I use PDFelement on my desktop and would not recommend any other app for anyone working with PDF frequently. It's the best one I have found, you edit, sign, create, search, and so much more with this app. I have been using it for over 5 years. I use the mobile app version mainly for viewing, so I can't speak on what the mobile version does, but it looks to have most if not all the same features as the desktop version. I have the yearly Pro plan, so I'm not sure what the free plan comes with.

Excellent app. Versatile and easy to use but I need to edit my recent review because after the Pro mode expired and switched to the free version, a series of watermarks appeared throughout the document, making it completely inconvenient to read. It's perfectly acceptable for the free version to have usage limitations, but if these limitations go beyond what's comfortable for the reader, they become annoying. Under these conditions, it's impossible to share information properly. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. We provide a free trial, allowing users to explore and experience the app before making a purchase. However, it does include a watermark on the completed files or a usage limit. If you wish to save files without a watermark, upgrading to the premium version will unlock membership benefits.

Deceptive practices. They hide the true cost. Paid version will not translate a PDF doc on Android, stupid AI just translate one page, then you have to pay for more tokens, like im a game. Also you have to pay for each device, Android, Windows etc, even tried Windows which is very expensive, but buried in the fine print it will only translate 50 pages then you have to purchase additional tokens, what a joke. I canceled my subscription through Google Play store, but they will not issue a refund
