Unable to open large filesUnable to open large files and application becoming more sluggish after each update.

Expensive for what I needOn personal use level this is very expensive I would not waste my limited cash on premium features I would rarely use. Absolutely expensive for the average person on a tight budget.

EBIPad, Sep 5, 2026

26.08.00 terribly slowAlmost impossible to read pdf. Very very slow. After clicking on a pdf on iPad, it takes more than 5 to 10 minutes to open the file based on size. Even 10 MB pdf takes several minutes to open. Unable to use reader
