Reading PDFs on your phone is frustrating. Tiny text, constant pinching, horizontal scrolling, multi-column layouts, and research papers that never fit the screen make even simple reading feel like work. PDF Reflow makes PDFs and Word documents easier to read on mobile by turning them into a clean, phone-friendly reading experience. Instead of zooming in and out or dragging the page left and right, you can read documents in a natural vertical flow that fits your screen width. It’s especially helpful for: - research papers - reports - manuals - articles - Word documents - PDFs with figures, colors, and formulas PDF Reflow keeps the look and structure of your document while making it much easier to read on a small screen. You can also: - select and highlight text - search inside documents - adjust text size up to 300% - show the PDF in dark mode - pick a PDF inside the app If you read PDFs on your phone and hate fighting the layout, PDF Reflow is built for that problem.

Works awesome, but unexpectedly deletes PDFs from their location

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?

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.

Thank you! Version 1.8 should work better with figures, and I'm working on better grouping math formulas too.

Amazing, but lacks pdf viewer features

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

The app has no contents or bookmarks option and also does not remember last read page and also cashes a lot. These two features would make it much better other than that it’s ok.

- new option to pick a PDF inside the app (thank you Gavette) - option to delete your highlights (select some word and tap the pen icon) (thanks Gavette) - better margins around the pages - upgrade to PRO bottom card explains clearly why you see a limited number of pages in the free version
