PDF Reflow

If you have a PDF book to read: 1. There’s no index or bookmarks so there’s no way to navigate 2. You can’t change text size 3. Takes ages to load book 4. Indents and other formatting messes up the display so you can’t read it. All in all pretty rubbish, but give credit to the creator as their making money for something I deleted almost instantly. Would love to get a refund but I’ll console myself on going out of my way to make sure no one else will download it.

Reflowing PDF text so it’s readable on small devices is a challenge given they’re often print first and come in a range of formats. This app does a great job of it. Much appreciated!

I have only recently discovered this little gem of an application after spending money on other apps that have ‘ PDF Reflow’ options and not being happy with the results. My use case is for PDF based magazines that are often tricky to navigate on an iPhone. This app formats the magazine perfectly for me to read my while on my commute. There is always room for improvement, my only request would be to see a wider variety of font size options.

Just bought this but can’t use it for the purpose intended (and advertised) I.e reflowing a short 48 page pdf

Needs a way to set bookmarks, so I can come back to my location later in long PDFs.

The app reflows text in a great way which makes it very easy to read journal publications that are hard to read in their two-column format with tiny text. However, The app deletes PDFs from where they are stored, which is an unxpected and unwanted behavior. It was difficult to recover them, and I never want this to happen. Can you make the app so it does delete my files?

Good idea Poorly executed. The reflow does not work with many scientific pdfs, you just end up scrolling horizontally. It doesn’t work well with the images as it crops them and you lose content. You cannot highlight the pdf. As is, the app is not worth it. The developer needs to put more effort to develop the app. I was expecting to see some deep learning for the app to “smartly” recognize the pdf structure, the app is not anywhere close to “smart”.

Initially a 5 stars because this is soooo useful, but then realized that it is far from usable because it doesn’t remember the pdf you were reading, or where you were in the doc. It’s exhausting to reopen the pdf and wait for the processing to work and then find the page you were on every time you want to read something. I can do without highlighting but this is tablestake

I’m so impressed with this app! It’s well designed and very dependable! Please keep up the great work!

This is really an amazing app. I really wonder why it is not more popular. As a PhD student, I have been looking for an app that would allow me to read research papers in split view and mobile. As most of the paper I read have lots of math, I was never satisfied with all other readers with reflow ability as they cannot successfully reflow math expressions. This one can! It is the best reflow app I used, not only on mobile but also on my Mac. I highly recommend it! Only issue I have sometimes is that the AI adds an unnecessary linebreak inside a sentence, thinking that a new paragraph has started (and sometimes does the opposite). It is really a minor issue, but if that could also be fixed the app would become perfect. Edit: Nice to see the app getting updates. I am wondering if there are any plans to add an option to export the text. It would be amazing to be able use this app to convert pdfs to epub or other formats. It already performs much better than any other converter I used, especially for text with math and figures.
