STOP!!! READ Before you buy. This should be a BETA.

I LOVE PDF Expert for iOS. It is by far my favorite PDF editor for iOS. It is powerful, offers syncing, writing, editing, on and on and on…

DO NOT BUY THE MAC VERSION!

I don’t know who these people are giving PDF Expert these glowing reviews, but either they are paid shills, or are something else is going on.

It is absolutely, positively NOT WORTH THE MONEY! It is a gross mis-handeling of a product by Readdle to offer it at $60.

It does NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING that you can’t do with Preview. And it has MANY things it can’t do that Preview can:

- It CANNOT open PDFs with layers (like Preview can)
- It CANNOT export a PDF to another format (like Preview can)
- It crashes. Regularly. (Ok, like Preview does. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
- Simple things like thumbing through searches by hitting “Enter”. You have to manually go through the side menu. Wat?

I could go on, but the point is - don’t be in a rush. Preview is better and offers more features than PDF “Expert”.

I’m extremely dissapointed with this release. It needs to be a BETA for at leasy 6 more months.
