Good.iWare has released another update to its popular GoodReader app for the iPad adding support for accessing and syncing with SFTP servers and a new one-way synchronization mode for all services. GoodReader for iPad 3.5 now supports a “Download only” sync setting, allowing users to safely update new and changed files from online storage services without worrying about modifying or delete files on the remote server.

The new version also improves PDF Annotation support, allowing the font size to be changed for text boxes and the Typewriter tool as well as respecting page rotation when using the Typewriter tool. Additional changes include stability enhancements for Dropbox connections and general synchronization features.

GoodReader for iPad 3.5 is available from the App Store for $5.
