5.19.1200 Safe to install
GoodReader® Pro and the classic GoodReader app are essentially the same, but the Pro version comes with the Pro Pack® pre-activated, eliminating the need for a subscription or in-app purchase.
First released in 2009, GoodReader has established itself as a veteran of the App Store, a remarkable feat in the rapidly evolving app business. Over the past 12 years, we have consistently delivered impressive updates with new and innovative features, and we will continue to do so.
GoodReader offers a seamless combination of document reading and file management capabilities, making it your go-to solution for all your document needs when you're on the go with your iOS device.
Once you experience the app, you'll realize its indispensability. You'll wonder how you ever managed to work without it.
- File Reading: GoodReader allows you to view various file types, including PDF, TXT, MS Office, iWork, HTML, pictures, music & audio-books, and videos. Additionally, you can annotate PDF files and edit TXT files.
- PDF Reading and Annotating: GoodReader excels in reading PDF files. Its superior reading experience is difficult to describe. As one satisfied customer puts it, "try it, and you'll see." Furthermore, give our PDF Reflow feature a try to enhance your PDF reading experience by eliminating the constant left/right scrolling for each line of text. Annotating PDFs is another standout feature of our app; you can add notes, drawings, and highlight text. Sharing your annotated files or annotation summaries will greatly enhance your productivity and collaboration.
- File Management: In addition to its reading capabilities, GoodReader also acts as a central hub for all your files, even those that cannot be opened by GoodReader itself. It provides a laptop-like experience in terms of efficiently managing vast collections of files and folders on your mobile device.
- Connecting: GoodReader seamlessly integrates with various cloud storage services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box.com, WebDAV, SMB, AFP, FTP, and SFTP. You can effortlessly download, upload, and sync individual files or entire folder collections.
- Security: GoodReader offers unprecedented data security by implementing AES-256, a military-grade encryption standard, for all your data. This encryption is independent of Apple's built-in Data Protection feature. Even if a hacker manages to steal and unlock your device, your data will remain protected by an additional robust layer of security provided by GoodReader.
- Split-Screen: This remarkable feature allows you to split the iPad screen in half, enabling you to read two files side-by-side. You can even view two different sections of the same file simultaneously.

Cons
- Pricey compared with many mobile PDF apps — listed at $79.99 on the App Store, which may deter casual users.
- Some user reports of bugs and performance issues — freezes, slow/highlighter/eraser responsiveness, and occasional instability reported in reviews.
- Customer support response concerns — at least one reported instance of slow developer response to issues.
- iOS ecosystem only — requires iOS/iPadOS (and visionOS support) so not suitable for Android or desktop-first workflows.
- UI and workflows can feel dated or have a learning curve — powerful feature set can be overwhelming for new users.
- Limited locale/language support — App Store listing shows English only.
- Privacy notes — developer indicates collection of Usage Data and Diagnostics (not linked to identity), which some users may wish to avoid.
- Potential for confusion between multiple GoodReader app variants (classic GoodReader, GoodReader Pro, GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer) which may complicate choosing the right app/version.
- Some advanced features depend on Pro Pack — although pre-activated in this SKU, users of other GoodReader variants may face in-app purchase decisions.
