Though I have multiple PDF readers/editors on my system, I prefer using ClaroPDF Pro on my iPad. Its unique feature of allowing users to modify the PDF background color stands out. Many advanced PDF readers only provide sepia and black/white options, which inadvertently alters the colors of images, graphs, and annotations—a completely undesirable effect. In contrast, Claro lets you pick any background color from the palette while preserving the original colors of images, graphs, and annotations. It's the ideal choice for those who experience eye strain from extensive reading but still want to enjoy the process of note-taking.

Doesn’t work. Always wants to convert to pdf even if the file is a pdf. Credits? I bought the app...shouldn’t have to have credits. Even the schools version is asking for credits. Trust your students when they tell you the app doesn’t work. What happened ? This program and app used to be good. Don’t waste your money.

No, no, no why would you do that!!! I use the app to read science research papers, to be in anyway readable I have to turn the phone to landscape mode. If you confine the app to portrait mode it will be unusable to me. I will not be updating until you roll that back. What numpty came up with that idea? Do you even consider asking your users how they actually use the app. I am seriously not happy, I use the App every day, and this mod will scupper me!!

Hi, I am a long-time user of this app. I have been using this app since 2014. I noticed that the recent software update is making the app crash all the time. I open a document and tap on a spot (for it to start reading) then the app crashes. This is happening over and over again. I am not sure why, because this app used to work very well earlier. Can you please fix this?

Works and uses given credits to convert to speech, can’t see how much credit but going by research it might be 5000 which should last me a while, can’t put on auto replay which is inconvenient to me as I wanted to replay to learn

Been using the free version and paid version of this program the last three months of this term as a student in a healthcare program - I upgraded to the paid version hoping for better stability (free version kept freezing entirely and have to restart program), settings, and voice options but really I have not noticed any great value and regret spending the money. It doesn’t freeze up at least. You also get a few more voice options of which still don’t sound that great (Tessa English (South Africa) has been the best so far and is one of the free voices). It also seems that I can adjust the readback speed in the paid version while in the free version when you adjust the speed it just goes back to where it was originally. Having a slider is really frustrating when trying to make slight adjustments. Having a feature to type exactly how many words per minute I want as well would be a great addition! - I’ve selected some of the pay for voices and getting to listen to them more than just for a short sentence I’m realizing I don’t like them but have not figured out how to return them so I can maybe select some thing else. - There’s no pause feature. Only start and stop. So if it stops you have to try and figure out where you left off last. - The reader will stop if you tilt your phone and the screen orientation changes. So you have to lock orientation. If you open up any other page or even the settings screen to lock orientation on an iPhone it will stop. Enabling “read in background” setting helps but it still is finicky. - There are two features both labeled as “speak on tap” under controls. I’m guessing the second one is supposed to be stop on tap and disabled it because it was obnoxious that anytime you even accidentally touched the screen it’ll stop and you have to find your spot again. - It stalls out. Even the paid version will just stop reading without reason. Of course, then you have look at your phone to try and figure out where you were which is not easy. - Trying to get the reader to start where you want on tap can be frustrating. Sometimes I have to tap a spot a few times before it’ll get the idea. In the meantime, either nothing will happen or it’ll start trying to highlight an area instead. - Sometimes it will get mixed up in what it’s reading and sound like gibberish or skip around if there is a graphic in the PDF. I have to stop it and skip ahead past the part it can’t comprehend. - When reading with highlight so you can follow along, It’ll jump the section it’s reading to the top which will be hiding underneath the menu bar so you can’t see it. When you drag the page down so you can follow, it’ll jump back to the top again at the next sentence hiding it again. Of course when I tap the screen to try and make the menu bar go away, then that causes it to stop and then I have to try and find my spot again. - It would be nice when looking in my folders to select a file that it would display the entire file name if you hover over it. Sometimes it’s hard to tell one from another if they’re all labeled similarly in a sequence and you can only see the first couple words at the beginning and at the end. I hope this feedback helps and that there are improvements made in future versions. I would request a refund and go back to the free version but the freezing up thing is very frustrating. Makes one wonder if that’s on purpose so that people will upgrade to the paid version?

This app is one of my favorite apps. However, it always opens in the screen where I have to choose a file from Files rather than to the normal view where I already have documents open from the previous times I’ve used the app. When it opens to Files when launching the app, I have to either find the document again from one of my file sources or open some random file just to get to already open documents. Please fix so that it opens to the last document that was opened, and if I want to open a new document, then make the user need to click on the Open Document icon.

Jeg er ikke ordblind, men har ufattelig svært ved at læse faglitteratur, fordi mit hoved skal overanalyser hver sætning i flere minutter ad gangen og så tager 1 side lige pludseligt meget lang tid at læse. Imens appen læser op læser jeg samtidigt med og appen “tvinger” mig til at læse videre og derved holder mig fra, at have de her ekstremt lange tænkepauser imellem hver sætning. Udtalen af ord på dansk kunne helt klart være bedre, men det er forståeligt og det er små ting i forhold til hvor meget det har hjulpet mig. Jeg har lige prøvet, at læse nogle sider og jeg har læst det langt hurtigere end jeg har turde drømme om. Jeg kan stærkt anbefale den her app, hvis man har samme problem som mig, det er alle pengene værd. Jeg bruger kun den her app, ikke de andre Claro apps
