Bad
Can’t flip through words sleamlessly clunky app
United StatesLazy App and Sloppy Linking
I’ll start by saying the content here is great, and it’s written in clear and concise language, which makes it very readable. However, it feels like not much care has been taken in designing the app or in linking articles. The app itself is pretty bare bones and lacks many obvious QoL features. You can’t search favorited articles, even if you have hundreds, and you can’t add bookmarks in the middle of longer articles. For some inexplicable reason, saved and favorited articles are sorted in lexicographical rather than alphabetical order, such that all the articles with capitalized titles come before all of them with lowercase titles. I can live with that. What’s most frustrating is the number of broken links I’ve encountered in the few days I’ve been using the app, and worse, incorrectly linked articles. For instance, a link in a section of the Computer Science article discussing Apple Inc. takes you to an article on the fruit, and one in the gender dysphoria article links to the article on grammatical gender. It feels like the whole thing has been slapped together.
United StatesApp is outdated
Some links just say “Error”. The app is outdated and needs to be updated. Content is fantastic.
United StatesBUYER BEWARE
Can not sign in after purchase.Paid for app in 11/23. Can not sign in. Can’t even find a customer service to contact. DO NOT PURCHASE. Use available sources such as your public library. I gave it one star simply for the content. First time I’ve been compelled to write such a negative review.
United StatesCould be better
Unfortunately the first entry I looked up was Cleopatra. The app crashes every time. Reinstalling doesn’t help. The app needs work.
United StatesThanks for the update
Doesn’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.”
United StatesFunctional, but not many features..
The articles are great and well written but the app doesn’t have many features. There’s no continuous scrolling (or reading ruler) and the featured articles appear to be the same every year.
