This app is a total disappointment. I can't edit a PDF because the app keeps wanting to zoom in on stuff and it's hard to bring up the options I need. Even worse, there's too much emphasis on AI gimmicks. I have uninstalled the app because I am not going to give myself a migraine while trying to use it again. Will there ever be a free PDF editor app with no ads that's easy to use and doesn't shove AI down my throat? Unfortunately, the answer is no...

Desktop version is excellent, but android version is in it's primary stage. Needs lots of improvements like - (1) Search option in table of contents (2) Improve 'search' from home page (3) Resize and rearrange favourite icons in grid view(home) (4)Improve horizontal scroll and should fit to screen and many more things

Have been using Xodo for a long time. They decided to convert the app payable with a monthly subscription. Couldn't do anything with the free version. This app looks very good. Tested for some features like, signatures, highlight and it works flawlessly. Good work.
