Keeps freezing and losing data

I wrote about this in march. Nothing has changed, except support contacted me to find out what happened. They didn’t find and discussion ended with them just saying they didn’t know.
Issue still there : app will freeze, and all information written on the doc is forever lost, which is totally unacceptable for me since I use this app for work (taking notes on documents when I meet clients).
Conclusion : I’m gonna pay to get a functional app. But not the pro version of this one. I don’t think pro version will fully work if the free one is not reliable.

Best PDF annotations with Apple Pencil

After spending a few hours searching for an app to use to mark up long and complicated PDFs for distance learning I stumbled upon PDF viewer. Compared to other PDF apps it is super simple and cleanly integrates with the native files UI. It has a very customizable interface for PDF viewing and markup that is missing from Files and Acrobat. It also has a tabs system that lets you quickly flip between documents. All basic functionality works well and is free. Very good app.

Making the world right again

I have been looking for several years for a PDF annotation app. My needs are uncomplicated: as an academic, I need to highlight important text, make comments, and occasionally export those annotations. I have a large library of academic PDFs and thus I need seamless integration between the app and Dropbox. I searched for years. Tried a number of overrated and bloated PDF editors. For a while, I used iannotate3 before those developers abruptly stopped supporting it and literally crashed it in order to force users to update to their inferior next product. I refused the extorsion and looked elsewhere.
Now my search is over. This is an amazing product. It does all that I need it to do. It does everything superbly and is the opposite of bloatware. The basic version is complete and performs beautifully. The user interface is well thought out and empowers you. An amazing piece of software. I would gladly contribute $ for its maintenance. The efforts of dedicated craftsmen. Thank you.

Lots of nice features, but slow

I love using this app to edit some pdf documents and take notes, however, the app is super slow when I need to save medium or large size document I recently annotated, and it keeps saving for up to 10 mins.. Sometimes it freezes unpredictably..

APP LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ERASE NOTES

This app is perfect for writing notes on blank papers. However, when I click on the eraser icon to erase a written word on a paper full of notes, the app starts to lag. It would be helpful to resolve this issue and fix the lag.

It’s a good free app! Give it a try.

I’ve downloaded this app for grad school readings. It’s nice that I can use my Apple Pencil to both highlight and write comments. There’s also an option for a comment box for more in-depth analysis. One annoying thing is whenever I’m using the pencil to make notes, my palm will activate the screen and jump pages at times.

Recent bugs with IOS 13

Since I have installed the lastest version of IOS 13 on my iPad Pro, the app freezes daily. I have to shut it down and restart it again at least 2-3 times a day. I hope these bugs will be corrected soon.
Otherwise a great app with a lot of great options.

Just wow!

Look I used lots of apps for note taking and annotation. I had some priorities that this app meets all of them.
First: i wanted an app to open and save in my iCloud files as a primary source. This app is great when it comes to integrating with iCloud. I have 2TB storage for icloud and my devices are low in storage. So I needed something to save my files directly to iCloud and again this app doest it.
Second: floating scrubbier ( if i am spelling right ). I dont know why other apps didnt bother themselves to offer this option.
There are many other advantages with using this app. I find this app today and I will use it in my daily life and write my comment about it again.
SHOUTOUT TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS APP. THANK YOU VEEY MUCH FOR CODING THIS MASTERPEICE.

Horrible app that crashed 5 minutes into using it

The first 5 minutes were fine, then mysteriously the app froze. I was really hoping this app would work as I read and annotate articles a lot. I have now spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to close the app, to no avail. Complete waste of time!

The best app on ios

This is my first review ever. I am a student, bought an ipad for study. Looking for a pdf reader which is free. After trying so many I was disappointed as they all are paid. This only app I can find which is useful and free. I was about to sell my ipad, this app made me stay. Cheers for the developers and thanks for keeping it so clean and free at the same time. Nice work.

Editors, Writers, Idea-Diagrammers—Here’s Your App

Amazing in its sophistication and simplicity, it’s elegance and powerful features. Easy to learn up front, but worth getting to know its depth of features, which emerge intuitively with use.
A superb document editing tool, for blue-pencillers and editors who love to mark up a typescript or MS in PDF (—features are more advanced than Acrobat’s).
That’s all I needed—at first... But soon discovered other features and applications, like sketching design plans and charts, that I now use all the time. It’s even a great notepad for walking into meetings...
Thank you, Development Team and Investors, for an amazing product and staggering good value.

User beware

Was enjoying this app but the recent update lost ALL my school documents and notes since September! When I contacted support they told me there was no way for them to get my documents back unless I had saved them on an older backup. If your using this app make sure you consistently back it up/save them in a different place.

This is the best PDF View AND note taker I have ever had.

To summarize my satisfaction with this app: I used to have two other apps instead of this one: one of them was a PDF viewer, and the other was a note taker. Everything the other apps lacked, this one has, and all in one app. And all the things the other ones already had, this app has it BETTER. Even tho the name of the app is PDF Viewer, it does so much more. Note taking here is great, and I can have all my class readings AND notes all in one place. I love it. Seriously, I’m so happy with it, I keep raving about it to my husband. Well done! Keep it up!

Much better than PDF expert!!!

Not because it’s free. There’s many good feature making it a good PDF reader. It’s simple and easy to use. No fuzzy sync problems like PDF experts. Well integrated with file app and iCloud. But I hope it can support drag and drop for iPad in the future. Also the brush and highlighter is not natural. I don’t mind you guys make some in-app purchase since this app is really great. I want it to be even better.

Le meilleur PDF reader!

Après avoir fouillé longtemps, c’est l’application qui correspond le mieux à mes besoins! J’avais besoin d’un outil de lecture active et de prises de notes pour mes cours. Je voulais modifier mes PDF avec un surligneur efficace, un outil pour écrire à main levée sur mon iPad, et de quoi écrire en traitement de texte pour ajouter des notes. J’ai aussi cherché longtemps pour une app qui permet de mettre des onglets ou signets sur les pages d’un document PDF, pour mieux organiser de gros documents, et PDF Viewer est mieux que iBooks parce qu’en plus de pouvoir mettre des signets, je peux retrouver facilement les notes que j’ai laissé sur chaque page, ce qui me sert d’onglet (c’est ce qui s’en rapproche le plus parmi toutes les app). En plus, elle est gratuite!! J’en ai essayé plusieurs moins intéressantes qu’on devait en plus payer pour avoir accès à plusieurs fonctionnalités importantes comme annoter un texte (ça sert à quoi sinon hein PDF Pro3!?) ou exporter.
**** Ici, LE SEUL PROBLÈME, c’est l’exportation. On peut exporter dans tout ce qu’on veut (j’ai essayé dropbox, google drive et icloud), mais il y a juste icloud qui permet de modifier les notes ensuite (l’app est disponible dans Fichiers), les deux autres doivent être exporté « figé » pour qu’on puisse voir les modifications faites au crayon ou voir les notes qui se rétrécissent. Dropbox c’est moins pire, mais google on ne voit presque rien sinon.
BREF, fonctionne bien sous ios 11, génial avec le apple pencil, aucune limite de couleur, et je suis biiiiien satisfaite du rapport qualité prix. Merci, enfin!
