  1. 5/5New User

    In a bind with outdated Acrobat Pro - searched for a program to combine pdf files and this one came up. It was an immediate life saver!

  2. 3/5Just PURCHASED

    you can not see or export your documents until you pay $4.99. They should have put the price upfront like every other app instead of trying to be sneaky. And weird to charge a price when they only convert PDF's (not word documents). ehh I may keep it around but I will continue to shop around for a full-service document merging app.

  3. 1/5Same devloper as Scanner App but not functional

    I have been using the Scanner app version 1.6 and just got tired of messing with Preview to combine PDF files. In the Scanner app there is a button which says " Combine PDF Files" (oh good...piece of cake now right?). No, it takes you to Apple's Mac app store to 'Open' the Combine PDF Files. Oh great. Download app and click on Combine PDF Files and guess what...you will have needed to save each individual PDF page you scanned and saved with. unique name to combine the files. If you think, aha but there is a Scan button in this app you will surprised that it will not connect to your scanner but wants you to scan from iphone. // This should be one app and scan all docsuments and then merge or edit the pages you want in the mergte. AND both apps cost money. Not good business practice. You need to fix this and combine the two programs to work together seamlessly.

  4. 1/5Changes my text to some foreign language

    I struggled to get the right documents to merge then when it did and I opened on my computer to make sure it looked right it changed to words to some sort of kryptic language that made no sense. Waste of money and could have cost me business had I not reviewed what it looked like be for sendig to the bank.

  5. 2/5the app works I guess

    it all works well but they convienently let you know at the end that you cant actually save your work until you pay $8. I'd say avoid the app just because of this malicious attempt at making money. i would be much more willing to pay the money if the developers were honest from the start. instead, you do hours of labor just to have your work held ransom until you pay.
