PDF Max Pro for Negative User Reviews
✓ Still CrashingIt is now November after your recent update. Crashes upon opening. You have not fixed the problem since I reported it before which was as follows: Started populating my documents until it just died and needed CPR to revive to no avail.,Seems it is not compatble with the latest ios7. Won't open..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Not goodThought this was pretty handy dandy but then tried to fill out a form. Whew, all over the place. Great for storage but not for advertised use. Don’t even try. Too bad, it promises a lot. I moved to Notability..Version: 5.3.0
✓ App crashesApp crashes when i touch the pen tip icon belon the link tool in the tool bar. It has been crashing since last 3-4 updates. And when it crashes all the edit data on pdf is lost with it. Had a hard time due to this. I use this app to take lecture notes on pdf prof uploads. Please give me my money back..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Useless appDon't waste your time on this it is 💩💩💩 every function of any use demands in app purchase before it can be used.Version: 5.2.0
✓ Dead app, developers ghosting users?The app crashes, and will not open, the app support link leads to a dead page. If it’s due to the new iOS version 17, it would be nice to know that somebody out there is working on it. Without that information, I’ll have I have to decide that. I’m glad I’m canceling my subscription..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Can not zoom out pdfThe PDFs I view can be really large, so I like to zoom them out. PDF Max Pro is fantastic in pretty much every way except for a lack of zoom feature.Version: 8.0.0
✓ CrashingJust crashing when trying to open certain pdf's.Version: 2.3.3
✓ Horrible crashing appI used to love this app. I was collecting articles for my upcoming fellowship for past 2 years. But for life of me I could figure out where it was saving my documents and I wanted to move to cloud service so I could find easier but stupid app kept crashing. Updated it and all 2 years of work is lost.... also I paid for the app but now some of the applications now require a monthly fee. No thanks..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Great app1 star for constantly asking me to rate it..Version: 4.1.2
✓ INSTANT CLOSURE !!!!There are better apps that do the same but I preferred this one for the convenience of having several documents open. However, now I can not even use it because it closes as soon as I open it. UPDATE !! The app takes more than ONE YEAR without an update and has many bugs. They will get many users to stop using it..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Excellent app but colours too dark!I love this app for organising my PDF library, but I have been looking to switch to another app because the colours of my files are all heavily distorted - too dark and too saturated as if on a 256 colour device, but on a Retina iPad! When I view the same PDFs on other apps (eg. Adobe Reader), or on the computer, the colours are much lighter, more realistic and much higher detail in pictures..Version: 4.1.2
✓ HighlightingNew version doesn't save the highlighting part. Please fix..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Will Still Use but can not RecommendOverall a good program, I use it basically to store and organize my PDFs. Normally, I would've given this program 4 stars except for the following: 1) The depiction of folders and documents in the new iOS 7 version is clunky and does not work as well as the previous version. 2) Also it's very difficult (maybe impossible) to drag a file into a folder that is offscreen. 3) I had to buy it twice once as an in-app upgrade and the other as the pro version.Version: 3.0.1
✓ Groping in the DarkMy attempt to create a linked table of contents through a brute-force exploration of the combinatorial possibilities of the UI has been an exercise in futility. Where is the @@3$!!# Documentation?.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Do. Not. BuyLoaded a PDF form. Filled it in. Emailed it to someone. Arrived as a blank form with none of my information in it. Assumed I picked the wrong option of what to send from their confusing selection of what to send (what is wrong with offering “blank form” or “as filled in”? “Annotations” is technically the correct word, but sounds impersonal, whereas what I just entered is very personal). Went back into app. PDF is now reset. *bad word*! Why did I pay for an app that allows me to fill in PDF forms when it does not retain the information I put in?.Version: 7.4.0
✓ Waste of timeNot impressed: the two documents I worked on became corrupted so I have lost several hours of work unless it has miraculously saved to iCloud..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Please fix Google drive issuesG-drive files are just gray screen and won’t open..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Documents introuvablesJ'ai beau glisser mes documents dans l'app via iTunes, même s'ils semblent être dans mon nouveau IPad, selon iTunes, en réalité, les documents ne s'y retouvent pas. PDF Max Pro à 9.99 $ une arnaque.Version: 2.0
