I am not the author but here is a similar app for Android users. Previously it was a paid app but now it is free.

I have already tried this kind of app and I feel a bit stupid : I don't understand the use case.

In which situation do people read documentation on their phone ?

It's not well documented online, but if you use Dash on Mac, then you can set up an iOS device as a 'Remote', which lets you use your phone/tablet as a second screen for documentation, which you control from your Mac. I think that's the primary usage scenario.
ahhh I see, thank you !

It makes sense that way.. I was wondering why would anybody really need that much to look at documentation while on the go.

I occasionally use it on my iPad as an extra screen. It's also useful while on a plane. The desktop version if coding, or iPad if I just want to browse docs to learn a new API or something.

But, to be honest, I rarely use the iOS version.
