What’s new
Version 1.3 · Updated September 11, 2026
• New weekly plan, next to monthly and yearly. • The yearly plan now starts with a 7-day free trial instead of 3. • Editing text in a PDF is more reliable: characters missing from a document's own font no longer show up as empty boxes, and a replacement stays inside its table cell. • Redesigned for iOS 26 — floating glass bars in the reader, library and tools.
