Great app No crashes, works fine. It's plain, simple and east to use. Lots of great info. There isn't any pictures, charts or graphs, which doesn't bother me but I think more people would get it if it did. My only suggestion is to please make the back button on top and the scroll bar any other color but black. Please make it more visable. It's difficult to see the black button and scroll bar when the area around it is black. Thanks.

As good as the Web Version I have been using the web version of Handyfact for years and have always loved it. The format is plain vanilla, but it's as good as or better than what you get on the web. Plus, the actual information is invaluable in most cases.

So many features in one tidy app Look-up of various reference info is quick and easy with this app. Simple interface makes quick loading of pages. Not a 500 screen reference book, but just the right amount of info. It does have a simple interface, but that makes navigation that much faster. Also, I like the fact it doe not take up a lot of space.

Good Idea, Bad Execution The information is good, but the interface is the worst I've seen in the App Store.

Outstanding Idea/Great App You cannot beat this app, especially for the price. A few suggestions though...the birthstone for March is Aquamarine and I would suggest adding Zulu time for the measurment for Int'l time increments. Also, maybe adding conversion temperatures from Celsius to Fahr for cooking and/or weather?? Metric/US measurements since we are the only country using the goofy measurements of feet, inches, cups, teaspoons, etc. Again, just suggestions.

Good idea, but a long way to go The idea behind this application is good, but that is the end.The presentation layer is poor and not worthy of the iPhone. All it has is text, not even tables of data, no alignment of data, no pictures.*Zodiac Signs should have graphics besides the dates*Wind Chill Factor list looks the worst, i bunch of numbers with no formatting at all, this should be in a table, and not in an endless 2 column lines, but in Columns showing 4 different wind speeds, hence 25% of the current length*Area Code needs a backspace. and when the screen rotates (landscape) it is no longer centeredLike I said the idea behind the info is good, but it looks like a high school project on a limited budget and resources.

Okay but, In the birthstone section it says that March is Jasper. March is Aquamarine.

Great App Great App. BUT... the usual American birthstone for August is Peridot, not Sardonyx. Sardonyx is a traditional one used in Russia for September and is blue. In America, everywhere you ever look at birthstones - Peridot (which is GREEN) is used for August.

Very cool Now I can delete all those notes I have on my iPhone with basically the same info. I gave it four stars because the UI really needs some work. Other than that, great job.

Upgrades are Great I first gave this app three stars on the previous version. All the issues I had were resolved with the new version. I now find this to be a very helpful tool. Worth the money. Area code finder is very easy to use and accurate.

I'm glad I came across this App I wish I would remember that I have this app more often, since I sometimes need to know info such as ideal weight range, or a time zone for an area, but I sometimes forget I have this handy app. I'm getting better though!!! I used the international dialing code when I was on vacation the other day. Overall, a really good app with bits and pieces of useful information. Now that I know how useful the app is, I would even pay two bucks for this (God, I'm cheap...;-) By the way, the new area code tool is really cool to use too (best part is...It's included for FREE).

Not a 500 screen reference book, but just the right amount of info . I read the comments and had low expectations. But once I got the app, I have no idea where some of the negative commenters are coming from. It does have a simple interface, but that makes navigation that much faster. Give it a try though, it should come in handy at some point in time and you will be glad you downloaded the app, many times over.

Excellent application - Handy, useful, fast, and lots and lots of information!!!!!! This is the best application ever! It has so many different applications built into one, making it just amazing! I show it off all the time to others saying look how much information is in this one application! I love it. It is worth so much more than the $.99 price being charged! This is the first time I've made the time to write a review, but this application is so wonderful and useful that I had to rate it. Don't hesitate, buy it.

Why I gave this app 5 stars: This is a great collection of information from a variety of areas of life. The application has a lot of great potential, which is why I've rated it highly, but there are a few adjustments that need to be made:
- the interface needs improvement; smooth transitions, better layout, etc.. While not vital, this would greatly enhance the experience.
- needs more organization
- more depth on some of the material
Otherwise, great job and a big thanks to the developers!

Been Waiting For this forever! Great information at your fingertips! Has all the stuff I'm always needing. Worth 5 X what I paid! - HandyFact - Life Impacting Info & Facts review by Dazes and Confused
Good Amount of Summarized Info when you Need it Quickly Look-up of various reference info is quick and easy with this app. Simple interface makes quick loading of pages and small footprint on my iTouch. Don't expect a 500 page reference book though (like some of the other somewhat clueless purchasers). I read the comments and had low expectations. But once I got the app, I have no idea where some of the commenters are coming from. Maybe they are pissed off developers that are losing money to this comprehensive app? I don't know. Give it a try though, it should come in handy at some point in time and you will be glad you downloaded the app. - HandyFact - Life Impacting Info & Facts review by bestfinder
Good app but.... The interface is not very aesthetically appealing. Please redesign it.
Good app though. Keep adding more info. - HandyFact - Life Impacting Info & Facts review by Camfromomaha
