2025 Editor's Rating
EXCELLENT User Rating

GoodReader® has been a mainstay in the App Store since its initial release in 2009, making it a true veteran in the modern app business. Over the span of 13 years, the app has consistently delivered exceptional updates with innovative features, solidifying its relevance in the industry.

Combining powerful document-reading and file-managing capabilities, GoodReader is your comprehensive solution for all your iOS document needs. Once you experience the app's functionality, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.

File Reading

GoodReader supports a wide range of file types including PDF, TXT, MS Office, iWork, HTML, pictures, music & audio-books, and videos. In addition to viewing files, you can also annotate PDFs and edit TXT files directly within the app.

PDF Reading and Annotating

When it comes to PDF files, GoodReader truly stands out. The reading experience is unparalleled and difficult to put into words. As one of our customers put it, "try it, and you'll see." Moreover, the app offers a PDF Reflow feature that eliminates the constant left/right scrolling for each line of text—making PDF reading significantly more convenient.

Annotating PDFs is another standout feature of GoodReader. With the ability to add notes, drawings, and highlight text, you can enhance your productivity and collaborate effectively. Sharing annotated files or annotation summaries will become your go-to workflow for teamwork.

File Management

GoodReader goes beyond file reading by acting as a centralized hub for all your files—even those that cannot be opened within the app itself. This functionality transforms your mobile device into a portable computer, effortlessly managing extensive collections of files and folders.

Connecting

Accessing your files from various cloud platforms and servers is seamless with GoodReader. The app supports popular services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box.com, WebDAV, SMB, AFP, FTP, and SFTP. Downloading, uploading, and syncing individual files or entire folder collections is effortless.

Security

GoodReader takes data security to a whole new level. With the optional Pro Pack®, an additional set of professional-level super-features, your data is protected by AES-256 military-grade encryption—a level of security previously unimaginable. This enhanced protection, priced at a remarkably reasonable rate, adds an extra layer of defense independent of Apple's built-in Data Protection.

Split-Screen

A particularly impressive feature of GoodReader is the ability to split an iPad screen in half, allowing you to read two files side-by-side or view different sections of the same file simultaneously.

Please note that the Split-Screen feature requires a subscription to Pro Pack®, available as an in-app purchase.
