Abandoned App?

Is the developer still around? The last update to this app was over a year ago, the developer's site appears to be something different & the support links end in error messages. It appears that this developer may have abandoned this app. I'm holding off buying the upgrade until then.

I used this app frequently until I got my Apple Pencil. There is a lag response when writing with the Pencil...irritating! An upgrade would stop me from looking for more responsive app.

Problem not resolved. Do not purchase this app. I am vexed that the problem has not been resolved. I lost all of my data that I have been annotating on a file for years, even after saving them onto Dropbox and google drive!!!

App is still buggy. So disappointed. Do not purchase until this is fixed.

Files get corrupted and I lose all my information. Enjoyed this app at its peak in 2014. Now it's too buggy.
Go back to previous sticky notes. The new one is too large. I would like to have the option to BOLD words. Thanks

Would have given this app 5 stars IF

1) savings to iCloud works.
2) pasting works after copying. For some reason, pasting only works half the time.

Can't use anymore. DO NOT GET THIS APP.

Something happened where the app opens for one second and closes on me ...every time. Haven't been able to use for weeks. After my upgrades it is totally UNUSABLE. Hope a new update fixes this. Don't spend money on this app until you hear it has been repaired.

So sad

This comes down to a "how the mighty have fallen" app. I have stayed away from the updates yet ALL of my annotations on 20+ .pdfs are gone!
Thanks for creating double work.
Disappointing is an understatement!!
** update 10/20/16 - files are now corrupting after opening and being reviewed and annotated. Used to be an amazing app and now it's a pile of crap!

I find it distraction that I most always get an ERROR message when trying to export file into PDF Max Pro and get an error. Seems to need some sort of improvement unless I am doing it wrong. Have asked for help but in vain.

I purchased this app (at $4.99) - along with the premium version (at $8.99). After several unsuccessful attempts to edit PDFs, I deleted both apps and respectfully request a refund for the purchase price of both.

Solid

This is a solid PDF reader that even converts webpages to PDF!
While not in the same league as GoodReader, PDF expert 5 or documents 5, it's still a worthwhile app. It's the fourth or fifth best in the App Store. Sensibly, the developers have included access to iCloud which in my humble opinion should be the case for every PDF reader.
It functions very well as you would expect from any PDF reader. It has a sidebar and the usual array of tools for reading and annotating documents. I like it and use it occassionally even though GoodReader is the best PDF reader available. This app was worth the money. It never crashed on me or caused any other problems. I like it. It's a good, solid app.

Disappointed

I downloaded this app and it was really good. It was for free at the time. I am glad I did not pay for it though. I had a pdf that I edited and for some reason it would not open. After a while, a second one would not open. I needed these PDFs for class. So I wrote mobeera an urgent message on their website and attached a picture as well. It's been over three weeks, and I still have not heard back from them. A week after I contacted them on their Facebook too! I needed that PDF for en exam. It took them a week to finally give me a response. They wrote me at 9pm the night before my exam...asking me to send them the file, that I can't open, to their website...the same one I wrote to and didn't receive a response. For this I would not recommend this app or any app they make.

Ok but not intuitive

Bought pro version because free version was too limited. However some things do not seem to work: for example, I can free hand highlight but highlighting text blocks tells me to tap on a word, but doing so does nothing. Also had files getting corrupted? So not impressed & will definitely never pay for premium.

Buggy Version

I want to like this app, and version 4.x worked fine, but version 5.1/5.2 are buggy. Converted documents never appear after I switch to the app from the source app (e.g., Safari). I've reproduced this many things men's, rebooting the app, rebooting the app and iPad, no,change. Now, the app is useless for me.

Was once a fantastic app. With new version all of my files disappeared. Also new ones won't last long before being mysteriously "corrupted" and unable to be loaded. They've ruined it. Look elsewhere.

Works Beautifully

I rely on PDF Max because it gives me the option to convert web pages to PDF right in Safari without having to use an in app browser. The other PDF apps I've tried didn't do that. There are numerous editing options, text-to-speech, and text reflow. I like that it sinks with iCloud, which I prefer. Fantastic app.

