The App includes a store providing several InApp purchases. These are meant as a tip jar. The InApp purchases are available for different prices, so you can pick the amount for the tip yourself. Doing so will unlock a few cool features as a reward, these are always the same, regardless of the amount of the tip. Users who have purchased the App within the last 12 months do get all these features for free, no need to buy one of the InApp purchases. Though they can nevertheless give me a tip, if they want to... ;-)

Customer Reviews
What can't it do?
I often find things useful in ways that might not be immediately obvious. The web server in Tools/Export is easily one of the most valuable features. Most file formats can be exported or (Open in App) into ICab that along with uploading and downloading with the web server makes this a go to program for file sharing when there isn't easy access to web sharing services and I'm on the same network.
And that's like two things out of fifty. I tried the other browsers and ICab has the advanced features that I come back to again and again. It's my grown up browser in a little handheld.
Full screen, download manager...
For everyday stuff, I tend to use Safari, but when I want fullscreen browsing or the ability to download and manage those downloads, this is my go-to browser.
There are rather a lot of preferences, which you can use or not. Since I do, I'm glad I can sync or back these up. Makes moving between devices easy.
great
This is like the biggest hidden gem of the app store. I call it the FireFox of iOS. As customizable as it can get. Closest experience to desktop browsing.
I paid for this once like back in 2010, I still get free upgrades! I paid again for un-necessary in app purchases to show support
