User Reviews

Users generally praise the app for being easy to use, stable, and efficient for viewing and annotating PDFs, with strong multi-document support and a solid free plan. However, repeated issues include crashes and freezes, especially with large PDFs or after OS updates; high memory use and choppy scrolling; incomplete sharing/export features (export/sharing and OneDrive syncing); annotation problems such as deleted highlights and Apple Pencil mode regressions; and several requested UI enhancements like a left sidebar for TOC/thumbnails and better cross-platform parity. Overall: solid tool marred by reliability and feature gaps.
Pros
  • Easy to use and generally smooth/stable for everyday viewing and annotation
  • Can open and work with multiple PDFs at once with a clean, top-toolbar UI
  • Strong free plan with robust annotation features and good value
  • Helpful for studying and writing on PDFs across subjects
  • Reliable day-to-day performance for many users
Cons
  • Crashes and freezes, especially with large PDFs or after OS updates, impacting usability
  • High memory usage and choppy scrolling; limited zoom and page resizing options
  • Incomplete sharing/export features (no straightforward forwarding; OneDrive syncing issues)
  • Annotation regressions (highlights/annotations can be deleted; Apple Pencil text selection issues; tool grouping makes switching tedious)
  • UI/UX gaps and parity concerns (missing left sidebar for TOC/thumbnails; some platform parity issues like MacOS smart zoom)

I rated the app 3 stars because it does it’s job but isn’t satisfactory. But I like 👍 the app

For most documents it works well it serves as a much better replacement for the files app considering larger files can be opened and edited easily. Unfortunately sometimes it fails at making outlines for documents and I have recently had problems where my bookmarks and annotations haven’t saved. This problem started maybe 3 weeks ago for me. I downloaded several new pdfs and some of my annotations have saved on one of the pdfs but none of the bookmarks. Last year it worked fine with editing a 90 MB textbook, but it is failing with a pdf file of a size less than 20 MB now.
