GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer is a Productivity app by Good.iWare, Inc.. Canceling and getting refunded are two separate things — most people do the first and assume the second happens automatically. It doesn't.
Based on 50 of the most recent public App Store reviews, sampled September 2026.
Step 1 — Stop the next charge
- On iPhone or iPad: Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions.
- Select GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer → Cancel Subscription.
- Check that it now says Expires and not Renews. If it still says Renews, it is not canceled.
Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. This is the single most common reason people keep getting charged.

Recent 1–2★ reviews of GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer on the App Store, about billing:
Beware that after you pay for the app there are some features that are still behind a steep monthly subscription.
Some function transfer to subscription needed. I brought this app years ago based on these features and seem just wasting my money.
I originally purchase Goodreader years ago, would have considered to buy upgrade versions over the years. However, APP developer got greedy and thinks this app warrants subscription with no real changes to its functionality. A real shame, but had to move on to better alternatives. Just wish I could use the older app that I paid hard earned money. Good luck Developers of Goodreader as AI has replaced your talents.…

Questions
Can I get a refund after I already canceled GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer?
Yes. Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge that already went through. You request that separately at reportaproblem.apple.com, and "I was charged after I canceled the subscription" is the reason to select.
How long do I have to ask for a refund?
Apple generally expects refund requests within 90 days of the charge. Ask as soon as you notice it — requests on recent charges are approved more often.
Apple declined my request. Is that the end?
No. A first decline is common and is often automated. You can submit the request again with more specific facts and ask for review by a senior advisor. If it is declined again, you can dispute the charge with your card issuer.
Will I lose access to GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Canceling only stops the next renewal.
