What’s New in GoodReader® 5.

iOS 14 is finally here, and GoodReader 5.8 comes prepared. Two of

the iOS's new features — Widgets and Scribble — work perfectly
with GoodReader.

Widgets

• Go to where you usually see the Widgets area on your device. The
actual location varies from device to device, but generally, when
you're looking at the home screen, swipe right until the Widgets
area appears. There, you’ll see the standard widgets like Weather,
Maps, and so on. Scroll to the bottom. The Edit button will appear.
Tap it. The “+” button will appear at the top — this is how you add
custom widgets. Find GoodReader on the list and select it.
• You’ll see a selection of three widgets of different sizes. The
smallest one offers a quick shortcut to a specific file of your
choice. The medium and large ones offer a selection of most used
buttons such as Back to Reading, Sync and Starred, and an
auto-updated list of most recent files. Select the one you want and
it will be added to the system. Rearrange your widgets to your
liking. On an iPhone, you can even drag them onto the Home
Screen!
• If you choose the smallest widget — a shortcut to a specific file,
you’ll have to manually select the file for the shortcut before the
widget can operate properly. You do that by tapping-and-holding
the existing widget and selecting Edit Widget from the popup
menu. There, tap the File link. A list of most recent GoodReader
files will appear. Choose the one you need. If you don't see the file
you're looking for, manually find and open it in GoodReader, and
the next time you edit the widget, the file will appear in the most
recent files list.
• You can later change the file reference for the Shortcut Widget the
same way you set it up the first time.
• Medium and Large Widgets do not require any set up. They show
you the list of GoodReader’s most recent files.
• For security purposes, file names won’t appear in the list if you’re
using an App Password, or if a file is password protected.
Scribble

• This is an amazing improvement for the users of Apple Pencil. For

example, when making a Typewriter note annotation on a PDF,
now you can simply write into the text entry window instead of
typing! That's it! No setup needed. Language options may vary, but
we're pretty sure that Apple will be adding support for more
languages as they go.
