I just wanted to tell the community that the iOS Pathfinder reference app previously known as PFR has been renamed to RPG Books, and is now free!
Included in the free download is the Pathfinder Core rulebook and the first Bestiary. This means that running a vanilla game of Pathfinder from you iPhone or iPad is no longer just fast and easy, it is also free. Free as in beer!
In addition, the app offers in-app purchase of all books available on from the Paizo PRD site. Also, with this latest release, the d20 v3.5 rules and a handful of supplementary books for that system is also available within the app.
Do you own an iOS thingy? Give RPG Books a try, it’ll cost you nothing and there are no ads.
As has always been the case during the six year life of this app, I’m very happy to receive any kind of praise, critique or feature requests.
Adventures ahoy!
And if we already paid for the app? Do we lose the content in it?

Naturally, your books are still yours, good sir!
Sorry to be a Negative Nancy, but...
I'm pretty sure I have an app for all the info that's on the prd for free on my Android devices.
Just checked my phone and yes I have three. One that just has the prd, one with all the feats and archetypes from the previous and splat books, and one that has spells from the prd and splat books.

Yeah, I'm a fan of it too. I was worried that it had gone away. Android has an abundance of PRD apps (I wonder what that says about iOS and android in regards to Pathfinder fans).
But PFR was (and is) a very good implementation, and invaluable for those times when I had no internet connection. Most of the android versions were harder to navigate, for sure.
Is masterwork tools not on iOS?

As far as I can tell NO.

Pro tip, all in a friendly spirit: There's nothing like a few kind words and a few bucks to keep a developer committed to that app you find useful. If you're happy with your three free android apps, good for you. But even better, give the devs some praise and don't take their effort for granted. Not judging you - you might be the best dev-praiser ever - just sayin' :)

Not faulting your business practices. I've just been pretty good with Masterwork Tools, and the spellbook app over on my android devices so thought I should mention that there are free prd apps out there. Didn't know you guys using iOS didn't have them.
Free is always nice as long as the ads (if any) aren't intrusive and/or problematic and the in-app purchases aren't predatory (like most free-mium games).
Never used your app, so I don't know if either apply. I use a competing paid app that I can't game without.
Thanks for the praise, @Lorathorn!
@n00bxqb, RPG Books is free to download and both the Pathfinder core book and Bestiary is included. So, playing vanilla Pathfinder is free, lowering the bar for newcomers. But, if you're happy with the other app nothing could be better :)
Always good to know that there's more free stuff floating out there, even for Android (and not the ones grown in Numeria either). ;)

Also, all the 5e Open Game License stuff is now available in RPG Books. Working on massaging all d20 Modern content to put in there as well.
