GoodReader iPad App Review
Mahalo.com gives the GoodReader app for the iPad a score of five out of five stars. Though the iPad is able to open PDF files on its own, this app enables users to do so much more with their documents. The GoodReader has a nice interface for managing multiple files and large files. The best part about the application is the ability to make notes, highlight and annotate PDFs. It is convenient for users to be able to e-mail the file with their notes and comments attached.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRULGI1ZV24
The $2.99 price is definitely worth it for users who often deal with multiple PDF files. It is an appropriate app for everyday use or for use in the academic and business worlds. As a reviewer from Tablet PC Review said, the GoodReader is "one of those apps you need to have on your iPad."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRULGI1ZV24
