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 application's 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.

You get all this for USD $2.99, approximately the cost of your favorite coffee drink at your local coffee house, with free updates as they come available. Please feel free to contact customer service at any time with any questions you have about MetdiaGem™ before, during, or after your purchase.
