It does not come equipped with advanced settings, making it suitable for all user levels.

The installation procedure takes little time to finish and does not require special attention from the user. Once it is done, you can run the app to view a user-friendly interface, consisting of a standard window with a plain and uncomplicated structure, where you can input a Finger query and click a button to retrieve information rapidly.

It is possible to copy information to the Clipboard by using the global Copy keyboard shortcut or by clicking its entry in the context menu of selected text. There are no other notable options provided by this utility. For example, you cannot print information or save it to file.