Warning

PDF max pro
This app used to work but now is totally useless. Please be warned that after the last iOS update if just freezes or crashes. The support team is incompetent and cannot even grasp the fact that there is a problem with the app. It has been months of trying to communicate with then the problems. After sending detailed information, screen shots etc. they write back with incoherent questions that have nothing to do with the app freezing and crashing upon opening it. They have asked me what document I ant ring to open when it crashes. I have repeatedly told them that it freezes or crashes upon opening the app and that that is the only action that can be made because it freezes or crashes just opening it. It is truly unbelievable that they still write back like they actually care with more ridiculous questions. My response is: what don't you get about the app upon opening will either crash or freeze so that no other function can be made on the app. I have no other clue to give them. So all of my important documents are lost unless they fix the app. Talk about upset. I have not been able to get to any of my PDF docs stored by the app for months. Would never again buy any app made by this company.

I like it

This program does everything I ask of it. It is particularly useful for storing all of those pdf guides and user manuals on my iPad. I recently converted a web page that contained useful information that I wanted to save should the link go bad in the future. The conversion was flawless. I would recommend this product.

PDF 5 Max

Downloaded this app and upgrade to premium but cannot load a PDF file from Dropbox or run as standalone in either iPad or iPhone. Tech support suggested deleting DropBox and reinstalling. Did that - deleted both Dropbox and PDF 5. Reinstalled PDF 5 and then reinstalled Dropbox. Nothing. App will not load. Going to DropBox and hitting open in PDF5max crashes.
Would wait until they have a confirmed fix before buying.

Doesn't annotate scanned documents

I have about three pdf readers I have purchased over the years. I bought pdf max specifically because it was supposed to annotate scanned documents. It did for a while but that function is no longer available in the newest updates. I've to look for another reader now. On the whole, it's a good app.

Out the gate first finished last

Very disappointed with latest v5 updates! No matter how well you start the race, finishing is what counts. In order to keep customers, you must provide them with what they need and want; not what programmers think is cool. If it is not broke don't fix it! Downloading from external sources is no longer user friendly! Switching to another app and uninstalling my PAID version of this product! That's how disgusted I am with this new version! Oh - by the way: I am a techie geek and if this is frustrating for me, I can only imagine how crazy it must be for others. Navigating the new version is ridiculous at best!

I downloaded the app 7/3/15. It worked great! Has great features like the signature, which I really needed. Now.. Since I updated to iOS 8.4 on iPhone 6+, anytime I try to use the all important signature feature, it crashes the app! And the pdf that you try to use a signature on will now ALWAYS crash the app until you delete that particular pdf all together. So sad.. It was such a great app... PLEASE update for this new bug! I'll wait, if no sign of an update, I'll try to get a refund $12.99

Worst version ever!!

PDF Max 3 pro is better than 4. 4 makes my files broken all the time. What I mean by broken is to make my files all blank or even worse unable to be used ever. Moreover, sometimes the highlight function covers the words completely so that you are not able to see the words anymore. It is also unstable to use. It crashes very often. (I am using iPad 4 with ios 8.1.2.) I alway try to keep 4 up-to-date if it has any update, but it does not work at all. It still has the above problems...
Also, the tool box placement is horrible comparing to 3. Now, whenever you use the toolbox, the toolbox must occupy certain region (not a small region) and makes the reading area become very very restricted...
The way to use toolbox is also not friendly and not efficient comparing to 3...
I am quit satisfied with 3, but 4 really really makes me disappointed...
At 3, I always highly recommend PDF Max pro to my friends. Now, I am looking for another PDF app to use...

Upgrades are Nice, but Now it's s.l.o.w.

The new features and interface are nice. Some people are complaining about them, but once you get used to them you'll like them.
However, I have noticed a serious slowness in response times while paging through a PDF file. It can take a two or three seconds to render a page turn (on iPad 2). This makes it really hard to use this app for reference books as turning a page makes you pause your reading, then turning the page back makes you pause again. The more annotations you have, the slower it refreshes.
Please fix this slowness, it's killing this app!

ICloud Drive is broken

if you are counting on iCloud drive to store your PDFs and access them from your Mac or other iOS Device, you will be very disappointed. I cloud Drive just doesn't work.
The interface is great and minimal. Highlighting is super easy, and so are annotations. If the app would save to iCloud Drive as advertised, I would give this app 5 stars. However, I can only give it two because of false advertising.

