User reviews

Editor-ish

I’ve been using this app on and off since it’s inception. With “Pro” in the name, it implies you can edit PDFs as you wish. A simple edit feature is CROP. This app, esp for what it costs and calls itself, needs the ability to crop a PDF, not just appear as cropped within the app.

I emailed their support asking for how to apply a CROP to a file, and their reply was “it only appears cropped in the app.” Thanks. I found a roundabout workaround to save the crop as a new file, but it’s not intuitive AT ALL. To the Devs: fix this and I will revise my review.

Need feature

Please add invert color for pdf file

GoodReader

It is an extraordinary filing cabinet and very accessible for retrieving documents

Needs bookmark share feature

I bought goodreader app months ago and I added bookmarks to the files. Now I purchased this expensive app and I cannot move bookmarks from old goodreader to this pro version. WTF! You need to enable bookmark sharing featuring from the same app.

Missing:

I love the app, but I have a suggestion. This might be an impossible ask, but I’m a pilot and desperately need a proper night mode. Please please please consider doing this. It would be great to make a bright white document with black letters, have a black background with white letters. So much easier on the eyes…and battery. 🙏
