I use PDFelement on my desktop and would not recommend any other app for anyone working with PDF frequently. It's the best one I have found, you edit, sign, create, search, and so much more with this app. I have been using it for over 5 years. I use the mobile app version mainly for viewing, so I can't speak on what the mobile version does, but it looks to have most if not all the same features as the desktop version. I have the yearly Pro plan, so I'm not sure what the free plan comes with.

Very disappointing experience. I bought the perpetual license on my phone thinking it would work on my desktop too, but later I found out mobile and PC licenses are separate. This was not clearly explained during purchase. Now they want me to pay again for the desktop version, which is too expensive. Feels misleading and unfair. Not recommended.

To address your concern, each single-platform license is tied to a specific operating system. This means a Windows license can only be used on Windows PCs, a macOS license only on Macs, and a mobile license only on the corresponding mobile device. They are not cross-platform compatible.

I have used PDFelement for about 7 years. It allows for modifications and joining multiple documents into one file making it easy to save or send to a third party. Overall it is a great tool for document storage and sharing.