Love it and upgrade to premium

Love several features: 1 tabs; 2 sync notes/markers for the PDFs in Dropbox and notify me on other devices if there is a new version; 3 search files in Dropbox;4 text to speech from the page you are reading (it would be nicer if it can start TTS from wherever I want, it will also be better if I can stop/pause from control center); 5 it would be better if I can edit the recent list or organize favorite into different folders

App is losing functionality

I purchased this app about a year and a half ago to view textbooks for class with, and also to use my 5200 pages factory service manual for my car. It worked great, and I always used the bookmark feature, which is especially important when you have a 5200 page service manual to look through. Then, they updated it (can't remember which update it was, it was a while ago) and for some reason the bookmark feature stopped working with my service manual. It still works for my school books, but when I'm viewing the service manual and I try to go to a page through the bookmark (ex: engine(H4DOHC) > general description > list of diag trouble codes, with the list of diag trouble codes being the page that I want to go to) it highlights it and nothing happens. I don't know if its because it's 5000 pages and just too much for the app, all I know is that it used to work and now it doesn't.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. I use this app everyday in my college classes and it is so convenient to carry around my iPad and keyboard than my big laptop. The only downside is that you have to convert your PowerPoints to PDF but that's what this app does. PDF MAX.

New version is very confusing and crashes

This had been one of my favorite APPs. I could store and open various PDFs. The latest (2) version(s) have been increasing disasters. Try to transfer and open a new PDF - asks me to select Devices, iCloud or Dropbox. Try to open file under "Device" and it crashes. Can't open old files, and can't open new files. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, but the APPs provides little guidance as to the nature of the change in software, or if is just very buggy. Please fix ASAP. It has gone from a 5 star program to a 0 (although I can't give less than 1 star).

One of the best PDF Readers/Annotators

Used on Ipad2 iOS 6.1.3 & iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2. No problems before or after today's upgrade. It was just an average reader & pdf Annotator before, but the quality & the features have increased over the past couple of months. I like the ability to drag & drop files from one folder to another, etc.

Horrible App & Even Worse Customer Service

I downloaded the Mac version of this app on Sunday. I have contacted Apple and they have stated the issue is with the app. I have deleted and re-downloaded. The app crashes every time. I have not used the Mac version yet. This evening I tried, to use the iPad & iPhone version that I purchase and each one crashes as well. I have tweeted my issues. I also FB them, but they deleted my comment. Now, this evening they came out with the release of 3.0 and appears to be causes a ton of issues. My issues with this app started on Sunday prior to any updated versions were released. I have been getting the run around from the Moobera. They have even blamed Apple for this problem. Now, I see that I am not the only one having problems with this app. Save your money! Download an app that works because the Mac version, iPad & iPhone 3.0 do not work.

Love it, but still could use improvements.

I use this app every day for annotating PDFs in medical school. It works mostly fine, but sometimes it gets a bit laggy trying to keep up with frequent zooming and writing.
There are a few things I would love to see in future updates:
1) Ability to convert to PDF within the app.
2) Auto-sync annotations rather than having to push saves through.
3) Be able to delete highlights, un-highlight and change colors of highlights. As of now, if I make a mistake, the only way to fix it is by pushing "undo" several times.
4) Be able to save a few colors as favorites for highlighting, writing, etc.
5) Make strike-out, bold, italicize, etc. available in the toolbar.
Overall, this is a great app. I just use it very often and have noticed these small details.
Thank you!

Multiple requests to rate!

Very annoying to continue getting requests to rate. If you can tollerate that the app is actually okay. It's just that when I open the app it's for a reason - I want to use it - not be continually bombarded with a please rate splash screen. I have rated it several times and now I'm lowering the rating. Developer, get the picture???

This one rocks!

I love this PDF reader, does everything I expect it too. I just deleted all the other PDF readers off my iPad. (I hated PDF Expert in particular.) PDF Max is the only one that when you blow up a document it gets clearer not blurry (I have bad eyesight.) it's very easy to use with a crisp, clean, user friendly interface. Does everything it says it is suppose to! Big documents are slower to open though, I think that would be expected. It occasionally crashes on opening or saving bigger files, but it is rare though. The signature looks awesome, looks just like it would look with pen and paper. Highlighting is just the right width, not sloppy looking. Very professional, way to go!

