Nice clean app. Could be better if it was more like finder, providing more view/sort options for example. Would like to see drag and drop onto the dock icon, and would prefer it if you weren't prevented from doing anything else with the app while copying largeish files.

More importantly, now that ios 4 allows you to add documents to goodreader via itunes (scroll down on the apps tab on the iphone screen), this app seems redundant.

Following on from that, it seems that goodreader have discontinued the app because it replicated itunes' file sharing function.

Great - but one perplexing omission. If you try to copy a later version of a file to the device, instead of an opportunity to overwrite the file on the device you are simply told that the file already exists and nothing gets copied. Simple to fix, but a bit of a nuisance until they do!

Also, not too big of deal for me but not very secure is that if you have set a folder on the device to be locked there is no protection when viewed via this application - its contents are displayed and you can copy files to the folder freely.

Designed to integrate with the GoodReader iPhone app, this provides an alternative to loading files to your iPhone by WiFi. Instead you use USB and get a GoodReaderUSB folder appear when you open GoodReader on your iPhone. It didn't really advertise all that in the promo, but it does it reasonably intuitively. The GoodReader iPhone app is quiet capable (as it claims) of handling reasonably large files in a variety of formats. GoodReaderUSB provides another handy way of getting your files to and from your iPhone.