✓ Was great, now a rip offLoved this for years, but the newest features cost $52 a year. That is crazy. There are other editors out there with text viewing preferences that aren’t subscription based..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Used to be very good appThis app was used to be a very good app, after recent update started to freeze nearly every single time I use it, it's been trying to connect to google drive and dropbox continually for the past weeks and never stops, Really disappointed, I paid for the app too, I'm not using the free version, Hopefully they fix it ASAP,.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Great butNeeds debugged but the features promised are great..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Does job, but still problemsOverall, I can do exactly what I want with this program, which is mark up PDFs with comments on content. I also like being able to organise files into various folders. But, the program does crash and occasionally freeze. I've found I've had to shut down the program and restart on several occasions. So, while I like the program, it needs work..Version: 3.0.0
✓ App force closingPrint option doesn’t allow a3 printing. The option to print via our printer then crashes the app when selecting the sheet size..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Usually excellent but keeps crashing nowI uploaded a large PDFs file over 200mb but now the app keeps on crashing..Version: 4.5.0
✓ Able to transport files now but ...Unable to create custom stamps like prev with new iOS update. Please fix. I paid a lot of money for this product to work properly..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Keeps crashingI have used the free version and use iCloud, however after upgrading to the paid version my documents from iCloud show up, however when I open a document it crashes. This happens on both my iPad 3rd gen and the iPhone 5..Version: 2.0
✓ Problem with opening file from local and driveI’ve been used this app for years. But since one of the update, I can’t open the file from my google drive. Even if I open a file on my local storage, I add several notes successfully, and it suddenly crashed. Tried multiple times with same problem, even delete and re-install doesn’t solve it. Such a disappointment!!.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Nothing works since last update ?What happen to the last update ? All Annotatde PDF not save anymore ? Nothing work anymore ? Reinstall did not fix the problem :(.Version: 3.0.2
✓ Very disappointedPurchased PDF Max Pro this morning. Crashes if I try to change colours of fonts or rectangles. Won't change font sizes in my text boxes. Help and guidance VERY limited, especially as I refuse to use Facebook which they apparently have a channel to support -didn't know this before I purchased. Waste of money..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Do not workIt crashes every time I try to open a PDF document. I also spent 5 hours reading and underlining a document and then the app crashed it and were unable to open it again! Really there are like 10 apps better than this, do not even think on pay for this useless app or even download it! I payed the price, don’t be like me.Version: 7.4.0
✓ Epub filesAgain still missing App is ok only for PDFs hence the rating I don't use this app haven't use it for the last 1.5 years and don't intend too at this point The app is ok but Would anyone else like to see this app be able to open epub files?.Version: 4.1.2
✓ BugCan you fix bug, I can't close PDF opened with the app..Version: 2.0
✓ App was working great until...I just upgraded to premium and now my app is crashing while attempting to merge documents. This app has been a life saver up until this point now, I am in a crunch and have to figure out a work around. I will not be keeping this upgrade. It’s hasn’t even been 20 mins yet. I’m disappointed!.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Update makes app useless.This app was my favourite to use for annotating PDF's for a very long time but since the latest update, it doesn't work! Two finger tap to access the right toolbar? Nope! I get the left one which is no help at all when I want to annotate my document but not the right. I deleted the app and reinstalled it - toolbar works but app keeps crashing. Please FIX this app or I'll be forced to find another and I'm already looking....Version: 5.0.0
✓ Best all around PDF App I’ve ever usedBest all around PDF app I’ve ever used. Use it constantly from contacts to schedules I don’t want changed..Version: 7.2.0
✓ Stop switching off functionalityApp no longer has capabilities with latest update... most likely an effort to require upgrade purchase. Not the first time with this app... will start looking for other products that provide the same functionality. Now can not import pdfs to the app. Latest updated stated it was suppose to fix this issue... sadly nope..Version: 7.3.0
