HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (8.7 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription29%

50 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Cannot open file This app is a paid scam
★★★★★ Can't opened the pdf files, it's a scam.
★★★★★ My recommendation, spend the money and buy a more developed and supported app if you truly need to edit and create PDFs on you iPad.
Crashes and freezes22%

38 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Add in the bugs (encountered multiple within the first 5 minutes of usage, including a consistent crash that renders doc scanning completely broken) and this app is just a jarring experience.
★★★★★ App crashes whenever trying to open a PDF.
★★★★★ Bought it, then wasted time trying, with no success, to open any PDF whatsoever with it. Go to files, click a PDF, and then open with PDF reader pro? Ha! Nothing. Think you can click on anything in the app to navigate…

★★★★★ The last update was 7 years ago.
★★★★★ Update: doesn't work anymore.
No customer support12%

20 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Waste of money. Can't even insert typing word edits.
Lost data, sync, backup9%

15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Although this application does work with sugar sync and other back up online storage providers, it fails to flawlessly integrate with Apple iCloud like the Preview App for Mac computers.
★★★★★ I have deleted the app and will request money back.
★★★★★ Or when I ask to overwrite it closes when I reopen everything I deleted is still there.
Missing features5%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The lack of typical Apple ecosystem UX conventions (swipe to delete, press and hold for context menu, etc) is off-putting.
★★★★★ Many other features missing.
★★★★★ No way to combine pages into a new pdf, etc.

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Easy to use22%

66 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ This just works, docs are easy to organize, share, email etc.
★★★★★ Being from the Land of Luddites, I find it easy and intuitive when using it to review and markup documents I have been reading.
★★★★★ Great markup tools, easy functionality and very rare glitchiness despite my heavy usage.
Useful, it helps9%

26 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I do a lot of research and being able to add side notes and sketches on blank pages would be very helpful.
★★★★★ This is a good app for working on PDF files, but all it need is a way to sign your documents when done. That will make it a great app with some little glitches that need to be worked out, like when you make the page…
★★★★★ that's just amazing) that why I decided to finally write a well deserved review to this app, not only because it works and it's great but because their support team was really really helpful and that's something you…
Accurate, great results9%

26 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It works perfectly every time.
★★★★★ Keeps handy the things I want accessible ... could be smoother, but that may be that I haven't put the time into learning all the ins & outs
★★★★★ And it helps out where GoodReader has let me down with its iOS 11 glitch.
Worth the money4%

12 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ (I'm also a minister officiating weddings occasionally and a hands-free page turner would also be beneficial in my role as such.) Bottom line, we love the app!
★★★★★ This is one of the apps we use at work every day and so far it's been problems free, it has a lot of useful features, if you are a hardcore business user a highly recommend PDF Reader Pro Edition!
★★★★★ It would be near-perfect if it could write smaller free-hand notes but the smallest 'pencil' size is too thick.
Fast3%

10 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Easy and quick PDF creation app.
★★★★★ It's fast and offers a lot of ways to load PDFs (email, iTunes, Dropbox, Safari, etc).
★★★★★ But I have a massive library, that's easy to organize, and there are never any bugs in the app, and it's very fast!

How to turn page as book style

It could turn page as kindle book style right to left. The new update without this function. I use it about five years, and without this function, I’ll remove this app.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
Features missing (+Request)

Thank you for working to revive this beautiful application. That said, there are some missing features and bugs that still need attention: - The two-page view is missing. - Many stamp items are also missing. - Note bubbles cannot be easily removed or deleted (bug). Feature requests: Please add engineering tools and markers, and more.

★★★★★Jul 20, 2026

Buggy, Non-Intuitive UX

The lack of typical Apple ecosystem UX conventions (swipe to delete, press and hold for context menu, etc) is off-putting. Add in the bugs (encountered multiple within the first 5 minutes of usage, including a consistent crash that renders doc scanning completely broken) and this app is just a jarring experience. I want a refund.

No response from support

I purchased the software for the automatic scroll feature. I haven’t been able to figure out how to turn on the auto scroll. I sent support an email asking how. It’s been a week and no response.
