Pros and cons of PDF Max app for iPhone and iPad

PDF Max app good for

The app is a lot more stable since the last update, thanks! There are just a few issues in usability (flipping through pages is not continuous, switching from moving to highlighting could be easier with maybe a toggle button outside of the tool drawer) but overall it does its job well.

it has got everything you need. BUT: I do not like the feeling of using the pen or highlighter. There is a tiny delay that makes it unnatural. This function is implemented MUCH better in Evernote penultimate.

.... only I should like to be able to correct some little mistakes in the text. Mit freundlichem Gruß !

The PDF Max 4 (free version) is exactly what I was looking for stress free, paper free reading for my studies. A larger number of highlighting options is offered and the app is very intuitive. I love it! The premium version offers better reading, though I dont think thats really necessary. Offers syncing via iCloud, which I always prefer.

I have never came across such an amazing PDF app! You can do almost anything with it! I hardly ever write reviews, but this one is actually worth my time complimenting it because it exceeded my expextations!

This app does everything it claims to do - and with ease. Highest recommendation.

Some bad moments

Downloading the free app is worthless! I cant even try the highlighting function as you need to pay $4.99 to unlock the colors. Same goes for some other functions as well. Definitely will not pay if I cant try it out.

I updated to their new version and lost all of my files. I emailed them for support and they did not reply back to me. Also, this app is very inefficient for backing up files. You have to do it one-by-one when youre uploading to Google Drive. I would recommend using another app to annotate PDFs.

After waiting many months for 3.0 which was supposed to fix the icloud issue all of us were having for many months, i installed 3.0. Only to find out i cannot access any of my files from the cloud anymore. Very very disappointing and unprofessional. Please stay away unless you see consistently good feedback for the latest version. I wonder if they tested this app at all and if apple has any mechanism to penalize app owners who fail to submit regression test results?

It ok for markup. Crashes sometimes. Signatures was good in the older version, not it,s a small signature panel, and the signature appears small. Also it does not maintain colour of ink or thickness. Developer never fixed anything. Many revisions, but developer still did not fix the "maintains colour and thickness settings". It is not a big request to fix this big. Nov. 2013-signatures not getting saved. Developer fixes one thing and breaks another. seems to have trouble with getting basic features working from on revision to the next.

Wouldnt recommend this for important papers, if you are in elementary school and need an excuse for not having your work completed, use this program, it doesnt work well, this could be a better excuse than "My dog ate my homework". I actually paid for 3 versions that offered annotations, email and signitures....yea, my dog ate my homework

I edit many-page dissertations, and the most common thing I do is select text to make a comment. Word, google docs, adobe reader all support this feature with very few clicks. iPad apps are lame in this respect. Takes too many taps, or the notes not associated with the highlighted text, etc.
