JournalRSS is an app to discover and read scientific literature. Links to 1000+ scientific and medical journal feeds and PubMed searches allow one to find relevant articles, read abstracts, and download PDFs.

View article titles from current issues of leading journals such as Science, Nature, Cell, JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, and American Institute of Physics Journals. Many open access journals such as PLoS are listed.

Batch download PDF files from RSS feeds or PubMed searches. If you ever wanted to read a complete issue of Nature, it requires downloading 20+ PDF files with cryptic filenames. The auto download feature will download, rename, and link all the files in the RSS feed for easy access.

Key Features:
* View RSS feeds for scientific and medical journals
* Download files for offline use. (.pdf, .mp3, .m4v, .doc, .ppt, .xls )
* transfer files via open in, email, or iTunes file sharing.
* Univeral app - full screen on iPad
* PubMed viewer
* Auto download PDF files linked to PubMed or RSS feeds. (Subscriptions may be required depending upon the journal)

PDF files can be downloaded for offline reading, emailed, transferred to a PC, or opened in PDF readers such as iBooks or GoodReader. MP3 Podcasts can be downloaded and saved for offline listening. (Science, Cell, Nature, PNAS) Video podcasts can also be watched.

Bookmark your own RSS feeds and website links. PubMed searches can be converted into RSS feeds that can be saved for future lookup.

An important note regarding autodownloading. This convenience feature automates much of the tedium of downloading, saving, and renaming PDF articles. However, certain non-open source publishers are sensitive to the volume and frequency of downloads and may automatically blacklist your IP if they log too many downloads. A sensible guideline would be not to download more than one intends to read. To avoid the impression of systematically downloading a publishers entire site, the autodownload function has a limit of 100 articles at a time. Please be aware of the publishers terms of use and download responsibly to preserve this functionality.

Note: Redirection based authentication PDF downloading via Athensams or similar is not supported. You can test downloading using the free app GeneIndex or JournalRSS.
