Ratings and Reviews
Best pdf app
I love this app! I use it in my iPad, hp laptop, and my phone. It works amazingly on all of them! I read a lot of articles/textbooks since I’m a college student and this app has never failed me. However, I do have one recommendation: consider adding a folder option so that we can better organize pdfs. I have multiple pdfs open that I’m using for different classes and it can be difficult to organize them all, so I frequently get a little frazzled and have to click on each pdf to make sure I have the right one. Add that and you’ll be perfect!
Some apps should not be subscription based.
This was my go-to app for PDF annotation. It had a rich feature set, and was not paywalled to an unreasonable degree, when it came to advanced features. However, since I first began using it, the app has turned to a subscription model for their “pro” version, and the functionality of the non-pro version was dramatically reduced.
For example, presets for tools are limited to just a handful without a subscription. This is ridiculous in my view, and at the very least, earlier users should be grandfathered in to a system where a subscription is not necessary to retain what I see as core functionality.
I want anyone who reads this to know that there are alternatives to DrawboardPDF that don’t require a subscription. This subscriptionization of apps like this is pure madness.
By far the best pdf app for iOS
I finally figured out how to use Drawboard with files stored in Onedrive on my iPad and I am so happy! Drawboard is so much better than any other pdf app on iPad, especially at marking up documents with the Apple Pencil. In particular, I appreciate stroke erase and the fact that highlight doesn't wash out the black text. Handwriting looks way better in Drawboard compared to other apps as well.
I wish there was a manual save button, because at least once I have lost my edits. I suspect this may be because I was working with a Onedrive file.
