Pros and cons of GoodWriter 4 - Documents, Hand-Written Notes and PDF app for iPhone and iPad

GoodWriter 4 - Documents, Hand-Written Notes and PDF app good for

I run a business from home and love that GoodWriter has proven very handy with everything I have used it for. I am able to read PDFs very easily, make notes on them and sign them. I use this on my iPad and it looks and work fantastic. I give it 6 stars!
I have been using this app for editing documents on the go. It works great! I especially love that I can attach voice memos and send it back to colleagues. Must have app! I highly recommend it!
Wow! I am so impressed with this versatile app! GoodWriter is awesome! I annotate a lot of pdf’s as a college student. GoodWriter is so useful in adding notes to my educational documents and makes it so easy. I love that the app works with both pages (which I use on my ipad) and Microsoft word (which I use on my laptop). The highlighting feature is my absolute favorite as I am easily able to highlight and underline important passages and notes digitally. With my finger or stylus I am also able to write handwritten notes on pdfs and other documents. This feature makes lectures and business meeting a cinch! The facing feature has to be the most useful part of the app. I love being able to fax documents right from my ipad without ever having to get up and use one of those clunky old fax machines. Good writer is also great for proofreading because you can easily mark up mistakes and highlight errors. GoodWriter has something for everyone. Buy this one, you will not regret it! It is so useful!
Good Writer4 is for anyone who is serious about writing, loves reading, annotates PDF documents or wants to create or edit notes and formal documents in an open standard format, as I often do as a journalist, is a must-have app. Good Writer by Masalasoft (Pvt) Limited, which opens and edits in any standard word processor like Pages, Microsoft Word or Open Office, is an awesome utility app that allows users to edit, insert text and stamps, sign, and even insert graphics and pictures in documents. I particularly find Good Writer to be the best choice app on the market for filling out PDF forms right on one’s iPad and iPhone. I love that I can use the Good Writer app to open various file formats, namely iWork, MS Office, Power Point, text files, images, and much more. It’s simply an awesome app that you can use to get a variety of document files from desktop computers, email attachments, and “Open in" from other applications. I particularly love using this app to create client’s documents in open standard html format which can be opened or edited in any standard word processor like Microsoft Office, Pages or Open Office. It also allows me to create worksheets in standard dat format, which can be opened and edited in any worksheet software. Not many of us like typing, but rather love scribbling notes here and there in longhand, or making cute drawings. Well, the Good Writer can be used to help you unleash your artistic skills by creating drawings or taking casual hand-written notes. Overall, I believe Good Writer is an awesome writing and editing tool, that every one who write and reads should have available at the ready.
I downloaded this app because the price was right and it seemed able to do quite a bit, especially with PDFs. First of all, its great for those - you can edit, create and save numerous file types with ease. Second to that - you can play with your images - as in your pics - in this app too. Awesome scan function lets you trace out parts you want to keep. Love this!!
Good Writer is like having my own personalized Microsoft Word on my phone, but upgraded by like 100. It has everything I need when I go to work, or when I am in a rush to finish up a project or send something out real quick. It has scanning capabilities by just using the camera on you phone, and it allows you to resize it also. You can also fax, which along with the scanning has saved my job on multiple occasions just because I could fax and scan from my phone. The GUI is very easy to use also. It allows you to create a folder for all of your documents on the main page so that you don’t get files mixed up like most apps where your files are all over the place. There are also a vast amount of different documents you can make depending on what you do or need it for at the moment. You can create plain or rich text, CSV worksheet, drawings, or voice memos. You can even transfer files over WIFI!!! The best part it is that it even has a help page if you do not know how to do something. It is a basic program that is so unique and ingenious in itself. I finally have something that can make me a pdf or txt without having to use multiple apps. I used it for a while to check how much of my battery it uses, and I barely lost any at all. This caters to not just the businessman but the average man or woman too. It allows you to work in an environment with something no more than you phone, but you can now be twice as productive. Thanks again for making this app and I suggest buying it if you are on the fence or not!!!

Some bad moments

This app is terrible. It does not do any of the things that they claim. Total waste of money. There are way better apps out there to edit PDF files.
I dont want to just "jump the gun" and say that this is a terrible app; however, I would not spend the money on this app if I had a second chance. I dont know if it simply isnt compatible with ios 8, or if its truly just that bad of an application. The view is sloppy, its appearance looks as if my 6 year old nephew drew it, and some features dont work. Whenever I try to create a folder for instance. Every time that I attempt to create a new folder via the button in the top right corner, not only will it not allow me to enter a name for the folder, but when I then go to add it, it is nowhere to be found. Again, I dont want to full condemn this app YET, because it could be something as simple as needing an update of the format for iOS 8; however, I wasted my money on this app, and would greatly appreciate a refund, but Ive yet to hear of ANYONE getting one for any reason. I made my mistake of purchasing it, and I hope that you do not.
Bought this, no support,no idea why it wont even load. Why bother? Lower than one star. A no show.
Primitive, non-intuitive user interface. No cloud backup or syncing. Overpriced at .99, let alone 3.99. Ive spent more on apps, but none for such a disappointing one. Save your money and dont buy it.