Wow!

I feel like I have used every PDF app available and I have been consistently disappointed with some major function of them. That is until I used this one. The amount of editing options and their ease of use is unmatched. I have stopped the search. I use this app at least 5 times everyday.

I really like this app. I hv a request to make with the techies. It would be a lot easier if we could press and hold the image file and move them to different folders to organize better. It takes a while to title and or stack the files into folders. If the solution exists then tutorial not simple to find:)

It has become the best pdf program out there

When I first bought this app it had a lot of problems, I lost several notes from weeks of work. However after a few chats with programmer it was fix and he has not looked back at the old. Is it perfect? No
I am a home health self employed nurse and have to do several reports a day. This program not saves me from sitting in front of the PC. I now like it even better then using my PC.
It took me a while to figure out how to keep everything organized, but now it is so easy.
There is so much more I would love to say about this program, but then it would sound like I was getting paid. 0.o
It does still have issues like I left a note open and updated everything written gone. That only happened once, but I am not sure if it is because I now close all open notes before updating.
Anyway this program does what it says it will do!!!

Great for reading music

I tried a couple others but this one was the most intuitive. I got to this through music...
I downloaded several music-score-reading apps, but this trumps them all. A big plus is that I can chose my scrolling type—vertical or horizontal—which I can't do with the score-reading apps I tried. For me (and most musicians, I think, would agree), vertical scrolling makes sense since page breaks don't always occur in the most convenient places in the music, and vertical scrolling allows seeing the bottom of the previous page while being at the top of the next. With horizontal scrolling you're just on one page or the next, period.
It's easy to annotate my music (with the freehand pen tool), and the annotations remain (in some apps, anyway) when I export the PDF or email it.
I'd give it a five-star rating but I haven't tried many of the other features beyond some minor testing with normal text PDFs.
Lastly, I have to respond to folks who complained about the "age-related material" warning. This happens with ANY app where the developers can't control what users view with the app. You get the same warnings when you install a Web browser (I've installed several, and I get that warning every time I update).
Great app for me!

A well deserved 5-Stars!

This app saves me several hours and hundreds of dollars every week. It is absolutely the best app I've seen with pdf form-fill capabilities and its easy to use without sacrificing needed advanced features.
I had 1 issue with it and after contacting support, they courteous support team acknowledged the issue and gave me a method by which I could get by until they fixed the problem in the next update. The update came out a mere week later. Unbelievable.
A 5-star rating should be a rare thing and I only give them when it's well deserved. I'm impressed. Thanks guys.

Drop Box Support problems

Just installed the latest upgrade & now cannot import files from my Drop Box account. The window / app closes / crashes when you select DropBox for an import. A small dialog box does open and then promptly shuts down the app. What is the point? Fix this. I need the files on the iPad in a program so I don't have to rely on wifi when out on a job site or wherever.

Great Product

I love this app. I use it for school to pull down all of the PDF readings for my classes. I can push them to my iPad from Dropbox, iTunes or just pull them right off the web. Being able to highlight and underline or notate articles helps my research and nesting folders helps me stay organized. A great program, a great price and worth every penny!
Newer versions are better and better. This is the best program for making notes or highlighting because you can assign labels to your notes so citing things later is quicker and easier. Worth every penny!

Like scrolling rather than page flipping

I like this app it is easy to use, much easier to use than other more popular apps. I like that the pages scroll continuously rather than flipping. The markup tools are nice.
The time stamps on annotations seem to be off from my system time, thought. I wish there was a way to close all open documents too. And I can't figure out how to change or delete my saved signature. I emailed support but didn't hear back (2days).
Really nice app. Feels like a good combination of business (skips the skeumorphic animations) and user-mindful.
------
Update: still a great app, the highlighting is still great and I like how the toolbars stay out of the way. Sometimes this app says pdf corrupted when I try to open in from other apps, but other than that I have been using this app exclusively over good reader.

Best work app ever

I can not say enough great things about this app... Besides I can do everything from this single app.. Sign documents, fill them in, just added slicing documents, annotate, highlight, add remove annotations!
I'm a rep, so for quick response, I get the signature while I'm in the office with Dr's or whomever, right then and there on my iPad, then complete the info later, and email that person completed document later!! My life is so less complicated, and not to mention, we are using way less paper, Eco-conscious!!
Totally worth the money for this app, especially with recent upgrades, and tech response is constantly updating requested applications!

