GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer App Reviews

231 add

Second only to the internet browser app in terms of usefulness

An absolute must have app. Does just about everything. I have saved my books, PDF docs, music and photos on it. It automatically backs up to cloud. I use it all the time. Stable and user friendly.

Great app, lacking ePub/etc. support.

Powerful, good iCloud Drive integration. Still no ePub or MOBI support which means having to rely on Apple iBooks for storing some files on my iPad. Asked for this feature over a year ago but developer seems not interested.

Best App Ever period!

GoodReader is the best app ever created. If I could have only 1 app, it would be GoodReader. GoodReader is like having Finder or Windows Explorer on your iOS device. This is the perfect solution if you need to carry files of any type locally on your iOS device.

Great app

I enjoy using the app, but could use some upgrade- cropping docs need some changes; continuous scrolling would be great and the writing background need choices.

It Works...It just works!

This is one of the best readers I have ever used. I like it - a lot.

What a tool

Just what I was wanting--a way to put my photos of song charts in alphabetical order. Would be nice if it had a built in photo editor to make them brighter, etc.

Excellent! But...

Please fix the functions of "resume" and "30 seconds forward and review" for mp3 in iOs9. They dont work properly such as they often work as simply skip forward and backward.

Very Good Reeder

Its So good a Reader that I cant do without it.

Good, but...

...no option to extract pages from a larger pdf.

Please support playing GIF Animation.

Very nice tool

I am using Goodreader since I got my first IPad four years ago. Goodreader continiously developed during this time. I organize and read my pdf files with this application. The latest improvements with pdf files are great! I can send a single page of the documents with email. Thanks to the people working on this tool.

very good on pdf

most satisfactory to my needs

Great app

Best pdf app ever. I use it since the launch of first version and have never been disappointed.

Continous page....

I am using it for afew days, this is awesome for me except one thing; this is when we pass to next page on pdf (pages layout) there are -single page, -double page choices. But continous page choice should be put there too. I got use Adobe with continous page choice, it was better than single page...

Might be the best annotator

GoodReader is a great app for annotating PDFs, and a good app for reading them. The app receives frequent updates and improvements. The developers seem to understand to a large extent what users of such an app might need to do, and what the best possible way (given iOS restrictions, I presume) to do them are. As a result, its quite functional, and the interface makes sense. (Those can be really complicated in annotating apps.) The cloud sync function works well. Now it works in the background as well. One *must* be able to access annotated versions of his/her papers anywhere!!! (This is why I bought an iPad to begin with.) There is no quick-access brightness setting for the entire screen, but there is a quick-access contrast setting for the displayed pages. I kinda like it. The squiggly note function with the zoom-window is indispensable for me! It was probably one of the main reasons I chose this app over others. It is great, but after you made your annotation, you cant edit it anymore. You can scale it, move it around. But perhaps you want to remove an arrow? I wonder if they can be left "editable." Speaking of the squiggly function, a sexy ink would be super nice! (But not necessary at all, to be honest.) A very important shortcoming is the following: After you perform a markup, you can open it and add a note. Great. But the presence of an accompanying note *must* be indicated by some small mark somewhere on the markup. One cannot possibly check every markup for potential accompanying notes. GoodReader shines in annotation, but as far as reading is concerned, its not that great, I think. For instance, after you follow a hyperlink, or use the navigation bar at the bottom, you can go back at the press of a button. But then you might also want to go forward (i.e. back again). That doesnt seem to be possible, and its causing me some trouble. Also, you cannot swipe away partially-rendered pages. Meaning that if you want to swipe forward 4-5 pages, you cannot do it in 4-5 quick gestures, you have to proceed one-by-one. Not that the renders take too long, but its clumsy. In addition, I constantly find myself switching from one page to another because I find the tapping regions a bit too large. The "inconspicuous" center area where you can tap to bring up the main menu is therefore too small. And finally, the mother-of-all-reasons why its not so great for reading: no continuous vertical scrolling. Imagine the following situation: Equation (5) is derived from Equation (4) under such and such assumptions. So, you want to compare the two equations. Fine. Equation (5) is in front of you, whereas Equation (4) is at the bottom of the previous page. Pretty annoying when that happens. (Which happens a lot!) I should note that, in my capacity as a physicist, I am using only a subset of features. There are features like inserting a new blank page, and more. The important thing is, judging by the way the developers seem to approach their app, one can be confident that GoodReader will remain one of the most functional, most intuitive annotators around, whatever the reason might be for your annotating.
