Psst!  Hey, you!  Yeah, you with the iPod Touch.  Oh, it’s an iPhone?  3GS?  Ok, that’s alright. 

Listen close because I’ve got a tip you’ll want to remember.  Chances are, you probably own a reference app or two, right?  Most of us do. I got about five myself.  Or at least I used to.  These days, I’ve just got one. And it’s everything I need.  It’s all I need, in fact, so I gave up all the other ones.  What’s that?  You wanna know the name of this app?

 Pocket Reference. From MEDL Mobile.  It’s awesome.  Why?  It’s only the most comprehensive reference app...ever.  What, you think I’m joking with you, pulling your leg? 

Pocket Reference has over 500 reference websites, everything from How Stuff Works to Bartlet’s Familiar.  From Red Hot Jazz Archives to USA.gov. If you’ve got a question or a passing curiosity about a topic or an issue, you can find it in Pocket Reference.  It contains more than 185 mobile Safari-friendly websites and they’re grouped into no fewer than 50 categories.    And if you come across a site that you’d like to see added, just let those folks over at MEDL Mobile know and they’ll take it under advisement.  Plus, you can bookmark your favorite sites.  So whatever‘s your pleasure, you‘ll be able to get to it fast.  

I don’t throw words like this around easily, but this is the ultimate All-in-One reference app and I’m sure it’ll quickly become your go-to app for just about anything you want to know.  And within a few clicks and swipes, you should be able to find what you want to know when you want to know it.  So if you’re looking for a great resource app, one that you’ll use again and again, I can’t recommend this app enough.  It’s simple, it’s easy to navigate, and it’s amazingly comprehensive. 

And it can all be yours for the small price of $1.99.  It’s a steal.  Don’t believe me?  All right, wiseguy.  Click the iTunes link below and see what other people have to say about it.  Then you’ll see I’m not pulling your leg.

Go ahead.  Do it.  Then do yourself a favor and pick up Pocket Reference.  You’ll be glad you did.

    Was hoping to be able to enter the subject and then it search the sources, but generally speaking, could enter the subject into a Google search and get there. Nice to have all these links in one place, but that’s all it is.

    Example. Like we all do, I wanted to run a background check on my own name. Had to navigate to public records, then free background checks, then pick a link and THEN enter the specific query. Link was called a “FREE” but it wasn’t free. Zero for zero success. :cry:

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll be sure to pass it on to the developer for you.

    Pocket Reference has really made my life easier! I understand what CultDoctor is saying, but it really doesn’t bother me. It’s really fluent in it’s design and easy to use.