I love this app - helping me become truly paperless

This is quickly becoming my full-time notebook. The annotating ability is pretty fantastic.
The silly 17+ rating is Apple Lunacy because the app has a built in web browser. That's it. Because it has a browser, you could have access to the Internet and get whatever you want.

ARE YOU #%^*+ KIDDING ME?!?

This app is ridiculously inexpensive considering how powerful it is. I was skeptical but since it was on sale I downloaded it to test a .PDF form I needed to fill in. Sorry, I can't give details about what I like about the app right now because I'm gobsmacked and shocked that it actually works.
I didn't want to download a $30+ program on my MacBook Air just to do what I can do on my iPhone for much less.
Incredible! Download this NOW while it's on sale! And when it's not on sale, you're still going to love it!
Wow. Just... Wow. Too powerful to be an iPhone app. Must be some magic involved...
Seriously. I can throw my computer away now - with this app, all I need is my iPad & iPhone. Sheesh.
One request: Offer a password protection option. Anytime documents are edited in an app, there is a potential for sensitive information to become vulnerable. Password protection eliminates this problem.

Powerful PDF Editor

Great job on this app. I haven't had it long but I have tested every aspect of the app and I am very impressed. It really does have all the functions of a full sized PDF editor. Everything works 100% on my iPhone 5. Anybody experiencing problems with this app, needs to call tech support... Because it's probably an ID 10 T error. :)))

Not as described.

Not happy with this at all. It is supposed to do forms also, I wanted something that would do both forms and freehand so I got this since so many reviewers said it works so well for both. I have no idea why people would say it works for that when it doesn't, but it doesn't and now I've wasted money for an app that doesn't work like it's supposed to. Maybe there isn't such a program, I don't know, but anyway this program is a huge disappointment. :(

I've been using the other pdf app in the past one year. It took me a while to convince myself to change to another one. But this app is great. A lot of extra functions and quite fast. I like it so far.

A lot better than the others

Some others don't save to the cloud, some others don't flip pages correctly, some others don't have all the tools, but this one has everything I need. I wish the tools are more better laid out, they seem to be convoluted.

Truly lives upto its name

Amazing pdf manager, realistic signature, easy to rearrange pages, easy to email multiple pdf documents and simplified intuitive user interface. I like the custom stamping feature, I use it to put a logo especially for PDF documents generated by some iOS apps wherein adding the logo was not possible.

Not bad, but

Seems to be good app, however it appears to me that using free adobe reader app is more convenient, since Max Pro crashes when I am clicking on highlighted text of the PDF document transferred from adobe app. Moreover, it takes 1,5 more space compared to other PDF apps when PDF files are downloaded into Max Pro, because of its many folders for each file with not necessary files in them.
So I am looking forward to fix of the bug.

Awesome

I like the ability to have a person sign a document and that I can store mine. The text boxes are a bit cumbersome but I don't know how else you could do it. If I setup a template on my Mac first I can even check mark boxes of options in the pdf... Good Job! Keep the features coming! :)

Good product, bad service

If you want to upgrade from the free version, use in app purchase, not download from app store. I downloaded from app store. And I couldn't import my books with notes in it. Then I tried restoring purchase, but I couldn't. Then it says to click "buy" and says paid users won't be charged. I got charged. I contacted the seller 2 days ago. No reply yet. I want my extra $5 back!

This is a very nice app for marking up PDF's. Functionality is very similar to the original software in that markups are done using very similar process although the steps are different due to the fact that this app is for a tablet. Well done!

Everything I've Wanted in a PDF app and more!

I rarely leave reviews, but this is one of the few apps that I feel deserves the feedback.
I've been searching for some time for a good PDF app. I was in need of an app that not only organized my PDFs well, but also allowed extensive notations. I regularly use PDFs that I need to make multiple and detailed highlights, underlines, and notes. This app works great for these things.
The integration with Dropbox is very well done. I also like that I can flatten my notations prior to moving the PDFs to any other app.
The absolute greatest thing about this app is the one feature I was not expecting. The ink feature allows you to take handwritten notes. You can start a blank page in a new file, or added to an existing file, and write away. I have tried many other note taking apps (such as Bamboo) and was always left wanting more. I had never found a zoom feature that was practical. However this note taking interface is truly inventive and the most useful thing I have found. It actually keeps us with my notes. Finally, I can use my iPad as I have always wanted.
This is truly 2 apps in one. A very pleasant surprise.

