Missing functionalities

My paid job includes a lot of PDF annotation. This tool is gorgeous and well designed. I used it with my surface and notebook. After 1h working with this awesome tool, features missing to me so far are 1) in the insert text mode the ability to select the font and choose the sizes smaller than 8. 2) having a colored texted boxes around the inserted texts (e.g. compare the tool with pdf-xchange). 3) shortcuts do not work really (e.g. I tried ctrl+z for undo) 4) ability to zoom with respect to the width (ctrl+2 shortcut in many advanced tools) 5) inserting comments on highlighted texts by double clicking on them. 6) ability to delete, insert, or crop pages.

WARNING requires subscription for some services

This requires a subscription for some features... See the "PRO" version list. Please urge app authors to stop subscription based applications. I would consider paying a quite a bit more for this app to avoid a subscription, and to own the app.

Pretty good app but...

I was planning to buying it earlier and when I decided to purchase a full copy I was surprised with a subscription-based pro version. I don't mind that they have a subscription but I think they have to decide what defines a full app and give it to the people who bought it and then any extra feature they want to have can be set on the subscription base.

In app purchases to unlock features.

After having to pay for this app, I am very disapointed that in order to access a lot of the features, especially the new one, or if you want to use the surface dial there is an in app purchase to unlock these things, the even more disappointing thing is that its a subscription, so its not a buy it once and own it for life, I have to subscribe in order to access features in an app that I have again, already purchased, I will be looking for a replacement for this app, wish I was able to refund this poor decision.

Best app ever.

This is exactly what's needed for working on eBooks and PDFs with a device like Surface. Works great. (especially since Edge doesn't let you annotate PDFs) Considering purchasing it to support the developer even though it was preinstalled with Surface. This makes me like my Surface even more.

Cannot purchase PRO version to own, subscription only

I would pay a high price for the "Pro" version but unfortunately it's only offered as a subscription. I need the features offered at the Pro level but, like many others, I'm not willing to pay monthly into something I cannot own. Please just make the software available to purchase. The software is good but I am shopping for an alternative.

Misleading pricing

I thought when I bought the program it would give me access to the Pro features... turns out that's a separate subscription. Without that, it has exactly the same features as the free Reader app provided by Microsoft. Waste of $10.

Almost perfect

Very easy writing on a PDF. That's just what I need. sometimes it freezes up and crashes. The one feature I need that it's missing is the ability to copy and paste. PLEASAE ADD COPY AND PASTE. Other than the crashing and lack of copy/paste it's very good.

Very nice so far. Great job on the changes.

I am enjoying the new set up. The file bar was a good idea. I have the surface 2. It seems that some wheel functions do not work properly. The note and text functions are not operating properly as it use to. I also found that under insert, shapes, lines it seem to not connect on very small drawn lines between two sentences. Also is it possible to highlight texts and notes.

Verison 5

Update did a good job on Speed, but now the open items seem to be more unclear to read. Almost there.
