The ArticleSearch© App by ForeMinds™ is a must-have, FREE App for any Higher Education student. It enables you to perform simultaneous searches across multiple sources, for easy access and instant results using your iPhone, iPod-touch or iPad!

Browse scientific papers, journals, articles, magazines and more academic publications. Gone are the days of having to perform numerous searches across different sites - not only taking up valuable working time, but also being incredibly tedious. Gain reassurance that you’ve covered all resources on your subject.

It works by filling in just one field (or small form, in the case of advanced searches) to intuitively obtain sources. These are gathered and shown as individual test tubes on screen. Tap any tube and you access its specific content, as if you did the search in the sources’ own website.

From that point, using the built-in web-browser, check short abstracts or access the full article. Save it as a Favorite or send your findings to friends and colleagues, at the tap of a button. Searches or results sent via SMS or email dont require your recipient to have the App, just Internet access to open the web address (URL).

Tip: Clear previous searches by shaking the device, and watch the test tubes get empty again.

ArticleSearch© is FREE to download. It comes with two standard search engines and a huge list of premium ones to choose from, free users can, on top of the two standard engines, select an extra one from the premium list and do the searches with all three at one time (Free users can de-select and select again, another option from the huge premium list, with no restrictions).

The App includes a selection of renowned libraries, search-engines and databases to choose from, and if we’ve missed any of your preferred ones, there is a button to suggest it directly to us to be added in to our next FREE update!

If you want even more power, help support the App by selecting one of the available expansion packs, allowing you to upgrade the maximum limit of concurrent premium libraries in each search up to 3, 7 or even Unlimited* (* whatever your device can handle). The iPhone version has no Ads at all and on the iPad Ads are only shown for users without an expansion pack.

ArticleSearch© is an easy to use, yet powerful reference tool, and is a ForeMinds™ initiative to help students save time in tasks that require academic searches, such as in the production of essays, posters, research, thesis’s, dissertations, presentations, reports, and so on, by centralising all wider searches in one place, while results are collected from a variety of sources.

Happy researching!

The ForeMinds™ Team!