✓ SwitcheroI’m not a fan of the ‘ol bait and switch. Makes me suspicious of the vendors ethics. I paid for this app a while ago, pro version and then upgraded to premium version. Then like many shady developers in what is often erroniously called an “upgrade” they removed that feature, and now want $2 a week for it. Call me old fashioned, but I beleieve upgrades shouldn’t result in removing functions. Just a general rule of thumb..Version: 6.2.0
✓ I hate the latest updateI just to love this app, now I have the hardest time finding my folders, I hate the dumb color tags, ugh !! They ruined it, I’m now looking for an app where I I can simply save and find my stuff without hassle..Version: 6.1.0
✓ Lost my documentsNot once, not twice, not thrice, how about multiple times I lost my important docs. Months of work 👎🏽!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ UselessFiles that open everywhere else will not even load to this app. Uninstalled..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Abandoned App?Is the developer still around? The last update to this app was over a year ago, the developer's site appears to be something different & the support links end in error messages. It appears that this developer may have abandoned this app. I'm holding off buying the upgrade until then..Version: 5.3.0
✓ The save button deletes all your work2 hours wasted..Version: 5.1.0
✓ CrashesApp crashes when I try to type, when I’m doing a checklist it works fine but when I try to click on a box to type in the app crashes, please fix..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Wrong appI bought PDF max pro but when I open it’s written PDF max and not pdf max pro and I need to buy premium to have supplies from the pro version even though I bought it ????????.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Cant sync pdfCant open any pdf documents from dropbox, pls fix.Version: 2.1.2
✓ LaggyThis app has some serious interface lag on third gen ipad. After selecting something it will take a good 2 seconds for the cation pop up to appear..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Can't save edited pdfCan't save edited pdf to iPad. All edits are stored online. Bogus..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Do NOT Upgrade unless you want to lose your files!Previous version was excellent. The new one crashes, loses files and is missing some functionality in previous versions. Bad experience. Will look for another app. What a shame. Used to be a great app..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Needs some fixingI used to love the app, but there is no way to contact the developer about issues. New issue - when printing a pdf with markups and annotations nothing shows up. So if you fill out a form and print it only a blank form is printed, even if you see it on screen on every computer regardless of the settings, even if flattening the pdf before sending..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Frequent crashes since IOS 16 updateMost of all the functionality, which was great, has been lost with subsequent IOS updates. The app now force closes with attempted search, and print no longer works. I am experiencing the same behavior on several devices. There does not seem to be a way to get in touch with the developer. Previously this was one of my main go to apps, but appears to be a non-supported app at the present time. Hopefully updates will be released or they will pull the app from the App Store. In the mean time, I will have to look for good alternatives..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Poor support and no ongoing developmentUsed to be a decent app, but not any more. I liked the Pro version, initially, but they have failed to update it to work with the new version of Dropbox. Clicking the need Need Help gives a 404 page not found error. Trying to go to their website gives you nothing. So this appears to be a defunct company that is just trying to keep collecting money from app shoppers without continuing to keep their app up to date. DO NOT BUY THIS APP.Version: 5.3.0
✓ This app is okEverything was amazing since I havent found any app got this many features built in one app, but no printing function made this app totally useless for me. Add print option to get 5 stars from me..Version: 2.1.2
✓ What's going on???I've been using this app for a while and then all of a sudden it won't open, crashing with every attempt to open. It is/was a highly effective productivity tool. ????? I'd love to continue use if possible..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Cannot restore the inn-app purchaseI bought the premium package a few years ago but recently I found that I cannot restore the inn-app purchase to go back to premium any more. I checked a little bit and noticed that this is because the company is starting the monthly premium subscription. This is really absurd..Version: 7.3.0
