I’ve been reading more pdfs in my phone lately using the books app but was pretty disappointed in its features set for an app that supposedly specializes in reading.

I’m looking for a third party iOS app to read pdfs that allows me to change the font size of pages and also invert the pages Color’s from white page to black and text to white. Also I especially don’t want any data collected and no ads.

I thought you guys would know best any suggestions? Thank you

Side note: There was an incredible open source pdf viewer on android called MJ pdf, wish it was available on iOS

    I’m a big fan of PDF Expert. There’s a paid track for editing, but I believe viewing is free. I paid for editing a long time ago when it was on sale and I love it. I’d pay again if there was an Android version.

    The PDF format doesn’t lend itself to being able to adjust font sizes. You likely won’t find any app that has that feature.

    You’re reading books in PDF? You need to convert those to ePub if you wanna have a decent time.

      People in the reviews are saying you need to pay a subscription just to get dark mode is that true?

        My UI goes into dark mode but only txt files properly invert, PDFs (even with selectable text) just seem to dim… so I’m afraid so. Mine predates the subscription offering so I can’t test what that has.

    I don’t usually read pdfs on an iPhone but when I have to, I use the adobe reader as it will reflow the text to fit in the small screen
