GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer

Since the last update is it no longer possible to open pdf-files on my iPad in Goodreader. Even when pdf-files open on all other devices you can think of, it’s impossible to open them in Goodreader. Even when the pdf’s are OK, Goodreader qulifies them as damaged or corrupt. It’s pretty worthless now and it used to be a very good app.

Goodreader is a great app, works fabulous but there is one thing that still does not work:
‘Disable device auto-lock’
My iPhone still locks automatically even when i am listening to music or reading a document
Can you please fix this.

Every time when I unlock my iPad GoodReader asks to disable the flight mode! Every time! That’s annoying as hell.

I’m enjoying it for many years
But..
The ‘disable device autolock’ does not work when i am playing music files out of GoodReader. That’s a pity because I have lot’s of files exercising for my choir.
What can i do?

After having used tons of paper, I finally switched to using my iPad for board meetings. This app is great and allows me to reduce my paper consumption.

Though I miss a few things:
- disable page flipping by taps (for continuous scroll it’s more annoying than helpful)
- color inverting for night reading (saw in some other pdf reader - way better for night reading than darkened white background)

App has a lot of features but it crashes often, slow to render pages and not intuitive to use. As a simple PDF reader it is less convenient than iBooks except it can properly go back after clicking links.

This went from being a great app, to zero support, and not working with Dropbox despite having the latest versions of both.

I really enjoy this app. I use it all the time. But there is one feature that would make it even more useful. The one is the ability to change the background colour to something other than black. If I’m reading a document that is narrower than the screen, the black bars to the side or above and below are distracting. To be able to extend the white page to the edge of the screen would be a great help in making the document more readable.

Updated my iPad and had to pay for the “new” goodreader to access it. I payed and no access so I wrote an email to the helpdesk, no response for now already two months. The “new” GoodReader is exactly the same as the old one except that you payed money, lost all your data and no support.

simply the best pdf reader for iPad
i have 5000 books in this and it works smoothly every time
i have been trying for years to convince the designers to include epubs so i can abandon ibooks for good - every time i install a new iPad it takes months to get ibooks functioning normally, and i have to reimport every book
goodreader syncs all the books very quickly and i can resume where i left off in a matter of hours
a separate epub reader built by the goodreader team would also be very acceptable :)

did you change management or so? it is very unlike the good old goodreader standard to charge pro users for a SIMPLE feature that frankly said can also be achieved by iPad’s native settings.
Also: SEARCH has now really become corrupted, showing not only the search term items, but also every single other thing that shares even one letter with the search term. do you know how that looks? ugly black patches all over the page, among which one has to strain the eyes to find the real thing somewhere in there. it certainly looks like a function you yourselves never ever use!

Paid for this app, and suddenly i need a subscription for pro features.... and even dark mode is a PRO feature.... at first i thought it was a joke... it wasn’t!

There is not much more to ask for really!
The one thing I would like to see is the possibility to set a preset email address when using the “email file” option so that when it composes an email for you, you do not have to fill in the email address all the time. This would be very handy when you regularly send files from within goodreader to yourself by email.

I have used this for many years and really liked it. But the introduction of a subscription model for some “pro features” for a pdf reader sorry that’s just not good. What can be so PRO about a pdf tool?
But to even make it worse they now put that so dark mode behind that pay wall just ridiculous.... very PRO this is

Used GoodReader in favour of PDF Expert for years now. Very disappointed with this Dark Mode Pro only extortion! Never pay for extortion, kidnapping or ransomware!

Perfect app... paid for it and now you make dark mode a paid feature! You are out of your mind!
I am not going to pay extra for a dark mode!
Shame on you!

I love this app but it's very unfortunate that a basic function like dark mode requires a subscription.
