App does its job but hate the bizarre logo.. the cartoon angry black man looks unprofessional and amateurish. Wouldn't usually care but I have to see it on every desktop shortcut I make (the app's only purpose). Either change it or at least add option to change it to something else.

Very easy to create pdf or image file shortcuts to home screen. Open file -> Share -> Shorty/Add to Home Screen. Allows specifying text on the icon.

Amazing app! I don't like the idea of relying on Drive and cellular data to access PDFs fast and on the move. This app is perfect!
