GoodReader Pro PDF Editor Reviews

I though it is pretty basic function not to recognize finger tips as apple pencil when the pencil is under use. Maybe it is not for GoodReaderProPDFEditor.
Sync system is overly complicated. The organization system would only be appreciated if someone does not have an actual computer to sync with ipad.

I got GoodReaderProPDFEditor with the intent of going paperless utilizing my iPad Pro when out in the field on assignments. I condensed/combined documents for each day’s work into a pdf, then imported it into Good Reader Pro. Some of the pdf’ s had to have annotations made as I went along. I discovered during the first day that after annotating a pdf, then entire document would freeze up and not allow me to go to the next page. Long story short - I had duplicate back-up pdf’s in the Apple Books app. It worked like a charm - annotations and all, so I abandoned Good Reader Pro for the rest of the assignment. I also ran into a couple of bugs and had a couple of questions right after I purchased GoodReaderProPDFEditor. It took the developer nearly two weeks to respond without really helping to resolve another issue.

I don't understand why an app that is supposed to be a good reader is so horribly complicated! Where does one even begin with the lack of Features! This has to be the worst pdf reader that I have ever paid for... There is no easy way to sync this device even though iCloud! You literally have to set up who knows what to actually get it to sync... I wouldn't actually know since it doesn't come with any kind of instructions whatsoever... All I know is that GoodReaderProPDFEditor was NOT work $13 and I would suggest looking elsewhere if you want ease of use, because GoodReaderProPDFEditor is not that at all!

I have been using GoodReader Pro for about a year now for my crosstitch patterns. I have loved it. Suddenly today, it is VERY glitchy…to the point that it is unusable. It will not respond to or responds very very slowly to using the highlighter & eraser. I then downloaded the update and closed down/restarted my iPad. But it’s continuing to act up. Do you have any suggestions? I am frustrated especially because I am in the midst of a pattern.
And, it doesn’t keep my pattern up when I close & reopen the program. It used to open to the pattern and to exactly where I left off when I closed down. In fact, when I placed the program in the background while I wrote this review, it shut the file down. HELP!

GoodReaderProPDFEditor contrary to its description may have a dark mode but not night mode. It only reduces screen brightness. This is not a true dark mode. Dark mode or night mode, would have high contrast, or inverted colors. Unfortunately GoodReaderProPDFEditor does not offer this option. I can use night mode through my iOS. But it would be good if this feature was embedded in GoodReaderProPDFEditor itself, as in Kindle and iBook.

This used to work so I could set GoodReader as a web server. Now all it does is gives the message WiFi is Off. My wife is in. I tried removing and reinstalling GoodReaderProPDFEditor . Same issue. It works ok on my iPhone. Just the iPad it doesn’t. Please fix.

I have issues downloading files from external folder from icloud.

The features on GoodReaderProPDFEditor make referencing materials easy, especially being able to cast two documents at the same time. Moving documents around, and making folders is very easy. I only wish that you could edit text, and that searching within documents started with the page you are currently on, instead of continuing with the next word in order.

I use this for all my ipad pdf filevstorage. i would like this on macos

I use this to sign and/or annotate documents. No need to use printer unless signed and filled in documents are needed.

Been using the reader version for years. Just purchased the Pro version and couldn't be happier. Had several questions that tech support answered promptly and satisfactorily.

Had to copy over 3200 rather large .pdf files from reader edition to Pro edition. Easy and fast!

This was the first true productivity app I purchased for iOS. I still consider it the best after years of use. It is a rare combination of strengths, not just a one trick pony. I really recommend it to anyone with an iOS device that is not just used to play games.

GoodReader is hands down the best PDF reader app I’ve ever used on phone or tablet. Been using it for more than 5 years now. Thank you for developing and maintaining such a great app!

I’ve been using GoodReader for over 10 years now almost daily. It’s one of my most used apps I own.

It’s utilities allow me the flexibility to locate bookmarks for reference, organize several manuals I utilize often and safely keep both personal and professional sensitive documents at my fingertips.

Have been using for many years. Excellent tool for all your files

GoodReader is one of the most useful apps on my phone. I don’t know what I’d do without it!

I use GoodReader constantly - every day, near enough. Reading journal articles is a big part of my life, and GoodReaderProPDFEditor lets me organise them logically, highlight and annotate, view my annotations easily, copy-paste text, and flip from one article to another really easily.

It's also possible to do a split-screen, with GoodReader on one side and a notebook app on the other, which is the most efficient and intuitive way I've ever found to take notes while reading.

Setting up sync (with Google Drive, in my case) can be a bit trial-and-error at times, but it was well worth it - I know I won't lose my annotations and my archive of articles I've read, whatever happens.

GoodReader is one of the few apps I genuinely would be distraught to lose!

It is recommended to add a text editing function

Loads fast! Note taking and thumbnails can be better

Seriously one of the best if not the best of the best of its kind. Good support and solidly stable. So many abilities and capabilities. Very stable.
