The apps, for the most part, also don't do me much good, as you have to keep zooming and scrolling...just too frustrating to try to read. The old PDF format was MUCH better!!! PDFs can have TOC and search, so NO advantage in the current format!
There is nothing stopping you from downloading the actual documents:

The game manual website has a "save as PDF" button in the upper right corner.

As for the WPI getting started with the 2014 control system, there is a download manual (PDF) button down on the left:

Other PDFs of control system documents can be found here:

The other tabs (KOP, Mechanical, Software) also have a range of PDFs
