Reader

Thanks! Would be great if the app could remeber window position and size and previously opened documents/tabs.

Can't re-size the window down from the default. I'm on a 40" 4K monitor and I don't need a single page occupying half of my screen. Why can't you re-size the window just like any other app?

Glad to have this. It’s very helpful to have a PDF viewer that fills the screen with no nav panes on the left. I do wish for an optional scroll feature, but am content enough with the side swipe.

Every PDF reader I have used before has a "fit to width" feature that shows one page as the width of your screen. I cannot find any way to do this in this app. Instead, it shows two pages side-by-side, making both far too small to read comfortably.

Really clean interface. See myself using it vs liquidtext or the preview app

This PDF reader is nearly perfect. The only issue I had is that I couldn't figure out how to highlight in different colors. As a PhD student, that part is necessary for me to organize my research. I really liked using this, but without that I can't use it for very much. I'll change to 5 stars & start using it again if/once there is an option to do multi-colored highlighting.

When I magnify the pdf so that a page is larger than the screen, and scroll down, the next page is not displayed at the beginning of the page but at the bottom. Is a little annoying because I have to scroll up back up again so can't read a document by just hitting SPACE. Please consider altering SPACE or DOWN to start at the begiining of the next page. Excellent job though! Great reader and will become my go-to reader once scrolling is "normal".

I have been looking for a pdf reader that focused on letting me just read. It's nimble and uncluttered. It's just perfect. Love it. One smal drawback: it looks like trackpad (Apple Magic trackpad) finger motion to zoom within a window doesn't work. Zoom with Apple magic mouse does work perfectly.

I tried this several months back and had issues with the function to remove highlights or change their color using the context menu. This was apparently on the list of things to resolve, but it is still an issue, so I'm abandoning ship in favor of an app that works. Love the minimalism, but if I can't highlight, I have no use for this app.

I have tried a number of free PDF readers for MAC, and unfortunately, none of them have all the features. Currently, I have three PDF readers installed since I need all of them based on the use case. While all of them have issues, the issues with this one are the most tolerable, so this is usually my go to reader. First the pros. This reader provides crystal clear text and smooth scrolling, (quite surprisingly,) the only free reader to have these two features. Of my other two readers, Adobe's scrolling is very jumpy and Foxit makes the texts blurry on the external monitor. The cons are frustrating, because while the cons of other readers are due to bugs, the cons of this one are by design. First, every time I open a new document, it opens a new window, not a new tab. I have to drag that window to a previously opened window to have them tabbed. Second, I have to select "single page continuous" to have smooth scrolling. I found no options to make it the default view. Third, the text search (cmd F) shows the results in a list. I would prefer to see the result highlighted in the regular view, which is common in all the text readers I have seen before. This helps me see the context, which is not possible in an isolated list. I really wish the developers take note and make some changes to the UI so that I can uninstall the other readers.
