Users appreciate that this PDF Reader app is free and can open some difficult PDF files. However, the main complaints repeatedly mention too many ads—including ads shown to paid users—and poor customer support for these issues. Navigation is clumsy, with scrolling problems, inability to click links inside PDFs, and poor file management features. Additionally, users report unsolicited notifications and difficulties opening files from emails. Overall, the ads and usability problems overshadow the app's benefits for many users.
Pros
- The app is free to use.
- Some users find it useful for opening PDF files that other apps fail to open.
- It allows reading PDF documents for practical needs without a mandatory subscription.
Cons
- Excessive and intrusive advertisements, including ads every time the app is opened even for paid users.
- Paid version does not remove ads as expected, causing frustration and lack of customer support.
- Poor user interface and navigation issues: pages do not fit well, scrolling is problematic, links within PDFs cannot be clicked, and there is inability to delete or organize multiple PDFs efficiently.
- Frequent annoying notifications and popups that disturb the user experience.
- Issues with opening files directly from email or handling files with duplicate names, requiring manual saving first.

| 2023-06-13 |  | | Way Too many adds and it doesn't read page to page all the pages never fit completely in the format. I will stick with adobe app |
| 2023-04-08 |  | | I have paid for this app but I still have to watch the ads every time I open it. What the hell did I pay for? I've sent several requests to the company asking for help to remove the ads but so far nobody has responded and I still have to watch the video game advertising every time I open or use this PDF reader pro app! |
| 2023-04-07 |  | | I like the PDF file alot, I just wish there was a place to create folders on my phone for it. I hate all the ads!!! I can see one when you first open the file, but not on every one of them. |
| 2023-03-17 |  | | 01/04/2021 I paid for the service & when I got the new phone I loaded the service on the phone but even though it says it's the pro version & the ads are crossed out I am still getting the ads. I can't find any way to stop the ads. ★Useless app! 03/17/2023 I have already paid for the app years ago & it even says I have paid for the app but I still have to watch the stupid advertising each time I open the app & There's no customer support to fix the issue I'm having! ★Don't pay/buy this App!!! |
| 2023-01-07 |  | | To be able to read my patterns, I have to make the print larger. To go to the next page, I have to make the page it's original size to get to the next page. It's clumsy. I can use Samsung's PDF and don't have this problem. I just don't like Samsung. |
| 2022-11-19 |  | | I must use a PDF reader to download my information before I print anything. Will rarely use this, as a Senior but very practical. I don't need to sign up for a $$ plan. |
| 2022-11-14 |  | | I'm sorry but most of these apps just don't work. I also failed to see the reason to download an app for something that should be built into your bloody phone to begin with. What can be so hard about your device reading and translating a PDF file. |
| 2022-10-01 |  | | It won't open a file without showing you an ad. It won't open files attached to the emails if a file with a same name already exists. It won't open a file without saving to somewhere in your phone first... The list of annoying features goes on and on and on |
| 2022-08-25 |  | | Very hard to use. You cant even get through a large document and then you cant click on links in the pdf. Allow me to pay a fee and stop having the ads stop progress through a document. Ads run this st the expense of everything else. |
| 2022-08-22 |  | | None of the pdfs sports in chronological order. There's no way to delete more than one pdf at a time. Not only that it doesn't download PDFs when you want them. Ridiculous and hopeless app. |
