GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer Reviews

Slow down guys!

SavageGM

Don’t exhaust yourselves with these feature rich updates!

SCAM and deceptive in app purchases!!!

TheSmileMan

I had a word document in good reader, I chose to convert to a PDF. GoodReader tells me I need to buy the pro pack to cover this document to a PDF. After paying I click to convert to a PDF and GoodReader tells be you can’t convert this document and you should use the iOS built in features to do this task. Great! So you lie to me about a feature then make me buy it only to tel me not to use it. What a scam. I would like a refund.

What happened to Dropbox?

McSear

The previous, simple access to Dropbox is gone. Now I have to sync a connection to a remote server? I prefer the old GoodReader version for typical use by a typical home user. A PDF document app for an IT professional is not what I need. So, after using it for 4 years, it looks like I will not be trying to use GoodReader anymore. #DISAPPOINTED

朗讀的設定表，佔用螢幕七行，iPhone 朗讀時畫面很醜。

tsengliancang

此程式很久了，就是不懂進步，朗讀時，控制大小聲調整和朗讀速度，都是老式，推拉式，如今很多都已經改為調數字的方式，同時這表列佔用螢幕七行之多，其實可以改為一行，尤其現在iPhone 螢幕不大，佔用得朗讀時非常難看，希望建議的兩項、盡快的改進。

Wonderful App, but a little fix needed...

DDR717

Its been part of my everyday reading and studying since my first iPad back in 2011. The new version (5) is outstanding specially since finally we are able to sync multiple iOS devices via iCloud. Well done!!! Yet there is a minor issue, that affects regular use of the app, specially in the annotation process. If you are working on a document on the iCloud File, and you are using any of the annotation tools, you will find that you can’t change tools by simply clicking the Tool Menu Bar on the top of the screen. This still can be done in documents not in the iCloud File, but for some reason, with these documents it kind of crashes, and it make you go to the main menu in search of the Annotation Tool’s menu bar on the right side of the screen. Currently Im using two iPad pros (not the last generation, the one before), with apple pencil first generation. It does not ruin the app, but it definitely make it less efficient. Hope to see an upgrade soon addressing this matter. Other than that, great work people, you have produced an outstanding APP !!!

HORRIBLE INTERFACE!

The product works, but is very hard to use: unintuitive, cluttered, and ugly. I actually like the previous version much more.

Ruined for Audio Files

Bardenboo

GoodReader is the best file management app in my view, but I can no longer recommend this app for audio file management. I have been using the app to manage and listen to audio lectures, interviews, discussions. They are often 1 hour long or more. Think journalism. Problems: Audio position no longer remembered after closing the app. Cramped controls make it easy to lose your place. Audio files auto-play when opened. Preset rewind and fast forward functions are glitchy with some files. Playback stops unexpectedly and position is lost. And more. This app used to be a Swiss Army Knife. Now it is really only for PDFs and not much else. UPDATE: I agree with another reviewer that the new interface is rotten—not just for audio. The previous version was fine.

ALL MY FILES ARE GONE!

And some of them are irreplaceable. All of them disappeared from GoodReader when I got a new phone (same model, same iOS) and restored from my iCloud backup. EVERYTHING ELSE from EVERY OTHER app— including the tabs I had open in Safari— popped right up on the new phone. But ALL OF MY FILES AND FOLDERS ARE MISSING from “My Documents.” Just gone. (And no, I didn’t have any of them in the “Downloads” folder.) I’ve restored from backups in the past and everything in GoodReader transferred without a problem. *So I TRUSTED GOODREADER not to lose my thousands of files and untold gigabytes of data. Years of work went into collecting and organizing, converting and assembling, reading and annotating these files. And they’re all gone. I’ve been in a panic for the past 2 days and have emailed GoodReader’s customer service twice. My files might be safely tucked away in a backup I can’t access or they might be gone forever. I’ve tried many backup browsing apps (even dishing out some cash) and talked to Apple for over an hour today. GoodReader’s Customer Service reps, however, are nowhere to be found. That’s just bad business. And so, just like my missing files, ANY TRUST I HAD IN GOODREADER IS GONE.

NOT FAIR

sorry4ever

If I had the ability to get a copy of the EULA so that I could read it when I have time without giving out my email address, I might consider using this app. I purchased the original version of this app years ago. Why can't things like this be taken into consideration? To me, this is selfish. I am not happy. At this point, I am disgusted and frustrated.
