Awful, outdated and non-functional
I write this review to warn other people from buying this app. I am convinced the devs do not even use their own app. First of all, this app shows its age and not in a good way. It has a super outdated interface. Everything is needlessly complicated. It does not have simple features from modern PDF apps such as only allowing freehand drawing with the Apple Pencil. Instead, it still relies on an outdated palm rejection sliding region that was popular when the only way to handwrite on the iPad was with a capacitive touch stylus. Other than that, the WebDAV sync is very hit or miss, which is the only reason I bought the app, and even when it works, the freehand annotations are pixelated. I asked for a refund because honestly, even the free Apple Preview app does a much better job at doing the job. It’s not as if you could actually edit the PDF (only annotate), so the name is misleading. What a terrible waste of money and what an insult to charge so much for an untested app.

Reliable and Focused
I purchased GoodReader Pro many years ago. At the same time, I have owned and used a number of other PDF reader and Editor programs. I continue to come back to GoodReader for the particular areas and features where it excels. In the areas it focuses on, I have found it to be very effective and a pleasure to use.

Erstellen und Bearbeiten sehr dürftig
Das Erstellen brauchbarer Dokumente ist nicht möglich. Die Schreibwerkzeuge sind sehr umständlich zu bedienen und die Funktionen sehr rudimentär.
Es gibt nur die Schrift Typewriter.
Das ist oft nicht brauchbar.
Das Öffnen bearbeiteter PDF-Dateien führt häufig dazu, dass zuvor eingefügte Elemente nicht übernommen oder nicht korrekt dargestellt werden.
Weshalb lassen sich Unterschriften nicht abspeichern und wiederverwenden?
Am Mac ist die Bedienung noch schlechter. Es gibt keine sinnvolle Maus- oder Tastatur-Unterstützung.

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. 🙏

GoodReader Pro
Well it is a great app. I paid for the pro version as a good gesture of support. It was tedious moving data from old Godreader to the pro version. There was not a lot of room left on the iPad. This was very disappointing, as I thought GoodReader would simply upgrade to the new version without having to transfer data. I also see very little difference between the regular and pro version.
I thank the developer for adding a one time pay option as I do not subscribe to software, but I am glad to support developers with a one time fee. However, as far as features are concerned, it feels like throwing away money.
Again, it really is a five star app. I use it daily. I gave it four stars only because, I don’t see much of any advanced features.

Great support
I use this app nearly every day for saving, viewing and editing PDF documents. Support is great and they reply quickly to my support requests.
Reliable and really straightforward for pdfs
Really enjoy the service as it has many additional features which are great but my personal favorite thing regarding this application is that it is really great for its purpose of viewing pdfs, searching albeit the annotation tools could be better but still it is unparalleled for its purpose.
Almost perfect
Experiencing some App crashes ; wishlist : a true text reflow, not just text extraction with some graphic unredeable milestones.
I have been asking for service and you’ve been ignoring me.
For the past several years, I have been unable to access files through dropbox using the GoodReader app. I don’t know what happened because in the past, I was able to do that. For the past two or three years, I have been unsuccessful in accessing dropbox. Each time I get an error note that says we would to investigate the issue. Well I’m still waiting.

The Best PDF reader
I use this app literally every day. It’s quick, organized, and has good features. I love the fact that I can mark up a document on one of my iDevices and the annotations will automatically show up in a different iDevice. I just wish they had a PC version of the app, which I’d happily pay for!
Outstanding App
Goodreader is my most used app for storing PDF and other file types. I’d be digitally lost without it. I forget how many years ago I bought the app; however, I do know that I was one of the early users. My advice: study and get to know and use the app’s features. You’ll come to rely on it as I have.

Poor editing options
To annotate and edit text is pretty limited.
The app offers one fonts only.
It is not possibly to copy and paste content from text boxes.
And why can’t signatures not saved as templates?
But digital signatures would be the correct feature.
Why isn’t it possible to create, proof and manage keys?
Why is the functionality so weak?
Also poor:
It’s not possible to look up in the iOS’s dictionary or web for definitions or translations.
It would be great too, if libraries based on links could be shared between devices and people’s accounts.
