Goodreader PDF App Updated

GoodReader[1]The best PDF app for iPad and iPhone was updated today with a bunch of bug fixes and new features.

In addition to direct support for loading files from iCloud, Goodreader also gained a couple new features which iPhone 6 owners will appreciate.  The iPhone version of Goodreader now supports a double-page view for PDF files, and there is an option for page rotation (landscape to portrait and back).

What’s more, Goodreader also supports more  external drives, specifically models made by Toshiba.

And last but not least, users can now lock and unlock either the app or specific files using only their fingerprint. The app now supports the Touch ID sensor which is integrated into the latest iPad and iPhone models, enabling users to have even more ways to accidentally lock themselves out of their files (I am a pessimist).

You can find the app in iTunes.
