Update Please
I really enjoy the app and how it allows for organizing items of interest. Only disappointment is the last update was 2 years ago.

Great resource
Although these documents are available from open sources, the app organizes them in a way that makes it easy to search for them and quickly display them. I don’t use it super often, but it’s the first place I look when I need one of the documents it includes. One minor quibble is that the formatting makes for slow reading. It’s straight text, kinda jammed together. I suspect (don’t really know) that it’s a result of the developer’s reliance on a database engine rather than on something like MS Word, which would allow for nicer formatting. But that’s a small thing. I’ve had this app for many years throughout its updates, and always make sure it’s downloaded to any new iOS device I’ve upgraded to.
