Description of GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer

First released in 2009, GoodReader® is truly a veteran of the App Store. In the modern app business, it's not easy to stay relevant that long. We're proud to say that after 13 years and counting, we've been delivering wonderful updates with extraordinary new features. And we're going to keep doing that! GoodReader is a perfect combination of document-reading and file-managing capabilities. It's your one-stop shop for all your document needs on your iOS device. Use the app once, and you'll be hooked. Soon you'll be wondering how you ever managed to work without it. -= File Reading =- PDF, TXT, MS Office, iWork, HTML, pictures, music & audio-books, videos. This is what you can view in GoodReader, plus you can also annotate PDF files and edit TXT files. -= PDF Reading and Annotating =- PDF files is where GoodReader truly shines. Reading experience is so superior, it's hard to describe. To rephrase one of our customers' review, "try it, and you'll see." While you're at it, give our PDF Reflow feature a try. You'll be surprised how much better PDF reading goes when you don't have to scroll left/right all the time, for every single line of text. Annotating PDFs is another star feature of our app. Adding notes and drawings, highlighting text, and then sharing your annotated files or annotation summaries will be your main productivity and collaboration asset. -= File Management =- While reading files is a big part of GoodReader, it's not all it can do. It can also serve as a central hub for all your files, even those that can't be opened by GoodReader itself. It's like bringing your personal computer experience to your mobile device — easily managing huge collections of files and folders will make you forget you don't have your laptop around. -= Connecting =- Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box.com, WebDAV, SMB, AFP, FTP, SFTP — these are all accessible from inside GoodReader. Download, upload, and sync (*) individual files or huge folder collections. -= Security =- With GoodReader, your data security steps up to the level previously only dreamt of. With Pro Pack® (*), our new set of professional-level super-features, you'll get AES-256, a military-grade encryption, for all your data, at a price of a cup of coffee! And it's completely independent from the built-in Apple's Data Protection, so even if a hacker steals and unlocks your device, your data will still be protected by another strong layer of security, our own. -= Split-Screen =- This wonderful feature allows you to split (*) an iPad screen in half, to read two files side-by-side. And even two different parts of the same file! (*): This feature requires a subscription to Pro Pack®, sold separately from inside the app as an in-app purchase.

Reviews of GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer

  • PDF to speech has become unreliable

    GoodReader used to be a fantastic way to listen to PDF files. While there are better sounding alternatives, they use custom voices that really drain phone batteries quickly. GoodReader uses the built in phone voice which is much more power efficient at a still acceptable level of quality. Sadly, it will now only read one page at a time. After each page the speech stops and the remaining pages of the PDF document all appear blank. The only way I know to recover is to close and reopen the document. One can then restart speech on any page but it will stop again at the end of that page. GoodReader is no longer a practical way to listen to PDF documents as one would listen to an audiobook. The issue might have something to do with the app entering a semi-idle state after the screen goes dark and the phone locks. I think the developer is missing out on a really big opportunity because of the popularity of audiobooks. I hope the text to speech feature is restored in the future. GoodReader would then be a five star app one more.
  • More popup ads for subscription service

    (11/22) still spamming popup ads for the "pro pack" and not respecting parental controls. Fell far from the good reader it used to be, that provided a helpful tool and stayed out of the way. Check out how the developer replies deflect feedback and how they treated customers from when they were small. Not seeing how they care about us. :( who did this to you?

    (2/22) pop up up sells continue to be displayed, not respecting screen time parental control settings .- used to have a nice clean ui and focused on serving users, but new patch has interrupting popups advertising a subscription service that dont appear to respect the parental control settings in screen time. if you bought recently, consider requesting a refund Update 5/24 even more popup ads I was glad to hear from the developer but I had bought pro upgrade as an in app purchase. There is now a subscription called pro upgrade and it is popping up again in displays in app advertisements for the subscription when the parental control settings are set for advertisements not to be shown. Please understand many of the purchases and reviews are based on the older versions which were cleaner and did not show pop up ads during use. Although the developers reply, addition in app ads continue to be displayed against the user settings in parental controls. Update 7/23 more popup ads about the subscription
  • An unacceptable user experience

    I think I’ve had every version of this app since it was first released. I’m an academic and reading/annotating PDFs fills much of my day. What’s unacceptable about GoodReader? (1) The user-interface is atrocious, requires constant, cumbersome interactions to do anything, and is non-customizable in any meaningful way. (For God’s sake, let me pick what the Apple Pencil does when I use it. Don’t make me constantly hit save after every interaction. Let me pick which widgets I want displayed on the screen.) GoodReader could be used in a CS or HCI class as an example of how not to design a GUI. It really is that clumsy and badly designed. (2) After all this time, there is still no setting to ignore annotation input from anything other than an Apple Pencil on an iPad. Your fingers and palm will constantly draw on your document. Utterly astonishing this basic feature, which other apps have had for years, is still missing here. Its best features are its sync capabilities, but the glaring failures in user-interactions can’t be overlooked. This is now an app of last resort and best avoided if you need to interact with PDFs more often than once a month.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for sharing your criticisms and suggestions. We’ll take them under consideration as we continue to develop improvements and new features. Please e-mail support@goodreader.com to give us more details about the customization options you'd like to see. We'd appreciate it!
