Waited

Ajax1949

Waited for the update because of the reviews. Finally updated. Actually accidentally hit update all. Oops. Seems very good. Little refresh lag on load with multiple documents being viewed. The new features make that ok. This app is so good that 6 buck for pro pack upgrade is a steal.

No one provides free labor

I need to comment about the people complaining about being “forced” to pay for an upgrade . The App Store in its infancy was short sighted by offering low cost apps with the appearance of lifetime licenses entitling buyers to unlimited upgrades while failing to provide developers with a sustainable stream of revenue to prevent the apps from becoming abandonware. I’m not a developer, but I’m reasonable enough to identify a flawed economic model. I suspect those who are complaining expect to be compensated for every minute at their own jobs, including their time spent time correcting their own errors and updating ongoing projects in which they’ve already been compensated for initial development. The U.S. is still a capitalist market—no one is being forced to purchase something they don’t want or whose cost exceeds its imputed value. iOS now includes File Manager and existing files from earlier GR versions have always been accessible without added expense.

Crashed three times already

I’m using GoodReader to edit a book with a very short deadline. I upgraded this morning from a very stable 4.x version. In 30 minutes of working, it has crashed three times. Every time, I had just turned the page and had begun a freehand annotation. I’ve sent crash reports and an email to Support. I’ll update this review, based on how quickly I get a response and get instructions on reverting back to my stable version.

Does nothing for me

OK, I used to love FileMaker, a fairly expensive app that had a great interface that allowed us poor stupid users to create interesting inventories of cool stuff. Then FileMaker went nuts, ignored its customers and began charging Trumpian prices to keep your own data. OK, along comes this app, but surprise, surprise, I can’t access my old FileMaker data with it at all. So for me, both FileMaker and this app serve no serious purpose for serious people.

Purchased but can’t be downloaded

The new version makes the app look better on newer iPhones, nothing to complain about that. My problem is the txt reader colors, please bring back the ability to set day/night mode colors with RGB sliders, even as a paid upgrade I’ll pay for it.

Amazing

This app is the best reader I I’ve ever used. But the new version doesn’t allow to select the page number. It is inconvenient. In the old version, I typed the page No. and go directly there. It will be very grade if the developer re-insert that format again.

Bring Back or Add the Redact Options!

PathMax

I just purchased the pro version, largely because a reviewer said he could redact. Why cant you remove watermarks from documents, not just hide them!? Please fix at least one of those issues and I will upgrade my review to five stars.
