Great find! Better than Adobe

Stumbled upon the app through google/iMore. Great execution and functionality in the free mode. I like it much better than Adobe’s.
Would be great if you can add an object eraser so I can erase a whole like rather than by pixel. Also, would love full trackpad support i.e. a cursor for easy selection of text.
Keep up the great work!

Continue to get errors

I’d love to upgrade and use this app the way it’s intended, but after trying the basic versions and experiencing the continuous errors that force me to restart iPad or reinstall app, I’m not wishing to buy. It’s a shame.

Much better than Onedrive.

Has many more features than Onedrive does for annotation. Awesome!

Excellent App with all the frills

I checked this out after reading about it in the December Techlife magazine. Accessed only the trial version and that itself it can do all that I did with the usual adobe acrobat. The main difference was it’s simplicity compared to the adobe. I am sure to buy the pro version. Great

Another subscription app?

So this has become yet another app requiring a subscription to access features.
At least app developers like Readdle require only a one-off purchase.

FRUSTRATING

After upgrading to pro edition I thought I would easily unlock the tools necessary to simply edit text on existing documents.
I don't mean highlight, colour, draw over existing words/images - I mean change embedded letters, words & numbers.
Sadly almost 1 hour invested in the Pro version and bupkis.
What's most infuriating however is a 'contact us page' which is preloaded with questions and answers instead of creating a really easy pathway for users to make contact with support - either via chat, email, SM or old fashion phone support.
I hope I'm wrong but if I can't resolve I'll ask Apple for a refund

Love this app

Does all the basic markups and more that I need for an interior design purpose whilst I’m on site. Can draw onto a photo or freehand for rough floor plan/elevation. Can write on a PDF or insert a photo into it. Easily email documents to my client onsite.
Only improvement I can think of is if you could lock a document so you can’t save markups over it that would be even greater. Thanks!!!

Easy to use and versatile!

With the flexible highlighting tool, I can highlight texts that are not recognised otherwise by the more rigid highlighting tool of Adobe Acrobat PDF reader, for example on traditionally-scanned texts.
It is also pretty cool that you can tap and select a part of the text and choose highlighting or underlining effects! The text recognition of PDF viewer is better than that of Adobe’s :)
Great job so far!

Pair with Dropbox

PDF viewer, paired with Dropbox, is a revelation on the iPad Pro. For the first time, i feel as though the software has caught up hardware for document annotation and management. 5 stars

Mostly good, better than others

Have been using this app for a few months now and overall I like it (I was using another one but changed to this one and like it better). Couple of things though - 1. I wish the eraser size could be changed like the pen size as the standard size is just too big sometimes. 2. I use a good quality stylus but sometimes the pen line isn’t accurate or part of the line disappears.

Wow, best PDF reader on the App Store

This is easily the best PDF reader on the App Store. The interface is BEAUTIFUL and very slick. The app is super fast and very very smooth - no glitches, no lags, no bugs. You can annotate PDF documents with writing/drawing tools. You can open files on iCloud Drive, OneDrive and other online services from within the app itself. Tabbing allows you to switch between multiple open documents with ease. Also extremely easy to use. And it's free. I am very impressed.

Easy to use PDF viewer now has iCloud Drive support

This app's simplicity is its appeal. And the developers are really active to give the best experience for the user. Great go-to for PDF viewing when Apple PDF viewing isn't enough.

Not Bad

Definitely well made, but some design choices are quite conflicted. Layout of the app is crisp but is let down by the questionably dated style of annotations and symbols for things like adding a note.
