4/5Does ok after figure it out
Their support team answered quickly, but took me a while to figure out how to get pdf’s out of email to the app. The app needs to make these directions clear when you buy it and it does not. I bought two other unnecessary purchases I thought I needed to make it work before I got the email showing me how it’s done. It’s easy , so why you don’t get these simple instructions in the how to, is beyond me. That’s why 4 instead of 5 stars. It should have in the “how to” and isn’t even mentioned except in the selling it info. But it does do it. Hurray and thank you to the app team.

5/53 year hardcore user
I've been using this app for the last 3 years and it's by far the best PDF app you will find for the iPad. We are a team of 10 engineers, 20 sales guys and 5 IT guys, we all have been using this app for quite some time and we all agree is the best one out there, it's like a good wine, it only gets better with time, they don't update the app every week like other apps do (very annoying) but when they do they usually add some great features or they upgrade the user interface to make it even easier to use. One of the features we use every day is the online collaboration feature that allow us to work on the same PDF file even if we are not at the office, this is great for the sales team because they can get an update on our files in real time while they are selling our products. I also want to mention that the tech support team is just great, I had a small issue last week and they replied to me in less than a day (yes less than a day! that's just amazing) that why I decided to finally write a well deserved review to this app, not only because it works and it's great but because their support team was really really helpful and that's something you don't see every day. I'm just waiting to see what the next update will bring (hopefully some great additions to the features already has).

5/5Great App; One Feature We’d Like To Have That’s Missing...
I’m a musician and my band and I have been using this app for a little over a year now and we love it! It’s very easy to use and we find it’s collaboration and annotation features beneficial to our workflow in that they maximize our time and keep us on the same page (no more fumbling through piles of paper to find page 2 or 3 of a particular song or the song sheet itself). One feature we would love to have added however, is the ability to use a Bluetooth page turner so we could use a foot pedal to turn pages. Being musicians, our hands are usually busy playing our instruments so turning pages can be a little cumbersome. The ability to use a foot pedal would greatly enhance this app in our opinion. That’s our only caveat when other musicians ask us what app we recommend for organizing and viewing our material. We realize this app wasn’t engineered for the working musician but everyone in my band has used other apps specifically designed for that purpose and this app suits our all-around needs better any others we’ve tried but we’d love to have that one missing feature. (I’m also a minister officiating weddings occasionally and a hands-free page turner would also be beneficial in my role as such.) Bottom line, we love the app! This is just a suggestion for a wish list item :) Thank you iTech.

1/5New update is terrible
the new update is a disaster. The text in list mode is harder to read. The app is less intuitive to use, and worst of all, it crashes when I try to copy a pdf from a browser to it, which was probably one of its greatest strengths; it is the whole reason I bought the app. I contacted the developer about this, and they tried to make me feel like this just never happens and I am the only one complaining. I find that hard to believe. Update: I don’t use pdf reader pro anymore. It still crashes every time I try to copy a pdf from my browser. I use the Kindle app now, which is ok, but obviously not meant to do all the good things that a pdf reader should do.

1/5Very bad to annotate. Don’t pay
This is quarantine time and my kids are getting online packets of work that they need to complete by printing and working on them; then I need to scan them to PDFs to the teacher so she could grade it. When I looked at this app, I thought this is what I was looking for and instinctively paid for this app, but alas! Wasn’t I wrong? The pencil I used, the Logitech Crayon was writing on the PDFs in a very thick line, while the bar on the left shows as fine. The school work on pages give little space to write your answers and this is an unacceptable bug to treat this as a useful app. But luckily, I ran into another free app that is helping me do exactly what I am looking for. Please don’t pay for this app and l am sure you will find better ones for free..
