CLUSTER DOCUMENTS-MOBILE-PDF-2 · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-02-03
PDF editing apps for iOS
This cluster consists of mobile apps for viewing, editing, annotating, and organizing PDF documents on iPhone and iPad. The dated history shows sporadic early entries in Feb and Mar 2025, a long pause, then a small cluster in Apr, Jun, and Jul ʼ26; the timeline shape is too thin to read a strong trend from these six pre-index entries. Traction leaders, based on activity signals, are PDF Editor & Sign PDF: DocHero, followed by PDF Reader Pro: Scan & Convert, and PDF Text Editor ‑ Edit PDF, all currently showing 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
