Hi ! Thank you for your app ! I will buy the yearly subscription at the end of my trial. There are a lot of lags or bugs however… Do you think it would be to add more languages ? I wanted better text recognition but for Korean pdf it doesn’t work unfortunately. Keep up the good work and good luck !

Where is the Free draw tool?

This is a great app to easily read and put some annotaions on pdf files. I really enjoy using this app. However, the problem is that it crashs sometimes...I don't know why. Every situation is different. I hope it would be more stable using the app.

Don’t download

Was my favorite but nah it became useless when it had bugs

So close to being good

Almost amazing, has some issues with certain documents where text highlights are wayy off from where the text appears rendering the app useless for some documents. The pro version is subscription instead of a one time purchase which is upsetting, especially when other alternatives always have a one time purchase option. Reached out via email too but was never responded to. Might eventually switch over, I don’t need many advanced features but I would like enhancing features without having to pay for it forever.

Cmd+F and “Find” in the menu don’t work
