Encyclopædia Britannica for Positive User Reviews
✓ Worth every pennyDon't buy into the hype, Wikipedia is fine if you need to know what happened in Episode 3 of season 2 of your favorite cartoon, but if you want or need real scholarship this is the app to have. The articles are both accurate and well-written, the price is a reflection of the fact that actual professionals write the pieces. If you can afford the 2$ a month this is well worth the price..Version: 1.1
✓ Great Update!So excited Britannica has opened up their content in the app! And the quizzes are a great addition as well..Version: 2.0
✓ No more additions plsI think the programming of this app have done well to function and for me, it doesn't crash. I predict that it would starting doing that if adding more features, such as bookmarking/page marking. It's a spectacular app! So much use of creativity put into this and other users need to start using their imagination to stay ahead! You're awesome!.Version: 2.0
✓ Knowledge should be freePlato,Socrates ,Aristotle,Newton shared their knowledge for free. Even Einstein was not in pursue of wealth during his fruitful career. "All the knowledge of the world is useless if it cant be shared for free",said Socrates. I wouldn't mind paying $30 for the entire encyclopedia but $3 per page hinder my quest for knowledge I appreciate the effort of those who created the app,digitalized the wealth of knowledge . They deserve to be rewarded for their effort . But we do need more free stuff for learning . I gave 4 stars anyway cause the app is fancy and easy to use..Version: 1.2
✓ Good App, UI could be updatedGood information, better than 99% of the junk out in the world that “claim” to be of professional reference. Application not bringing up content properly. Tabs need to be updated and are slow in loading information.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Thanks for the updateDoesn’t have nearly as many articles as Wikipedia, but it’s much more family-friendly. It has an article for “Star Trek: The Original Series,” but the encyclopedia would be better with general articles for “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.” It should be marked as having “in-app purchases”, because there’s a premium subscription. Next to the “get,” I should see small letters for “in-app purchases.”.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Great app…but…Could use a “back” button. Great, otherwise!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Unbiased and straight information for a small feeBe wary of any free online “pedia’s” out there. For $15 a year this is a great deal. Devs should be pushing this product more in our school systems and social media..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Kid safe!My 8yr old loves to read about things and learn. I had a Wikipedia app on his iPad but realized you could do a lot of inappropriate searches and get images and all sorts of stuff that is not kid safe. This app however is very clean and very scientific (if he wanted to try and search something out of curiosity) tons of content for free and really cool fun features. Keep it up guys!.Version: 2.0
✓ It is really niceI have used the encyclopedia Britannica books and before I read the books i used Wikipedia, until my teacher told me that Wikipedia can be edited by people and you don’t even need an account, so after that are used the complete set of Britannica that I bought the books from eBay there from 2004 and I did attempt to read all the books ALL 32 books and I use them for studying for school, but when I’m on the go I actually use this the encyclopedia Britannica app I really love it it’s actually better than Wikipedia, i would use it like Google but I won’t delete Google for this app but I give it a five star rating..Version: 2.0
✓ Good, but...Great content. Please get rid of the persistent pop up box reminding me of the quiz feature. Please get rid of the slow animated page turns and permit continuous scrolling..Version: 2.0
✓ Pretty good so farPretty navigable at this point, willing to pay if it continues to be good. Reviewed 2022 June.Version: 2.1.1
✓ The price of knowledgeShame education and knowledge costs money. I understand there’s tons of work and upkeep and maintenance expenses yet, those free knowledge bases supply the usual information at a cost of being edited by omission, one sided views etc etc. as a big fan of those old thick hardcover shelf books, of which as a child i would peruse daily through, online isn’t that great of a desire. As curiosity of statue’s and other art gets erased from a young minds view, the books no longer collected , unavailable and dismissed due to online ventures such as social media, games and chatting with strangers, encyclopedias give way to a choice, an hurried, short learning curve, dumbed down populace. The sharing and influence imbued among actual People, other then the criminal minds has long ago become a cloudy opaque afterthought. Best regards Britannica , thank you for the adventures around the world many decades ago. Im still traveling in my imagination. For free..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great Information but Missing One ThingI love the information this app provides. The one addition this app needs is a random topic button. It would be an excellent way to discover new topics to read about..Version: 2.0
