PDF HYPERLINKS! The PDF hyperlink feature allows you to quickly jump back and forth within the document. Tapping a link quickly whisks you across a huge PDF book in an instant, and the “Go Back” button will take you back to the page you came from.
MORE VIEWING AREA! With no bars or buttons blocking the text, you’ll experience true full-screen reading. Do your document’s pictures split in halves across two pages? That’s not a problem with GoodReader – one of the only apps to offer a special double-page mode for viewing the entire spread! And if large page margins are annoying, get rid of them with GoodReader’s special PDF crop tool!
ZOOM! You can even use the 50x zoom, giving you a better view without distorting the image. Perfect for PDF maps and drawings.
TEXT SEARCH! If you know what you’re looking for, the Text Search feature helps you find your way to the exact info you want in any PDF or TXT file.
TONS OF OTHER FEATURES! We keep surprising our existing users with new features by constantly releasing free updates. We don't just do small fixes, we actually improve the app all the time!

What's New in Version 3.13.0
• new freehand drawing engine (PDF Annotations) produces smoother handwriting
• PDF Page Lock. Use it if you're working in an environment where it is undesirable for accidental taps to take you away from an important page. When locked, all your taps and swipes will be ignored until you unlock the page. The only interaction allowed is pinching with two fingers for zooming/repositioning. There are also small buttons at the top of the screen for quickly changing pages.
• swiping a PDF page to the right and to the left with three fingers can now be used as Go Back and Go Forward gestures within a single file. Now you don't have to turn the menu on to use the "Go Back" button.
• TXT editor now starts editing close to a viewing position
• Bonjour server records can now be quickly moved to the permanent “Connect to Server” location with a special button. This will allow to use advanced connection options, like changing the default server path and default login name.

Greatest pdf reader on iDevice
I heard of this app from my friend and used it on his iPad. As i do intense reading, i liked the smoothness of this app. My purpose of buying iPad was to read on it with this app. I love it. It' been wonderful experience of reading with this app on iPad. Developer's support was also amazing as they replied immediately with my request on certain issue. Highly recommended app for those who use iPad as a reading device for ebooks in pdf format. 5 stars from my side.
Thank You!
This is without a doubt the best PDF reader/annotator in the AppStore. This was my very first app I downloaded years ago and it has always remained the most used and recommended app.
The new handwriting engine is a sigh of relief because I was starting to think the developers were satisfied with the previous engine. Love it! Thanks! Keep 'em coming!
Please add Zoom handwriting and auto scrolling
The new improved handwriting engine is amazing. With a couple of more features Goodreader can make the rest of the handwriting apps obsolete. 1) ability to zoom and then write within a box at the bottom 2) auto scrolling to keep writing rather than moving the page each time 3) auto save handwriting rather than having to save after each sentence or para.
What makes Goodreader valuable to me are the folder structure and Dropbox sync which are both exceptionally well designed.
