## Review summary

Users praise Xodo for strong annotation and note-taking, especially on iPad, with Google Drive integration and overall economical functionality compared with other PDF apps. However, persistent issues dampen the experience: frequent crashes and freezes that can erase or fail to save notes, an expensive subscription model with constant upgrade prompts, and limited editing capabilities (inability to edit existing text and weak support for forms). Updates are also reported to introduce bugs or regressions. Some users also mention the lack of a Mac version or iCloud syncing.

### Pros

- Excellent annotation and note-taking capabilities.
- Very convenient on iPad with Google Drive integration.
- Economical and functional compared to other PDF apps.
- Better performance than some competitors (e.g., Acrobat).

### Cons

- Frequent crashes, freezes, and loss of notes/edits.
- Subscription pricing is high and upgrade prompts are intrusive.
- Limited editing capabilities (cannot edit existing text) and weak form support (JavaScript forms not working).
- Bugs and regressions after updates affecting usability.
