Name: GoodReader
Maker: Good.iWare
Compatibility: iPad. Requires iOS 4.0
This $4.99 app turns your iPad device in to an excellent reader for PDF files and several other formats:
- MS Office : .doc, .ppt., .xls
- HTML and Safari webarchives
- High resolution images
- Audio and video.
Not only can you review files, but it is possible to mark-up PDFs using typewriter text boxes, sticky notes, lines, arrows, and freehand drawings. Once you have read or manipulated a file, GoodReader can then be synced with other devices and services including Dropbox and FTP for transfers. Annotate, read, transfer, search and manage your files easily -- making this a top contender for one of the most valuable productivity apps currently available.
