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 have been using this app heavily for many months now. It become my goto for reading and annotating research papers. Feature request: a) Please add a setting to use the file name as the tab name. I just don’t understand why this is not the default. Some journals and sites transform the pdf, so the title embedded in the pdf may be meaningless, or the author used a nonsensical name like chapter. I can’t control that, but I can rename files to have meaningful names. When I have 10 tabs open and none of the tabs are named after the filename, I am unable to find or copy that file a second time easily from a directory containing hundreds of files. b) In the share/export dialog, the label has very low contrast and is difficult to see. c) When in dark mode, the highlight drawn with the brush is not visible. It shows only in light mode. d) Please add an option to open file in existing window as new tab when I open a file from the files app. e) Had to write this into a review because the in app/on website feed back option was not found. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work. I promise I’ll be back with the remaining star.

I greatly enjoy this App, I have been using for years now. The features are very useful, the App helps me navigate easily on documents, it can also be enhanced with color options in the “note” feature. I definitely recommend it, it’s one of the best out there when it comes to working with PDF documents