✓ No iOS 6 supportJust when I want to use the app after not using it for a long time it crashes and there's is no way to download the previous version, if its gonna work on iOS7 then put the compatibility to iOS7 so we can download the previous version..Version: 3.0.3
✓ Updates have made it unusableI was happily using this app for years until the v6 update, and then suddenly it has become absolutely useless. I can’t open documents, I lost all my saved content, it reaches into way too many other apps and still somehow can’t access a single file. I get error messages with no explanation, or I simply can’t click on files to open them. I have reached out to the developers through Facebook (the only means I could find) and was mostly ignored. I deleted the Pro version I had to try and re-install it, was made to pay again, and still it is completely non-functional. I am extremely aggravated, both by the loss of what was a very good app and by the poor service by the developers. If I cannot figure out what’s going on I will have to complain to Apple to get a refund because I am honestly angry as it stands..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Not so good any moreI paid about 10 bucks for the pro version a couple of years ago. I liked its ability to extract pages from a larger document into a single document consisting of the extracted pages. I recently upgraded to an iPad Pro. When I extracted 3 pages, they were not combined into one document, but remained 3 separate pages. It seems that now, more pro features, like merge PDF’s, are available for a $.99 PER WEEK subscription. I ain’t paying $52/year for something I already paid for. Now it crashes when opening documents.Version: 8.1.0
✓ Very JunkyI try to do a create PDF and the editor shows up with the PDF but does not show it in my library. If I do it multiple times, I see multiple PDFs in the editor but still not listed in the library. This PDF maker is the most user unfriendly of the one's I've tried. It's amazing they even got me to pay for this junk! It's useless! ONE STAR!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ DissappointingThe free version of this app did what I wanted for a few years and then they took away the merge function. That’s really all I needed it for. They said I needed to upgrade to a subscription. But instead I saw a (one time) paid pro version. It looks and does the exact same thing as the free version. So wasted $5. I don’t want to pay a subscription for just a simple merge functionality. I would if I did more annotating on a regular basis, but not for just merge functionality. So much for “PDF Max”!.Version: 6.2.0
✓ Fake Free‘Free for a limited time’ ‘text stamps’, etc But all that still needs a premium subscription. So these features advertised aren’t free at all. Lies will always get 1 star since I can’t give zero.Version: 6.2.0
✓ UnreliableI used this app for two years and cannot recommend it. It works well at times but has frequent errors, locks up, and closes randomly. Two months ago it started locking up every time I opened it and is still useless to me. I reinstalled it with no improvement. Worst of all, I lost all of my important documents from the last two years!.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Keeps crashingWhenever I move from type to pen or exit out of type or pen the app closes, and I have to reopen. Tried keeping the type on constant but pdf has trouble scrolling.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Not good with the new IPad pro and pencilWas not smooth at all with the Ipad pro and pencil for annotation. This was my key reason for getting it. Found that PDF expert was much better for that purpose.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Was working wellThe app was working great then it started crashing and erasing everything. This happens often. There aren't many programs out there for editing PFD on iPads. This is the best of a lot of bad programs. I've made sure all my software is up to date..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Lost faith in productSince the last update of the IOS operating system, this program has crashed EVERY TIME I tried to save a fill in form. A useful program made useless..Version: 5.3.0
✓ PDF MAXGreat app. Holds lots of files, PDF ebooks etc. I am able to highlight, underline text as I read it and lots more.Cant do without it now!.Version: 2.5.1
✓ Upgrade disappointingNo where near as good as the previous version. Crashes constantly.Version: 6.0.0
✓ It often crashesIt often crashes whenever I annotate file and send it to my email. When it crashes, the file would get deleted from recent files and nowhere to be found..Version: 7.3.0
✓ Different on iPad vs. iPhoneGot this app on my iPad and it works great for what I’m trying to do which is fill and sign PDFs. However on the iPhone for some reason it doesn’t recognize signature fields and I can’t sign documents. I can overlay a signature but that’s not using the field for some reason. Super annoying..Version: 7.4.0
