GoodReader has been forced to remove several iCloud features to comply with Apple's 'mandatory' usage policy. The changes were announced in a recent update to the app.

GoodReader is a PDF reader app. It can read large PDF and TXT files, manuals, books, magazines, and renderings of 100 mb and more.

Here's the functionality changes that GoodReader had to make.

Important iCloud functionality change:
- to ensure the compliance to Apple's iCloud usage policy, the following operations have been disabled: creation of new folders inside iCloud, deletion of folders inside iCloud, moving of files and folders inside iCloud.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but the iCloud usage policy is mandatory.


Apple's policy with regards to iCloud and widget functionality is often unclear and the company has reversed some of its policy decisions in the past. We'll let you know if there are any more developments in this regard. You can follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

You can purchase GoodReader from the App Store for $4.99.
