Pros and cons of PDF Split&Merge app for iPhone and iPad

PDF Split&Merge app good for

Convenient to split pdf files (or merge separate files). However have to be associated with apps like goodreader to properly manage created files
Simple and effective App to delete, insert or re-order pages among pdf files. Exporting a sub-range of pages (spliting) and inserting pages from another pdf (merging) is also possible. Changing preview sizes always gets back to the first page of the document, annoying on long documents.
I needed an app to easily create a new PDF from a couple existing PDFs and this works perfectly. Love how easily you can choose your pages and then I use another app to organize my files. Seamless. Im in the financial services industry and this is for daily use when I submit new business. A very well made and solid app. Rare to find.
* * * * * My apologies for the low rating I gave before.
Excellent program for compiling multipage PDF files from scanner or other sources. Also excellent for stripping unwanted pages from PDFs generated from web pages. One of my most useful apps, used often with Epson Print and Scan. Use this App to help get you to a paperless system by generating pdfs from all your household documents.
Update: when you rename a file before exporting or emailing be sure to add ".pdf" to the end of the file name. When it works it works buy most of the time "open in" and mail features dont do anything. I select the pages, hit the arrow and select the name for the document and then export and nothing happens. It doesnt bring up the list of other apps. I tries rebooting the iPad and reinstalling the app but to no avail. Same on my iPhone.

Some bad moments

Do the job, but resize the pages (zoom out) up to show larger margin s and control points. Readability is thus worsen.
Perde i testi ruotati! exporting text rotated, they are lost! You can correct or be refunded?
I dont understand why developers are allowed to Keep their content in the app store when it is not compatible with the most recent version of iOS. Well using the most recent version on an iPad Pro… You are completely unable to open a single PDF file. It was pretty clear this was going to happen from the moment that I saw screenshots that were out of date on the home screen which provided instructions on how to open PDF files. It simply doesnt work!
It does what it says, but would be good if theres an option to delete pages.
Please fix crashing at many places. Did what I want to but not efficiently.
This app does an ok job at merging two PDF files. It is VERY slow (on iPad 2 with only PDF expert running) to load pages, and export them. Overall it is a little clunky to use. I would have given it five stars if it were free; I would have paid $5 if it was faster and had more functionality (e.g. the ability to zoom on a doc to remember which page is which).
