Xodo PDF Reader & Scanner App Reviews

Perfect for reading and making notes on PDF textbooks

It still have some issues, I follow the instructions about how to use the functions but some of those functions do not appear in the toolbar and erases or disappear some of writing if you move to continue writing to another page. Not often but at times it stops working and close itself erasing everything you wrote.

XODO is free and does a good job as a reader with possibility of adding remarks or underlie. It could improve if: 1. Remove the lens effect while underlying words. It really distracts. 2. Connect to other clouds, such as Box and Google Drive.

This is the best PDF assignment. I have a windows 8 laptop that has limited pdf editors but since I downloaded this app I was able to save and transfer documents between my phone and my laptop! Best app ever

Give this a try! When I first started it, it felt a little clunky but once you get use to it all the features are fantastic. Just a all around perfect PDF reader ,you wont regret using this one!

This is good app for annotating, filling forms in pdf files. But the number of clouds it support is few, please add Box and Google Drive.

Useful. Should be popular given time.

Xodo is the best reading app Ive ever used. Some suggestion: 1. Hope Xodo support Mac OS & Windows 7, so I can edit my file on laptop. 2. Hope Xodo support more cloud platform, such as box and baidu cloud platform (In China, dropbox and box are blocked. Considering the user amount in China, its an opportunity for Xodo team to add this feature.).

I have been looking everywhere for an app that works on iPad, AND on the web. I thought Xodo would be my solution as it has a Google Drive app that allows you to annotate from Google Drive, AND a working iPad app. However I was disappointed to see that while I was asked to create a Xodo account for the web app, the iPad app doesn’t talk to the Xodo web account in any way. There is no way to login and access the files you’ve accessed online, or from Google Drive. In addition, you cannot save a file that overwrites another file in Google Drive. I wish the account would at LEAST communicate with the Online Xodo platform so that you could look at pdfs you’ve access online from a different device, and save it all in one area, so you could edit from multiple devices. The Xodo connect feature doesn’t work well and is stunted. Could be a great app but still needs more work.

Amazing app just lacks iphone 6s support.

It does what it says it does. However, there are better apps out there that accomplish the same task. The user interface is not as intuitive, and PDFs take much longer to render correctly than competing apps. Its free, so not expecting the same quality as paid apps. However, not as good as other free options out there.

It does what it says but needs to be updated.! There are better readers than this providing features like Tabbed reading, better search functionality and others.

Lets me keep my annotated papers synced through Dropbox with zero hassle. Annotation tools are easy to use and are read by other programs correctly. My only wish is that the recent documents list would function correctly...

Ive been waiting for this! Im in grad school and try to do most of my reading on my iPad (MUCH lighter than lugging around all the texts!). I can open and highlight/underline/make notes in an eBook in iBooks and/or Kindle. Both will read a "proper" PDF and allow you to underline, etc... but they "see" a scanned PDF as one piece, as a picture. Because of this, the nifty highlight, underline & tagging features dont work (they dont recognize text). Xodo processes a scanned PDF in the same way - as a picture - but it allows me to write in free-hand on top of it. So I can underline, circle, draw in arrows, or... and this is the biggest thing for me... write in the margins. With a good fine-point stylus, its like writing in a textbook. Im hooked and Im grateful! Two more things: Thing 1 - the user interface is simple and intuitive - unlike other apps I looked at, this one made sense and did what it was supposed to right off the bat. Thing 2 - Xodo offers more options for regular ark-ups, such as more than one color for underlining. The only drawback I found is: I save my work to a dropbox. Mark-ups that I did on a Galaxy tablet were not legible when opened with my iPad. Thats fine - I returned the Galaxy, problem solved. But it may be helpful to know.

Since I came back to iOS I was looking for an app that could help me take notes while I read my manuals and this app is very awesome. Quick highlights, notes, etc. I highly recommend it.

Just right!

I does what it is supposed to do!

This app is amazing. With it I dont have to print stuff out and I can write down whatever I want on it.

I love this app for quick reading. It is extremely easy to highlight and annotate.

Works great for PDF markup. If your file is in Dropbox and you have Internet, you can markup and it will save the edits in Dropbox. But if you are offline, then you can only save the copy in Xodo, and then you have to copy that file to Dropbox in order to get the edits, which is a hassle if youre marking up several files on an airplane. Anyway, I like how I can write with a stylus, highlight with the cursor, or type a little sticky-note box (and yes toy can see those in Preview when you open the file on your Mac)!
