How is the ordering & website of Xodo?
Customers have mixed feelings about Xodo’s ordering and website experience, with a clear majority expressing dissatisfaction. Reviewers report frequent issues with subscription management, including unexpected charges and difficulty canceling or getting refunds, particularly after app updates. Many also highlight problems with core functionality, such as broken sharing features, unresponsive navigation, and persistent, non-dismissible UI elements that disrupt the user experience. While some users praise the app’s free features, simplicity, and performance, these positives are outweighed by recurring complaints about usability and transparency. Over time, the overall sentiment has fluctuated but remained largely negative, with a brief improvement in early 2026 before dropping again. The trend suggests ongoing instability in the app’s core systems and user interface, despite occasional positive feedback on specific features.
What customers praise
Many customers appreciate Xodo’s free version, calling it simple, ad-free, and highly functional. Users highlight the ability to open multiple files at once, import and export various file types, and use the app without lag. The lack of advertisements and the clean interface are frequently mentioned as strong points. Some reviewers even describe it as the best PDF and book reader available on the Play Store. These positive experiences are often tied to the app’s core functionality rather than the ordering or website process.
What customers said:
- „came for the onedrive integration“
- „sometimes it we need to study two pdfs at once we have to use different apps“
- „user friendliness“
Common complaints
Common complaints center on subscription management and app stability. Customers report being charged immediately upon subscription activation, with no clear opt-out or trial period. Several users say they were unable to cancel or receive refunds, especially through Apple’s system. Others describe the app failing to open after updates, sharing buttons not working, and persistent banners that cannot be disabled. These issues are seen as disruptive, especially for students relying on the app for exams and study.
What customers said:
- „after scanning 10 pages when click ok save it hangs“
- „I was not able to share a file I prepared“
- „Can't even share a file opened with this in the free version“
How it has changed over time
The app’s performance and user experience have shown inconsistent improvement over time. Ratings dipped to 2.25 stars in August 2026 after a spike in negative feedback, particularly around broken features and poor UI decisions. However, there was a brief rise to 3.65 stars in June 2026, possibly due to temporary fixes or fewer complaints. The overall trend remains negative, with recurring issues like unresponsive gestures, autosave warnings, and lack of customization persisting across updates. This suggests that changes are not consistently resolving core problems.
What customers said:
- „I uninstalled and re-installed the app and no success“
- „if I try to move diagonally to next side the response would be like moving left and…“
„if I try to move diagonally to next side the response would be like moving left and right or up and down“
- „There should be a 3 day free trial without signing up for a subscription you have to…“
„There should be a 3 day free trial without signing up for a subscription you have to cancel.“
Practical takeaways
For users considering Xodo, the app’s free version offers strong value with no ads and solid core features. However, the subscription process and website experience are risky, users report unexpected charges and poor support for cancellations. The app’s interface is inconsistent, with some features working well while others fail entirely. If you rely on file sharing, multi-file viewing, or a clean workspace, proceed with caution. The app may work for basic use, but reliability and user control remain major concerns.
What customers said:
- „only in the second attempt it activates the diagonal moment every time“
- „the attempt I made to test the pages were out of order“
- „₹1,199 was deducted immediately after activating the subscription“
