It's the best one out there and is the way to go if you need offline documentation on Mac OS X. In my opinion it should be split in several pieces to avoid accidentally scrolling to the wrong subject.ĭon't let all the negativity in my review make you think this is a bad app, it's not. The page is probably thousands of lines long. For example, the documentation about SELECT and UPDATE is on the same page. Some pages, such as the ones in the MySQL docs, are really long and they are about many different functions. The last thing they should improve is page lengths. Btw, some Drupal 8 doc pages are absolutely unreadable in iOS, especially pages that have tables in them. To fix this they should remove unnecessary footers/headers from the pages and optimize the HTML itself a little. For example: Why is the "Drupal 8" docset 500+ MB in large? That's absolutely crazy, and quite frankly not something you would like to have on your phone. But there is still much room for improvements in the docstets themselves. I know that Dash 3 has a functionality to handle archived docsets (I hope it will be implemented in iOS too), which is a step into the right direction. Tables should be wrapped in a container so that the data doesn't overflow. Make them small and make it so that the user can click the image to enter a new ios storyboard-page where he/she can zoom and look closely at the image. They should also avoid fixed sizes on images. (It's better to cut a function name for example in half rather than having the whole page show on half of the screen, and have the other half of the screen blank.). Long words should be word-wrapped, and in worst cases cut in half. Zooming, pages should not be zoomed out. The Dash team should focus on optimizing their current docsets to fit a small mobile device. Idk if this is relevant or not, but I also own the iOS version of Dash and most docstets are definitely not fit for such a small screen as the iphone 5 screen for example. If I were them I'd focus on improving the indexing and theming of the current docsets. What makes the app after all are the docsets themselves. If however the developers decide to better the quality of many essential docsets such as the MySQL docset I might consider purchasing the upgraded version despite the almost 4x increase in price. There is nothing worth paying $19.99 for in the Dash 3 update if you already have Dash 2. However, I do have some complaints to make now that a new paid update is released. The app is really good in terms of GUI-design and general responsiveness, it is definitely unmatched on the Mac platform.
