Surprisingly bad; one decent feature
I can barely stand this app. I thought Adobe could easily make the best PDF app out there given how long theyve been in the PDF business. I was wrong.
Annotating is a total pain. I strongly prefer PDF Expert Readdle). Even Notabilitys annotation tools are easier to use. E.g., The highlighter doesnt automatically highlight whole words, so you have to zoom in to a passage and carefully drag your finger just to get the highlighter to start/stop at the beginning/end of words — also the highlighting colors are dreadful, and highlights applied in the Reader app appear differently in other apps (e.g., highlights applied with 50% opacity in Reader show up as FULL opacity in other apps; its barely readable). Further undoing highlighting (which you have to do all the time since highlighting is so difficult in this app) is a two step process. It really seems like the developers want to disincentivize annotation or something.
Like many Adobe products, the UI is below average at best (perhaps average relative to a Windows environment).
The one thing that I really like: I can edit files in Dropbox and have my edits automatically saved back to Dropbox WITHOUT HAVING TO DOWNLOAD MY ENTIRE DROPBOX PDF LIBRARY TO MY PHONE — looking at you PDF Expert, Documents, etc. (Readdle).
I look forward to what this app may be like in the future. Surprisingly, this PDF app just doesnt hold a candle to the the PDF apps made by less well-known developers.
