Outside the application itself, the best feature is that it is self-contained: you do not need an active Wi-Fi or cellular data connection to access the applications content after the initial download (other than updates). This allows you to travel anywhere and still access pertinent gem information without being hampered by a lack of a Wi-Fi connection or cellular data service.
