History
GoodReader was first released by Good.iWare in 2009.[4][5]
In 2014, GoodReader 4 was released as a major update. Unlike previous updates, it was launched as a new standalone app, so existing users had to repurchase it from the App Store. The update introduced several new features, including tools to manipulate PDF files, manage document pages, and view page previews, while allowing data migration from earlier versions.[6][7]
On January 28, 2019, GoodReader 5 was released as a major update. This update included an overhauled UI, support for the Apple Pencil 2, AES-256 encryption, and other general security features.[5][4] This latest version also allows iPad users to view documents side-by-side in split-screen.[5]
