Features & Capabilities

PDF Cabinet is the one app for PDF reading and annotation that avoids menu overload. It keeps the experience clean, fast, and focused on what you want to do: effortless annotation with an intuitive UI, smooth document skim via a thumbnails sidebar, and optimized performance for large PDFs. It also adds iPhone support for on-the-go use.

Share your work with others by sending annotated documents and letting readers see your marks. Real-time collaboration lets several people annotate the same document from different devices, and a dynamic annotation menu plus empty notebooks make quick notes and doodles easy. It supports multiple document formats and convenient options like attaching multiple files in a single email.

User Reviews

Overall, users praise PDF Cabinet for its simple, clean interface and strong organizing/annotating capabilities, plus its free-to-use model. However, repeated concerns revolve around reliability and data safety (crashes, missing pages, potential loss), inadequate backup/sync options (no robust cloud backup or migration paths), annotation tool limitations, and the absence of desktop support or cross-device syncing.

Pros

Simple, clean, user-friendly interface that’s easy to learn.
Strong PDF organizing and annotation features (notes and highlights) with a consolidated view of notes/highlights.
Free to use (no subscription) with ongoing updates.
Good performance on iPad (fast and smooth).

Cons

Reliability issues: freezing, crashes, blank pages, and occasional load failures.
Weak backup/sync options: no built-in cloud backup, difficult migration, and syncing not meeting expectations.
Annotation tool limitations: not intuitive and some controls (e.g., highlighter size) are limited.
Data loss risk: reports of losing hundreds of documents; concerns about file safety.
Lack of desktop/Mac support and cross-device syncing; wish for multi‑platform availability.

Recent reviews

This developer did a great job with creating such an incredible PDF reader, which in my opinion, is unparalleled with any I have seen. It looks natural and beautiful. Annual subscription would be worth it if only the developer was updating it to avoid frequent crashing. Because it crashes often leading to the lost of all stored files and requiring reinstatement, this product is not worth being in apple apps. It is frustrating. Either the developer is dead or just doesn’t care to help users. Too sad… I have to delete something that I paid money for—all because the developer is careless to update it.
