  1. 5/5Great mobile pdf app.

    I use a lot of PDF software to annotate site plan maps and UPDF allows me to use my iPad and make edits on the go. Compared to Adobe annotations UPDF handles large amounts of annotations surprisingly well on the iPad. I have an iPad 6th gen and it’s been abused a lot so it runs slow and lags out on occasions but I am very interested to try UPDF on desktop and if I can get my job to agree to it maybe buying a license for my work PC. Highly recommend and I love the feature on the free version but I will definitely be getting The paid version so then I can use cloud space to be able to transition between devices easily as well. Only issue I have encountered is when editing a PDF of my tablet crashes no info was saved unless you manually save it periodically. Maybe this is different with cloud storage space. If so then great but if not I would definitely like the ability for the pdf software to make saves as edits are made just to not lose any data.

  2. 2/5Ridiculous cash-grab

    The app is basically a disappointing preview that may trick you into accomplishing something— just for you to realize none of your progress mattered unless you pay for it. You can’t save, download, or export your progress; many of the features will be missing; any amount of work you’ve done will be automatically erased if you minimize the app for long enough (maybe 20 minutes… think, a phone call came in and you had to take it). This app is worthless until you get through their paywall… and even then, I can’t vouch for how much better it may be— as my experience, being consistently disappointed, hasn’t justified paying them a single cent. A lot of incredibly basic features, such as changing the font size after typing into a document, weren’t even options; it’s not promising.

  3. 5/5Finally an offordable PDF tool to rule them all!!

    I have searched high and low for years to find the perfect PDF tool that wouldn't cost a monthly fee but yet offered a lifetime option. Well, I finally found it with you UPDF!!! This tool has lived up to all my expectations, and I am happy to say I finally found a PDF tool for life. whether you're looking for a monthly subscription or a lifetime perpetual license UPDF is the perfect tool. I have tried them all, and this is the one for me. Thank you so much to the developers for creating this software, now if I could just find a lifetime AI lol.

  4. 1/5One star for price alone…

    Cons: 1. Can’t save a file without a watermark, without upgrading to one of their expensive plans. 2. They push their annual plans very hard. 3. They push their Pro plans very hard. 4. They push their AI additions very hard. 5. Their editing interface for rotating and cropping is confusing and doesn’t conform to any standards I know of from any other programs. 6. Their program seems to have a lot of options for dealing with text, and all their AI features work only with test. But they don’t work very well with scanned images as PDFs. I’ve already spent over $200 on this thing, I finally got the image rotated and cropped the way I want, and it can’t even save a PDF as an image file. Fortunately, there’s a free shortcut you can get to turn a PDF into an image that is saved to your Photos library. Where you can then crop it some more to eliminate all the white background you don’t want. Yes, I’m going to cancel all my subscriptions with this app today. I’ve already paid the money and I can’t get it back, but at least they won’t be charging me anything more. I might try “ILovePDF” instead.

  5. 5/5Effortless PDF Editing - Highly Recommended

    UPDF has been a game-changer for me when it comes to annotating PDF site plans on the go. The app works smoothly on my iPad, handling large annotations far better than Adobe. I love the cloud feature that allows me to transition between devices seamlessly. The interface is simple, fast, and easy to use, making it a great tool for professionals. My only wish is for automatic saving when editing PDFs on my tablet. Overall, highly recommended and I’m excited to upgrade to the paid version!

  1. 5/5

    Best pdf app ever

    Gavin Orsetti · 1 Aug 2026

  2. 1/5

    On Fold 7. Page loading process is quite slow, as it takes a considerable amount of time before any content appears, and continues to load even after the page has been viewed and you go back to the previous page. This makes it difficult to quickly skim through information, especially when compared to more advanced and reliable platforms like Adobe.

  4. 2/5

    my main issue is that my Samsung device doesn't recognize it as a pdf app option whrn opening a pdf file not directly from the app. second issue is that it is only Dropbox, no one drive, samsung drive, or Google drive options. thirdly, it keeps logging me out and i have to login every so often. finally, i am a lifetime pro subscriber, but it keeps pushing me to buy the AI. I don't want it. please have time ability to turn it off!
