    You do not need a paintball manual app on an iPhone!

    You have a browser and iBooks, search the Internet for your marker manual, choose 'open in iBooks'
    You then have a free manual on you iPhone

    Downloaded few days ago, noticed there weren't any Vanguard manuals. Emailed the guy and pretty much straight away got a response saying they will be in the next update. Perfect ;)

    And @tommikka it's useful if you have no signal on site. Which regularly happens to me, especially at enclosed woodsball fields.

    Unless you are a techie, or the guy everyone goes to in the team to tech them, then you can get every manual you require for your/the teams markers before going to the site
    If someone comes to you for some random manual and a connections not available then tough, they should have thought about it/packed their manual or a copy of relevant pages

    For iBooks you don't need a live connection on site - load it into iBooks and then its ready when you're on site
    You can buy a iPhone marker manual app, but even at 69p why pay for something available free
    PDF manuals are all over the Internet on manufacturer websites and lists of links on forums

    For free you can have your manual in moments or a selection of most markers built in 5 or 10 minutes

    I tech my whole teams markers, thats 3 different brands, 7 different models, 3 different marker types completely. Most of them have been brought secondhand so simply remembering to bring manuals is frankly not the issue as many didn't come with manuals. (Copy/printouts are just a pain to keep neat and readable in a paint ridden environment.)

    Due to this, a FREE app that stores all my needed pdf marker manuals in one easily readable place without having to search for the correct manual edition on various forums is perfect for my situation. Not all of us have iPhones.

    So overall to be honest, your whole argument against it kinda kills itself when you try to say iBooks is better because it's free. This app is free...

    Oh and sorry if this came across rude, but this app is perfect for my situation and frankly your argument just didn't make sense to me ;D

    You poor poor man...Are they not able to tech themselves? Each time i've done that with my teammates, i'll go through it with them too, so they then know for next time, and it's one less thing for me to do each week :p

    As for the App, looks like it could definitely come in useful!! No point messing about finding the right iBook, just click and download. Tick Boom.

    I was not knocking the app itself or you using it on android, but directing my message toward the Apple generation who saw the post about an Android app and wishing it were available for the iPhone
    Thanks to Apple marketing its all about buying new apps that do a small niche requirement but for something the user probably already has, and charging the user a small price so that they can tempt enough sales to cover the fees Apple have put onto the developers

    Your app suits you, and its free
    In my opinion you could have a lot of manuals easily with no app requirement
    A missing manufacturer is less likely, but if missing you can download one yourself, and if its not available on PDF he wouldn't have been able to add it to the app on request so easily

    I believe the app was written by a paintballer on the UK circuit for himself to be convenient and to meet his needs, releasing it to the public is just an added benefit. I'm certain when he first publicised it and was asked for an apple version that he said he would be willing to do so - provided those asking for it funded his apple development fees. Obviously when it was going to cost more serious money for something people had for free the £s were not forthcoming

    That makes more sense. The way you had replied to me directly implicated in my mind that it was a direct sort of 'dig' at me. ;)

    Get the PDF to your phone first by opening a copy on the web in Safari
    If its a big PDF wait a moment for it to fully load
    At the top right you should get offered 'Open in iBooks'
    If not, or it disappears, then tap the PDF and 'Open in iBooks' will reappear

    When it transfers to iBooks its then transferred to your phone, you can then organise your iBooks more and make categories.
