History
In 2014, GoodReader 4 was released as a major update. Unlike previous updates, GoodReader 4 was released as a new application, meaning that users would have to re-purchase the app from the App Store if they previously owned the product. The update added multiple features including the ability to manipulate PDF files, manage document pages, and view page previews.[4] GoodReader 4 supports migrating data from previously installed versions of the app.
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][6]