✓ Good app but could use a minor upgradeI use my iPad Pro for note taking and research for fun, and this app is a great resource for topics of interest. However I wish this app could better support the split screen multitask, as apps hover over the Britannica articles instead of sharing the screen which can be cumbersome to move the apps across the screen while note taking. I hope maybe this can be an adjusted but overall I enjoy what this app has to offer!.Version: 2.0
✓ U.S. Presidents not downloadingThis is a fun app to download. It has a variety of stuff to read and learn about. However, when I tried to read an article about a U.S. President (e.g. Jefferson, Grant, Kennedy) it said “article downloading”. I waited for at least 5 minutes, but did not download. So is there some kind of technical issue? Perhaps some articles are updating?.Version: 2.0
✓ Wikipedia alternativeEven though it costs money...(sad), this is a good mobile alternative when you need general information that you can cite for school (and Wikipedia isn't allowed)..Version: 1.1
✓ Apologies many times over…I would like to take back everything bad I said about the Fabulous Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s just that I don’t think that I am smart enough to be reading such a Treasure Tome..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great AppThis saves me shelf space, money, and eliminates research time. $2 a month is great for this encyclopedia. Keep this app for 80 years and you still saved money on buying the whole set. If you need quality information wrapped in a quality app, get the Encyclopaedia Britannica..Version: 1.1
✓ Great content!This has always been a great encyclopedia. Smart people writing well researched and thoughtfully edited articles. With the content now available, it is a joy to explore..Version: 2.0
✓ So what’s the big hurry?I really like this app! About the quizzes though, I enjoy them but would like to be able to turn off the timer on them; it doesn’t need to be a race! I would like to be able to fully read and understand the questions before answering. I find that most of my wrong answers are the result of a misread question or hurried answer. My interest here is to learn, not to stress myself out! Please make the timer optional. Thanks!.Version: 2.0
✓ Worth much more than it's priceVery informative, and invaluable for university assignments. And to the people complaining about the price: seriously? Are you listening to yourself? It's 2 dollars a month, that's nothing! And certainly much less than what it would cost to buy a physical equivalent..Version: 1.1
✓ Great App! Worth Every Penny!I had a print version of the Encyclopaedia as a child and I loved reading the articles. This app allows me to do that wherever I go. The articles are informative and easy to read. A must have for any inquisitive mind. One last thing, have you noticed that the positive reviews are the only ones that are written in complete grammatical sentences and all the negative reviews are written in gibberish?.Version: 1.2
✓ The link map is awesomeI’m loving this app so far.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Just one note…I love having access to the Encyclopedia Brittanica on my phone, and the price is very reasonable; but there is one feature that I feel is sorely missing: bookmarking. There are some articles that are so long that I don’t want to read through them in one sitting, and having to go and find the page that I left off on every time I close the app is tedious. I know I can add whole articles to my favorites and that is useful, but it would be nice to be able bookmark individual pages as well. Other than that, I think it’s great that I have such easy access to so much knowledge!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Detailed articles but...Sure would be nice if there was a one-time purchase option, especially since it looks like it just removes ads. Don't mind at all paying more up front for that option..Version: 2.0
✓ Looks like I’m not the only one complaining about subscription recognitionThis isn’t recognizing my subscription either.... And it cost a FORTUNE Update - I found out how to attach your account. There’s a small, underlined “TAP HERE”, but in very tiny print, right under the “subscribe here!” Banner. You don’t really see it. Use that and it will connect your account..Version: 2.0
✓ Reliable, verifiable, well-researchedA beautifully designed app with a universe of topics that are well-written, deeply researched, apolitical, and verified. Britannica cuts through the undergrowth of questionable online material and remains a dependable source of intelligently-presented content. With an impressively credentialled staff of experts who stand behind their work, Brittanica is still the best since December 10th, 1768..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Feature RequestPlease make it possible to select text! I want to look up definitions of words as I’m reading encyclopedia entries..Version: 2.1.0
