## Review summary

User reviews show a pattern of instability and poor usability: crashes when opening PDFs, difficulty loading and managing files, unreliable annotation features, and inconsistent cloud integration. The UI diverges from typical Apple conventions, contributing to a frustrating experience. A minority note some basic organization/sharing and cloud compatibility, but negatives dominate the overall sentiment.

### Pros

- Documents can be organized, shared, and emailed with ease.
- Cloud storage/backup support is available (Google Drive, SugarSync) for PDF access and backup.
- Some users reported the app previously offered useful PDF access and reference organization.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes when opening PDFs and overall failures to load or open documents.
- Annotation and markup tools are confusing or unreliable (highlights cover text, color issues, eraser/size quirks).
- Poor UX/UI and non-standard interactions hinder usability (non-Apple conventions, slow loading, clunky workflow).
- Inability to move, delete, or reorganize files; drag-and-drop and folder operations often fail.
- Cloud storage integration is unreliable (Dropbox and other providers) with errors loading info and incomplete setup.
