Products

Documents

Documents (previously ReaddleDocs) is a file management application.[9] The app was Readdle's first product, and was developed because co-founders Alex Tyagulsky and Andrian Budantsov wished to be able to read books on their iPhones.[7] It was initially released as a Safari-based web service in 2007.[10] Later, Apple asked Readdle to submit the app (then called ReaddleDocs) to become one of the 500 apps available on the App Store when it launched on July 10, 2008.[11] After Wall Street Journal writer Walt Mossberg endorsed the app, sales increased ninefold, netting the company $500–1000 a week.[7] In 2013, the app rebranded as Documents.[12]

PDF Expert

PDF Expert is a PDF editing app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.[13][14] The app allows a user to read, annotate and edit PDFs, change text and images, fill in forms and sign contracts.[15]

PDF Expert was initially launched for iOS in 2010 for the first iPad and is now supported on the iPad, iPhone, and Mac.[16]

Spark

Spark is an email application for Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android devices.[20][21][22][23][24] Lifehacker wrote that Spark was the best alternative for Mailbox users when that service went offline.[25] It was released on April 2, 2019, and was Readdle's first app released on Android.[26]
