For other developers: this app has an api that lets you pull up articles from your app. Contact me if you are interested in using it.
The application has tens of thousands of rule snippets allowing you to access feats, spells, monsters, npcs, classes and more. The application allows you to hone in the passages that matter for what’s going on in game now. Every title in every article is a link that lets you just see/bookmark that section. It has a powerful and fast search lets you find the rule you need, quickly.
It also allows you to create bookmark collections. You can bookmark passages that you want quick access to as a GM, while creating other collections for your characters, giving you quick access to the rules that applicable to that character.

Changelog: http://www.legolas.org/
I've had many people contact me about updates for the app. The vast majority of the app's code parses Paizo's Pathfinder Reference Document: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/
Unfortunately, the last update to that document was in 2016. Paizo used to update it frequently. I've been waiting to see if after they are complete with the starfinder launch if they will go back and start updating that document again. If they do, great. If not, I'm going to have to rewrite that code, which is a substantial undertaking, to parse another system reference document site.
There's way way too much content for a single person to enter in this data by hand, and as the only person working on the project, I've dedicated the time to making sure the parser is solid so that code does the data entry for me.
The starfinder srd is supposed to be coming soon: http://paizo.com/sfrd/ so I plan on giving it a month or two to see if they start updating the prd before I start the rewrite.

We use this app every time we run our Pathfinder campaigns. If you know what you're looking for (even if you don't know exactly how to phrase the search), it gets you there SO much quicker than trying to find it in the physical books (even compared to using PDFs in most cases). Also, the organization of spells per class is very useful.

Great app I use it as reference all the time, especially handy to look up magic weapons and armor.
★★★★★
In the beginning, when the ancient ones wrote the old words and the strings of life were first threaded into the flaming guitar that is the universe, this app guided them in their mission. I have yet to find a tabletop app that is as helpful, well thought out and useful as this one. If you play Pathfinder you need to use this. If you make tabletop apps you need to use this as a blueprint. If you love freedom its because this app gave you that right and you should be grateful. Needs updates tho.
★★☆☆☆
Good app in theory, but as pointed out by others, it is unfortunately quite out of date.
