http://devdocs.io/ is enough for me.
Dash is basically a simple shell around various HTML docs and still has better UX.

In which situation do people read documentation on their phone ?
But, to be honest, I rarely use the iOS version.
It's a shame, IMO, that iOS apps only have two wide-distribution models: paid, with Apple, on the App Store, or open-source and, by that nature, free. There's a lot of really great software on OS X that is distributed outside the Mac App Store. Clearly there's no plan for something similar to that on iOS.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that's true. Just because it's open source doesn't mean it's free, it just means that technical users could, if wanted, compile it from source. But, especially with iOS apps, this is not even true since you do need to have a developer license and a Mac to be able to compile and run it on an actual iPhone.
So in reality, while this is open source, only developers who pay Apple, are able to install this application, even if it's open source.
You don't need developer account to build XCode projects on your phone anymore, you can just sign in with your Apple account and sideload it.
There's always been apps on GitHub that you could compile and run on your device.
If you're looking to make an app your livelihood and Apple won't let you into the App Store (or, in this case, kicks out out), you're SOL.
It's alright.
Regardless, I've happily paid for it and I'm a user.
Upside of Zeal, is that desktop is usually more comfortable for developers.
I personally never understood why this tool was so popular to start off with though. I often found myself using the original doc sites instead.
When you don't, it is a godsend.
Also, dash let you search for i.e. the class and then within the class public interface with just a spacebar.
Plus, it is a native app that you can launch quickly without having to search for the particular browser tab where you current docs is open.
Dash (the cryptocurrency) has an iOS app, that has not been approved by Apple[1].. I wonder if it is related because of the name.

How about we just ignore him and don't continue to reward him with attention?
What if he really is mostly innocent? More importantly, Dash app is still great, probably the best for documentation browsing, and now iOS counterpart is restored in some way. Isn't it a great move from his side, considering the circumstances? Shouldn't we celebrate his efforts instead of blaming him?

If Android had a phone and watch small enough for me I'd love to change over, but their devices are all for giants (and have no fitness features and not enough privacy features).
He got taken off the app store for those activities, doesn't change the fact that a lot of people find it useful.
