Adobe Reader not working

Adobe Reader is not working at all on my iPhone or iPad. Tried to download a document from online and it won't go through and it says "Adobe Reader needed to download." I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it but it didn't work and rebooting my phone and iPad didn't work either.
