## Review summary

Reviews show PDF Max is valued for organization and iOS integration, and for document review capabilities. However, crashes, data loss after updates, and a subscription-centric pricing model drive significant dissatisfaction. Additional frustration stems from restoring purchases and the removal/gating of features like merge. Overall, strong organization and compatibility are noted positives, but stability and pricing changes are the primary concerns.

### Pros

- Easy to save and organize PDFs on iPad/iPhone.
- Integrates well with iOS apps, making PDF access quick and convenient.
- Useful for reviewing plans and checking Building Codes.
- Longstanding app with extensive document storage and history of use.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes or instability when annotating, saving, or opening PDFs.
- Features locked behind subscription or pro plans, reducing value of one-time purchases.
- Data loss or inaccessible files after updates or crashes (lost work).
- Difficulties restoring prior in-app purchases and generally poor customer support.
- Removal or gating of key features (e.g., merge, form flattening, text reflow) or requiring extra fees after updates.
