Review summary

Reviewers praise the app's strong feature set and price model, calling it one of the most capable one-time‑paid PDF editors with an easy interface and good support. However, recurrent complaints focus on confusing and costly monetization (credits, Pro upgrades, restore purchases and lifetime issues), a crowded UI that wastes screen space, and reliability problems like crashes or data loss and inconsistent results (e.g., image-to-PDF limitations and output fidelity). Taken together, users see high potential but worry about paywalls, stability, and UI usability, which undermines the app's value for frequent users.

Pros

Reasonable price and one-time payment to unlock Pro features
Rich feature set for PDF editing and conversion with many tools
Easy-to-use interface and intuitive workflow
Responsive support and good customer care
Reliable performance across iOS updates and long-term use

Cons

Complex, inconsistent monetization with Pro/credits and pay-per-task features
Restore purchases and lifetime upgrade issues causing confusion and frustration
Cluttered UI and poor use of screen space with crowded toolbars
Reliability problems like crashes or data loss and issues preserving original content
Image-to-PDF limitations and other export/processing gaps (e.g., can't process photos from library, fidelity issues)

2025-12-06	ka*****	I paid $9.99 for the Pro version and you can’t even convert a text file to pdf?? What’s the point of having the Pro version of ANY pdf app if you can’t even convert a file to pdf without paying MORE money for credits just to perform a single task! I searched the settings where one usually finds a 'restore purchase' link to restore the added features that were suppose to already be paid for with the upgrade to Pro. NOTHING there either! No matter what circus tricks it claims to perform, it will have its hand in your pocket for more cash every time you use it. So, beware, this app is a rip off! UPDATE: 12-6-25. Rating is now 2-stars. And that’s being very generous. Used to be 3-stars. I didn’t realize I had paid for Pro already. The new upgrade is supposedly "lifetime". Problems right away. The app reverts to the default EVERY TIME I add a new file! I HATE vertical scroll! So every time I work with a file, I have to change the setting to horizontal scroll. The tools take up 1/3 of the total screen space! Or at full size, they disappear completely, except for a text dropdown menu with a few choices, which are never what I want. All in all, the UI makes very poor use of its screen space. So, heavy users beware. All the features in the world mean very little if it’s a slog to use them. So much time is wasted tapping/clicking your brains out that you’re exhausted when you finally finish a task. Look at it this way folks: I wasted $14.00 so you don’t have to.

2025-11-22	Le*****	I’ve been using PDF EDITOR for ages… it does everything & anything I need plus hold & accesses external files allowing me to remember only one thing… it! Even the free version does more than other apps I’ve used through the years.

2025-08-08	Jo*****	There are more DPDF tools here than any other app I’ve used, or read about. Excellent PDF conversion options to keep me efficient in my PDF needs. There are some issues that are being worked on by the Devs, I’ve had excellent and prompt multiple replies on my issues. 1. I paid for the lower plan a long time ago now, I recently paid the one time $12.xx Pro plan for life. It may seem pricey, but I tell you, there are many capabilities in this one app that after using several others and those with subscriptions etc, this is a great investment. Please know that Apple delayed my processing of my payment, such that I thought something was wrong. That’s where I informed the team. They quickly replied. After reading their suggestions, it occurred to me to check my purchases. It said PENDING! I assumed that it may take a day or two for Apple to process. That became true. As soon as it accepted payment, I got the full features of Pro. 2. A major confusion is that when you pay for pro, they use another downloaded app for that level, but, it has the same icon, so it took me lots of frustrating steps and review to realize that two apps exist with identical icons. One needs to delete the “old” lower plan app. It will continue to show that you can pay for a Pro feature. And keep the newer one. The Dev are now evaluating what to do, given my explanation of confusion etc. If they make one app become the one and only app as one pays hope different plans, then I would rate it 5 stars.

2025-06-02	gn*****	The only reasonably priced full- featured PDF editor on the store. Not a big fan of the icons but that is preference and doesn’t detract from the features at all

2025-05-02	Na*****	UPDATED: Image captured (already existed in Photo library or in Files) in non aligned (i.e. 45 degree) angle is not possible to strengthen while using “Image to PDF” tool. Also available image Filters in this tool (“Image to PDF”) are not usable as document scanner. This APP’s document scanner is working fine, but like Apple built in free scanner, it cannot process images already existed in Photo library or in Files.

2025-02-11	Ga*****	Unlike Adobe, the creators of this app actually take care of their customers and provide an app at a reasonable price and one-time payment to unlock the PRO features. If you’re reading this, devs, thank you!
