Almog Design has released US Gov.Index 1.0.1, an important reference app for users looking for a better way to find government information. The application is an alphabetical directory, providing access to thousands of U.S. government agencies and departments. Features include easy access and direct connection to any website of the user's choice. US Gov.Index removes the information overload and confusion that's typically present when trying to locate a specific branch of the government.
Anyone who has ever tried to find specific government information knows how frustrating the hunt can be. It can take hours or days to find the branch you need to contact. Often, there's a lot of sifting through search results, waiting on hold or being bounced around from department to department.
That was developer, Almog Koren's, experience too, "I was looking for a government site, which has certain information. Unfortunately, there are so many that I couldn't find what I was looking for." Koren knew that others had the same problem and decided to do something to help. Realizing that there was really no good way to list so much detail, Koren made an easy decision, "I thought a simple iPhone App would be nice."
'Simple' is a modest description for this type of application, which connects users to the websites of literally thousands of different agencies and departments, all with a tap to the screen. Finding a specific site, for example FEMA, Social Security or the White House, is a matter of tapping on one of the letters associated with the site or agency and browsing to find the exact department you need. By giving the agency or department name a double tap, the user is taken directly to that website, where they can find specific information and contacts.
Features: * Easy, user-friendly interface * Search by letter or use the popular agency button to quickly access the 22 most sought after agencies * Touch screen technology lets you make selections with a simple tap or two * Does the work of sifting through endless amounts of services listings * Fast, convenient and portable
US Gov.Index can save users a ton of time and frustration. It only takes a few seconds to locate and access sites, as compared to manually scrolling through lists and phone books. At ninety-nine cents, this one is vastly underpriced for the service it performs.
Pricing and Availability: US Gov.Index 1.0.1 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Reference category. Promo codes are available for qualified reviewers. Please specify the website or blog you represent when making your request.
