ReaddleDocs - iPhone Document Viewer Now On Sale
May 13, 2009
ReaddleDocs is an iPhone and iPod touch document viewer that was released way back in August 2008. The application has since gone on to receive a few favorable reviews, and has now become one of the more popular document viewers at the App Store. Readdle, the creators of ReaddleDocs, have decided to put the application on sale for a limited time on the eve of its next update.
ReaddleDocs is more than a document viewer, it is also a complete file management solution for your mobile device. ReaddleDocs combines a network file sever, web storage client, web browser, file manager, and its powerful document viewer into a single application. It also allows you to transfer documents to your device over WiFi and 3G in a number of ways, and you can send them via email to share with others.
The ReaddleDocs 1.5 update, which will hit the App Store very soon, will add the ability to view iWork '09 documents saved with Preview and upload files to WebDAV enabled online file storage systems like MobileMe iDisk. The update will, of course, be free to existing users.
ReaddleDocs is normally priced at $9.99, but it will be on sale at the App Store for only $4.99 until Sunday, May 17th.
