So much not free

Paywall palooza
     
by Paywall/AI/ poor tablet · December 6, 2025

One paywall after another, the “cloud version” is extremely glitchy on the iPad with the dialog boxes opening offscreen and trapping the user, and it sounds like I’m doing Morse code as it take some random number of presses to open or select anything. Such better free options out there than this. Seems to be to busy pushing AI product then supporting the existing system.

Still outstanding

For years you have been outstanding. Congratulations

No help from company
     
by LtCRembert · September 19, 2025

I purchased the mobile version and yet, I continually get pop ups asking me to purchase it when it clearly shows in my apple account I have already purchased it. It is not working well and no one will respond to help me.

One piece to perfection
     
by NoNameForNowAndForever · September 30, 2025

I cannot paste copied image directly from keyboard clipboard, so I have to save image to gallery then import it in foxit (which is 1. Annoying 2. Gallery turns into mess due to tons of one-time-use screenshots.. If you could solve this, then it will be the number 1 for sure…

Frustrating
     
by The Big Byrd · February 5, 2026

I use Foxit Phantom on my PC, and for the most part I’m happy with it. All I’m trying to do with PDF Editor is highlight and make some notes on a PDF but it closes often making it extremely frustrating and unusable.

Great and Really Low-Consumption app
     
by Espahbod · June 26, 2026
