One of the biggest complaints of most iPad users is the lack of a file management system. The solution to this issue, in this revision at least, are file/reader programs.
The 800 pound gorilla in this space is the very sleek, sexy and cheap GoodReader app. For 99 cents it’s a no-brainer for many and the default go to for making it all happen. It is also very iPad/Apple like in the interface.
I was recently given a preview copy of ReaddleDocs. She’s not as sexy or as cheap and is probably more “Windows” than Mac like … but … I really dig the flow here. It somehow just feels more powerful and faster.
Honestly, there is nothing I can put my finger on here but I find myself managing files inside ReaddleDocs instead of EasyReader. You can tell the apps I use most on my machine by what I’ve placed on the first page of apps – ReaddleDocs is there, EasyReader is on another page.
I guess in short, it just “feels” more business like. Since that is a theme of this Blog, I thought I’d make a note accordingly.
Put a gun to my head and I couldn’t tell you what one does that the other doesn’t – I’ve really made a choice based on “feel.” I’d love comments below if you’ve got them. I hate writing something this vague but I wanted to see what thoughts you had – and let you know that there are options.
Prefer one over the other? Know something that one does that the other doesn’t? Please post in the comments below.
