Customer Reviews

A VERY "good reader" – but not perfect (4 stars)
I'm a lawyer and I have to review a lot of PDF documents and use them extensively in research. I've also used PDF Expert and several others, including iAnnotate, but I'll only compare PDF Expert because it's the only one in the same league. (E.g. iAnnotate doesn't support drawing shapes and it chokes on large PDF files, and Readdle doesn't support Retina yet.)

First the good, because this is a quality app:

-Great interface.

PDF annotation is a joke. (1 star)
I realize the functional advantages of annotating text in PDF files, but in real world, not all PDFs contain texts…
Goodreader should have noted explicitly that it DOES NOT allow annotation of scanned PDFs and drawing lines and boxes and such become tedious and painstaking after a few strokes. So much promise… that much disappointing.

I will be happy to take another look when this "feature" (or bug, or shortcom

Great reader (4 stars)
Is goodreader performance constrained by the CPU or gpu? It seems slow on the new retina version on the new iPad. I hope goodreader can optimize the performance to take advantage of the extra gpus.
