions I found double payments being taken out.
Scammers
I downloaded this app to sign a pdf that was sent to me. I used the app once with no intentions of using again therefore I never signed up for a subscription. I randomly kept seeing my card trying to be charged for $10.61 here and there from apple. I’ve had money sent to my cashapp on numerous occasions recently with no problem. Well today someone sent me $20 and when I checked my account it said only $9 dollars was there. I begin to check my transactions confused as to where the rest of my money was. I seen there was a pending transaction from apple for $10.61. I go to apple.com to see what was the transaction to see this apple had started me for a 9.99 a WEEK subscribtion. Which I know I didn’t do and I know for sure because if i was going to choose a subscription it would’ve been for the cheapest one they had for $4 since this apple was only a one time use. Yall out here trying to take peoples money ts lame. When I tried to message someone on the live chat of the app they told me they’ll be back later and never switched the chat from the bot to the live representative.
Horrible
It took me 35mins to get 95% of my document completed for the app to then freeze and close out on me, not even saving any of my work. This was time sensitive so I am highly dissatisfied.
Awful, paywalled trash
Any time you try to edit, they make you buy a subscription. Unusable trash. Immediately deleted it.
Side note, the developers bought the 5 star reviews. The only real reviews are 1* saying they will charge you even if you cancel before the “free trial” is over. Have some shame you pathetic devs, disgusting.

Thieves
This app stole money off a card on my phone days after I cancelled the subscription I keep trying to talk to one of their agents and one never shows up.
Waste of time
Completely useless stay away from it.
Horrible
Any edits completely breaks the formatting of the document it’s bad software just needed to fix a single spelling mistake and couldn’t even do that
Charged after canceling
Use this to update my resume canceled two weeks ago and I’ve still been getting charged weekly although subscription is listed as expired in Apple
Thieves
I tried this app one time with its free trial it wouldn’t do what I needed so I cancelled the subscription before the free trial ended. I got charged 9.99 a week later anyway and apple refused to give a refund. Don’t get it.
Don’t download
This is not a good app and it doesn’t work
Doesn’t even work
Couldn’t even simply

Absolutely garbage!
Garbage program! Works not as expected!
Trash
Trash don’t download
UI
No clue what I was doing, tried to save the PDF couldn’t find a single save button or anything of the sort, tried sharing it and it just sent the blank file. Feels like I wasted my time and got my hopes up. Could I have figured things out if I looked into this more? Maybe-but I just wanted something quick and simple. Ads are a tad bit annoying but my mood was already negative, that stuff aside, it was decent with the text placement, although I had to occasionally tap on already typed out text to get the next row to want to get typed on. Over all I’m displeased.
Stupidly expensive and buggy
9.99 a week for a PDF editor that crashes prohibitively often and constantly pushes a feedback popup over the interface. Shamefully bad.
Too bad
I try to modify a pdf - impossible. Error error error. You cant open anything.
don’t use, it’s costs money to even edit
why even bother making the app free when they’re gonna charge you for trying to use its main function
Mala reseña
Esta app te roba dinero, se supone que es una semana gratis de prueba, use dos dias de prueba gratis y luego cancele la suscripción y aun asi han pasado dos meses y me ha seguido cobrando y generando problemas en app store
😤
Why isn’t it free 😤
stupid cash grab
makes you sign up to use any feature of the app and pay $40
PDF is a scam
Why charge for something halfway work
so bad don’t get
glitches and does the opposite of what you want it to do, don’t bother
I don’t like it
I want to cancel my subscription. Do I need to delete my account to do this? Or something else? I don’t want to pay for this app, which my next step?
Review
Reliable
It’s my first time using pdf and so far I’m not disappointed

Cost for tools
I am a student and was trying to use this app too edit school work. The second I downloaded the app it made me pay to use the “edit” “sign” and “Annotate” feature. It is just $ 0.99 for a week and then $ 9.99 a week. It is relatively cheap for the first week but could start racking up money if you forget about the subscription. I did find this really annoying because it is making me pay for the only features I downloaded the app for. I deleted the app and looked for a free one so I cannot speak for the quality of the app.