For those worried about the Mature Content Warning:
It includes a built in browser. All third party browsers include the warning. Because they aren't locked down by the Safari parental controls, a chd could possibly look at porn or another source of nudity.

The Best!

Ive always been self conscious about my hand writing when filling out documents. But with this app, it makes it a lot easier. It automatically highlights the blanks you will need to fill in your information; i just fill in the blanks. Printing or emailing the annotated PDF makes it even better. I highly recommend this app to anyone who fills out forms/document.

Don't be fooled by $8.99 for "Free"..

Price was obviously jacked up before adding to all free listings, as well.. Plenty of fake high ratings.
Great idea, but done so poorly. It creates PDFs with ZERO user input. You can't name it, you can't save it anywhere (immediate email only... and yes, I can email to my Dropbox address if I want), you can't convert it to a B/W PDF to save space, and the finished PDF "photo" is way too large of a finished file size.
On top of all of this, this fake "now free!!" Version is just a trial version. It has a watermark and it is limited... unless you upgrade to the Pro Version... Ahhhhh... which is the version we are supposed to be getting "free" here for a limited time. Good try guys. Some of us (yes, just some) aren't that stupid.
Oh, and like with all Apps that intentionally try to deceive the public, like this one... Obviously... I wouldn't EVEN trust them with my Dropbox login data. No way.

Best iPad PDF annotator I've used.

This app is the most powerful PDF annotation app I've been able to find thus far. It has several professional annotation standards like clouds and callouts. It also handles these features in a smooth and functional way. When it comes to PDF annotation the little things like automatic parametric constraints (horizontal and vertical, etc) can make all the difference in whether you'll actually use it or just wait until you get back to your computer before annotating. I can really see myself using this app in the future.
One request I have is to make the mark up capabilities more customizable. I would like to be able to be able to take the time to make a symbol I use often with a group of lines, arcs, circles, and rectangles, and then save it as a grouped scalable symbol for future use. Another thing that would make this my PDF software of choice would be custom line types. I am in the plumbing design field where line type is everything. Being able to make my own line types with different length dashes and text would make this app perfect for my needs. Thanks for the great app! Keep it up!

Great PDF reader

I really like this PDF reader. I don't do a lot of annotations, I mainly read PDFs. The Pro version of this app was free today, so I gave it a try. Things that I like include the upward scrolling and the fact that page numbers stay put at the bottom of the screen. It seems to render the PDFs quickly. The other reviews mention that it crashes, and I will agree that it crashed on me as well one time. I tend to believe it is related to the amount of free memory, as I shut down all other apps running in the background and even restarted my phone, and this app hasn't crashed since. Anyhow, I may make it my PDF reader of choice if it continues to deliver.

Good could be Great

I like this App. The interface is clean and the highlighting and annotations are easier and better than GoodReader. I would use this App exclusively if it stopped crashing when I search PDFs. If the developers are still working on this app It will be one of the better PDF viewers.
Pros: Folder View / File Management
Annotations and highlighting
Sound recording, but it does not allow reading other pages
while recording
Allow adding pages to PDF
Cons: Page navigation, needs scroll for pages
Search - crashes, but I like search result when it works
Large Files - does no handle large PDFs well
Added Pages go to end of document. In large documents
this is really a problem
Overall I really like this App I think they can out GoodReader if they continue to improve.
Request: New pages are added before or after current page,

Does Not Work

Crashed repeatedly. Can not be good if it does not work. Same PDF docs opened and edited perfectly in Goodreader, iAnnotate, and PDF Expert. I purchased because PDF MAX can allegedly reorder pages, which I can not do in other Apps. Useless until fixed and working. Then I will reinstall to try it out.
Tried it again. Still way too buggy. Crashes too much. Not able to handle more complex OCR PDFs, such as, hospital records. Also, handwriting feature not smooth and needs improvement. However, if the bugs fixed and weak features enhanced, the App does have potential.