✓ Horrible experienceThis app used to be the best in the market. I bought all the available versions: pro, premium, the one with the infinite sign. All of a sudden after an update my text to speech was deactivated. I tried to contact them multiple times via email and Facebook (the only available channels) with no reply at all. I had the lifetime access according to my past purchases, but it does not restore in-app purchases with my iCloud. What a disrespect! Currently I am using the usd 19,90 pdf reader pro, which I recommend for those who are in the same situation looking for an alternate app after this one passed away. Go back to what you guys used to be, please! This thing is going down..Version: 6.2.0
✓ Can't use anymore. DO NOT GET THIS APP.Something happened where the app opens for one second and closes on me ...every time. Haven't been able to use for weeks. After my upgrades it is totally UNUSABLE. Hope a new update fixes this. Don't spend money on this app until you hear it has been repaired..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Painful navigate. Needs simplicityI use Adobe acrobat seemlessly. This app far behind.Version: 7.4.0
✓ AwfulAwful app. You make loads of annotations on various pieces of work. One moment they are there, the next all highlights and annotations have vanished. Extremely unreliable in performance. Regret wasting money on it..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Crashing all of a suddenTried to restart my iPad but still, crashes within ten seconds. :) hate it.Version: 5.3.0
✓ Doesn't workThe app does not do what it says on the box - could not even open a pdf document with form fields properly. I'm sorry, but I want my money back!.Version: 3.2.0
✓ I deleted this appI purchased this app (at $4.99) - along with the premium version (at $8.99). After several unsuccessful attempts to edit PDFs, I deleted both apps and respectfully request a refund for the purchase price of both..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Lost all my notesWhen I upgrade this app, I found all my notes has been removed. That's very bad. Terrible!.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Does not work with iOS16Since updating to iOS 16, the app opens, and then immediately goes to a gray screen and is unusable. It also does not appear in the options of where to save a PDF when saving something, like a screenshot..Version: 8.0.1
✓ Waste of moneyVery poor and wants you to subscribe for 'premium' features.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Crash and burn....Don't bother paying good money for the pro version because the app wouldn't stop crashing. I would be writing a work meeting note and it would crash all of a sudden and all my notes unsaved. This has happened 3 times this week and it's only Wednesday!!! Great program otherwise if you don't mind your notes not being saved!.Version: 3.3.2
✓ UselessUsless app ,,usually you cant do anything ..Version: 4.1.0
✓ Would have given this app 5 stars IF1) savings to iCloud works. 2) pasting works after copying. For some reason, pasting only works half the time..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Rip off, I Paid for Max Pro...Doesn’t WorkEvery so Often they just remove your Purchase Tag and then want you to Pay again for access to what you have already PAID for... I would suggest you Buy some other App! The supposed best App creators for PDF Editing on iPhone are only after your Money! They don’t care about the Quality! They made mega money from us the Users but don’t make sure their Product stays working!.Version: 7.3.0
✓ Very goodI used to love this program. Then the upgrade changed the whole interface and now it doesn't work as well as it used to. It keeps freezing and when I save annotated journal articles it creates a new file for them when in the past I was able to choose whether I want the files replaced or created new. Very annoyed at this..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Finally deleted it...Between the confusing “upgrade” options and lack of response from the developer... it’s just not worth it. Read the other one- and two-star reviews - they are the more recent ones where people have noticed the decreasing functionality. There are certainly better options out there!.Version: 6.2.0
✓ Dropbox does not workDev. needs to update Dropbox API connectivity which expired in July 2017..Version: 5.3.0
✓ Good when or if I can import PDF document.I find it distraction that I most always get an ERROR message when trying to export file into PDF Max Pro and get an error. Seems to need some sort of improvement unless I am doing it wrong. Have asked for help but in vain..Version: 5.3.0
✓ UnintuitiveTitle says it all, gave it plenty of goes yet the controls are clunky and unintuitive just hard to get use to.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Flattened document cannot save or print changes.After the update, none of the changes made on the PDF document can be saved. Tried older files that I changed before, same problem. Fix now. I need this for work!.Version: 3.1.0
