## Review summary

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)
