User Reviews

Users report PDF Hero frequently glitches: edits lag, text jumps, and documents crash or disappear. Core editing/export features often fail, preventing saving, converting, or sharing edited PDFs. Billing is a major pain point: customers encounter a free trial that leads to automatic charges, difficulty canceling, and unclear unsubscribe paths. Several reviews accuse the app of advertising free functionality when payment is required. Some users fear data loss after edits or reinstall. A few users previously had a good experience, but current performance issues and support gaps dominate the feedback.

Pros

Some users found it helpful and easy to use for PDF editing when the app functioned.
Includes PDF editing and annotation features (highlights, notes).
Historically used by some users and thus perceived value for those who need basic edits on iPad.

Cons

Frequent glitches, lag, and crashes that disrupt editing.
Editing/export functions often fail to save, render incorrectly, or cannot be downloaded/share.
Billing issues: free trials lead to automatic charges and hard/unclear cancellation.
Perceived false advertising about free features and paywalls.
Data loss or erasure risk after edits or reinstall; support access is poor.

This was such a good app when I got it a year ago; as a college student it allowed me to mark up practice exams, worksheets, and anything else I might need to do with PDF for free. Now, everything is blocked behind a paywall, and it’s just simply sad to see such a good app stoop to such a low level due to pure greed. You people are sad and shouldn’t be forcing people into subscribing especially when using the app sparingly.

I pay for this every month, use it a lot! Once in a while a PDF i am working on locks up and will not. Allow me to email or even print! This is the only customer support I can find! Very frustrating !!

The support link goes to the parent company which doesn't list PDF Hero. Clicking on 'support not listed' is a link to the first page where PDF Hero isn't listed.
