This is the next generation of our famous GoodReader app, and now it's a universal app - one app for all your iOS devices.

GoodReader® is the super-robust PDF reader app. Mashable describes it as “a Swiss Army knife of awesome!” Reviews worldwide hail it as “essential,” “the best,” “magnificent” and “the killer app”. With GoodReader on your iPad or iPhone, you can read virtually anything, anywhere: books, movies, maps, pictures. Use it once and you’ll be hooked. Soon you'll be wondering how you ever managed to go mobile without GoodReader.

GoodReader has earned its accolades by the way it handles huge PDF and TXT files, manuals, large books, magazines, and renderings of 100 mb and more with great speed.

The ability to mark-up PDFs opens up new doors to GoodReader users who can now use typewriter text boxes, sticky notes, lines, arrows, and freehand drawings on top of a PDF file.

All the excelent features of the original GoodReader are here, including:
- the best PDF reading engine
- PDF Annotations - text boxes, popup comments ("sticky notes"), text highlights and markups, freehand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals, etc.
- access to various types of servers to store your data - Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, box.com, WebDAV, SMB, AFP, FTP, SFTP
- Auto Sync with remote servers

Plus awesome new features, including:
- PDF Page Management - add, rearrange, delete, rotate, extract and email individual pages, split and merge files
- PDF Page Slider now shows page previews
- icon view for file browser, with larger previews
- collapsible tool area on the main screen
- “New PDF” button to create an empty file for your important notes and drawings

Our well-crafted Migration Assistant will make the transition to this new app easy for you - all your files and setting from the old GoodReader app will be transferred with a click of a button.

    I have good reader, hate it when they create another version and make you pay for it again… :-(

      If it's any consolation, it's now a universal app

      edit: sorry - just repeating what the OP has said

    No doubt GoodReader is a very good app from many accounts, but before you commit, it's worthwhile reading this big roundup of iPad PDF apps from The Sweet Setup (I expect it's pretty painful managing/editing PDF apps on the iPhone):

    The best app for managing, editing, and reading PDFs on your iPad | PDF Expert 5
    http://thesweetsetup.com/apps/best-pdf-manager-editor-ipad/

    The winner was PDF Expert 5, with runner-up PDF Expert 5. Mind you it was almost certainly reviewing GoodReader 3.

    Here's an excerpt:

    We imported each document into each app and ran the following tests:

    • Import speed
    • Speed at rendering pages on swipe
    • Compatibility with the different annotations and forms
    • Filling out forms
    • Redacting, highlighting, adding text, and noting PDFs
    • Exporting
    • Re-ordering pages
    • Merging documents
    • Organizing documents
    • Syncing PDF documents between devices/services

    Only one app, PDF Expert 5, could do all of those tasks. In almost every task, PDF Expert performed faster and/or more reliably than the other apps we tested. There were many apps that could do almost every task, but they often fell short in one or more tests (most notably in the merging and/or form filling tests).

    The Best: PDF Expert 5
    PDF Expert 5 by Readdle was released as we were testing and researching other apps, and we are glad it was. PDF Expert performed with aplomb in all of our tasks, and even added a new metric to our test criteria because it is the only “full-featured” PDF app that could merge PDF documents together (via a copy and paste mechanism built in for PDF pages in the app).

      This 'roundup' has a thorough explanation of why PDF Expert is so good, yet has almost no details on where the other apps fell short. For example, "It has the fastest page reordering and deleting of the apps we tested, and it does this smoothly and quickly." but there is no actual data on how much slower the other apps were.

      So leaving aside whether or not PDF Expert is a good program, I am quite suspicious of this particular review

    Reviewers are warning against new goidreader

    The new features sound worthwhile (I've always wanted to be able to extract pages to send) but I'm a bit annoyed having to buy it again even if it's at a discount.

  • ashtrayc2c on 10/05/2014 - 21:30

    paid full price for original good reader for both iPhone and iPad. loved it.
    jumped on this as well.

  • kyteflyer on 11/05/2014 - 01:59

    I can't see any point in buying this if you already have the others. What does it offer that is so much better, apart from its universality?

    • jace88 on 11/05/2014 - 22:06

      i thought the page extraction feature sounded good/useful
