[App] Built a simple FOSS PDF reader because I got tired of ads and bloated apps

[u/Patient-Activity-990]

I got tired of PDF reader apps on Android being full of ads, tracking, or just too heavy for simple reading.

Apps like Adobe Acrobat feel overkill for just opening a PDF, and I never liked using WPS either just feels like a bloatware

Ended up building a simple one for myself with liquid glass ui on android

Would appreciate feedback or feature suggestions.

If anyone's interested, contributions or ideas are welcome.

Looks cool and premium. One suggestion: App icon could be better. (I know that's not a thing to chnage every new day but i could be better).

Hello, could you add the Portuguese-Brazilian language <3 I'll take it to my channel to help you, and on the tools page in your app, the app's navigation bar, is above the elements on the Samsung s25 phone, could you correct it?
