GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer

Support responded immediately and with solution to a very serious app crash. The GoodReader app is the most important app on my ecosystem which has allowed me to unlock my iPad device in a way similar to a laptop. I will always support this app and remain consistently impressed by it. Thank you GoodReader team!

I have been using the GOOD READER APP for quite a number of years now and I am very happy it’s so user friendly and I have everything at my fingertips

Absolute must have for iPhone

Excellent for collecting & managing diverse documents, books, papers. One can carry a veritable library on one’s iPad.

GoodReader has proven invaluable as a PDF reader during my D&D sessions. Smooth vertical scrolling in a 2-page view makes it feel like I’m reading the actual book.

And I’ve been using it since 2010

GoodReader is a magnificent app & in its category the very best of breed. It’s versatility & easy to use, among its many features, are far superior to any other similar app. Strongly recommended.

2020: i accidentally upgraded my spare phone to the current version. it is beyond awful! the interface has been designed by a kid with a brick. bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, etc... ugly, confusing, takes up more screen space. menu bar jumps from bottom to top of screen, no coherent concept of completing or exiting a function... the developer seems to have lost the concept that icons can communicate a function that might have a long word to describe it, but a neat little icon could do the same, more elegantly, more easy to read, less screen space required... 0 points out of several million for UX 2019: ghastly green interface, weird ‘button’ shapes, confusing layout of tools, ugly, ugly design. no UI improvements anywhere... earlier: handles PDFs really well & syncs with both local networks & cloud systems. a must have for any kind of work needing PDFs, images or work documents to sync & take on the road

Cannot sing the praises of this app enough. It revolutionized the way I study. Addicted, yes, to an app, seriously! Just get it, try out all the functions. Download pdf’s and play around with it, see for yourself what this app can do. Extract pages, sign them, email, shuffle around organize into folders, etc etc etc. love love love.

I have tried many pdf readers over the years. Nothing comes close to this app. It is elegant & it’s array of features is mind boggling. This is like a desktop app ported to iOS. It has an 8 file limitation inherited from the OS where you cannot open more than 8 files simultaneously. It also does not support multitasking. There are ways that the developers could get around these issues. However, there does not appear to be a willingness to do this. I therefore use multiple pdf viewers to get around this. Competitors are catching up so there may be further options available in the near future. Also noticed that Apple Pencil cannot be used to handwrite annotations. Would be a great feature. I use another app to achieve this.
