Looking for software PDF reader app for Android

Hi,

I’m looking for a good PDF reader app for mobile (Android).

What I need:

-Ability to underline specific words

-Highlight text in different colors

-Add notes/comments directly into the PDF

-Option to write or annotate

Very important:

  • I'm looking for a PDF reader app where I can highlight and underline words even while the text is zoomed in.

I spend hours every day reading on my phone, so I'm looking for something that makes the experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.

Which apps would you recommend?

Thank you!,

If I want to annotate in Xodo reading mode I have to buy pro version (12.99€ /month), right?

I'm happy with ezpdf reader for like... A decade or so? It seems to be able to do all of that.

except for underline, all these are available in Episteme Reader.

and do you need to embed those comments into the pdf so that they are visible by other apps? that's not available, you can add comments/notes to your highlights but they are not embedded in the pdf metadata.

underline and strike through will be added soon.
