Description

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.

Best PDF reader organiser and transfer mechanism

Boomer user55 on

I have used GoodReader for 6 or 7 years and found it to be the most reliable and flexible tool for working with PDF documents. My wife now uses it as well. Using airdrop to sync and move documents between devices is so easy.

I’ve used GoodReader happily for years

One of those apps that I think of as built-in. Usage is flawless and the app works well. I have all my pdfs in iCloud so I can read them on any device. I have bought one upgrade in the many years I’ve owned this app.

Failure to receive support email

Out of all the apps I have, this definitely is one of the best.

Disappointing, $$ Grubbing

I used to have an earlier version of the free GoodReader but had to update the version I had to use it after an iPad update. This new version doesn’t include features my old version had. Split screen is now not included and was previously. It is a feature I use regularly. Now I’m asked to pay $30 a month to access this. NO! I’ll be using a different app.

Absolutely favorite iOS app

am-gems on

Been using this forever. I don’t typically user it every day, so I can’t really say why it is my fav, it just always has been. Typically, I have folders full of MP3 files which I share between desktop and various iOS devices. I use them for language study. None of the other cloud storage apps have a decent MP3 player interface. Dropbox: no. ICloud: no, etcetera. The GoodReader support for MP3’s in folders has always been just what one would expect. For years, I got free updates after purchasing the initial version. Recently, I purchased the Pro Pack, not because I necessarily want to use the Pro Features. Mainly because I like to vote with my $$ for excellent s/w.

Was once a great app

AmDisappinted on

I must acknowledge, that the PDF file management within the GoodReader app is still great and very functional. This once groundbreaking app has failed to keep up with technological advancements. The developer hasn't implemented available APIs, making file management challenging unless done locally after downloading from cloud services. This outdated approach is not in line with modern working practices. Moreover, the developer seems unwilling to update this formerly top-rated app. Its current version is hard to use due to a cluttered interface that doesn't follow Apple's design guidelines, making it seem complicated compared to comparable apps. I can’t believe the the developer has allowed this app to now be relegated to a lower class division given it had at least a 8-year head start on the competition.

Very good

Absolutely the best.
