Encyclopædia Britannica App Reviews

I think its time to redesign this... Looks very old... From Britannica online subscriber

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!

If only you had a spell check. I believe people would not use google and Wikipedia so much. To look for a word and know the correct spelling is hard for the average person. I would love to use your app because it is so much more accurate.

It keeps downloading itself every time I open iBooks and its design is stuck in 2012.

Yes, it would require a large file to have all the features off-line. But since Britannica doesnt care to offer this feature, I dont care to give it more than one start.

Figured I would get access to their website when I paid for a subscription. oops

I am an ipad subscriber, and am highly disappointed you dont have the ability to send articles to a printer or create a PDF of text to print. I am a college student, and without this option this app is useless. Please add this feature or I will cancel my subscription.

Colombias article is poor and outdated

The content accessed by this app, beyond Titles or Headings, cannot be read by Apples onboard screen reader VoiceOver. Please make your site accessible for blind online subscribers.

This app is nearly perfect. It is stable. The price is quite reasonable. The content is about as reputable as it gets. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that it has somewhat limited customisation settings, it would be nice to have more font and background settings and perhaps the ability to print articles from the app. Otherwise it is a great app.

my son downloaded it years ago, and now were getting monthly charges, and I cannot find out how to cancel this. firkin frustrating. Please let me know how to cancel this. its not even on a phone we have anymore, yet i still am getting billed. for it. any help would be appreciated.

Okay so maybe Im just a huge nerd but this is like the coolest app ever for me. Growing up as a little kid I always loved looking through the pictures in Encyclopedias and marveled at how amazing our earth, history, animals, etc are. This is just like the coolest app ever and Im so tired of using Wikipedia (which isnt even a real source) for info because I cant trust everything I read on Wikipedia but I know Im getting the real deal with this app! Also, the interface is SO COOL! Literally they tried to make it so that when you flip through the pages of an article its almost like flipping through a real encyclopedia. And the pictures are great and dont take up the whole screen which is nice! You can click on them too to make them bigger. This app is just awesome Im just sooo happy I found it! Yayyyyy

I love the app. But Im having trouble when I try to save several articles for offline viewing. The "save article" dialogue box migrates down the screen to the point where I can no longer tap the "save" command button. Please correct in future version. An other problem is there is no way to synch your "saved" articles between your iPhone and iPad. There dont seem to be any account settings that enable this feature.

It took me a while to figure it out. It was only useful to me once, but it stayed active for a long time. To unsubscribe you need to log onto a desktop computer, open the iTunes store online, go to your iTunes account settings, click subscriptions and unsubscribe. Hope this helps someone.

Most articles are slanted to the liberal point of view and in some cases the facts are altered to fit that point of view. This is particularly noticeable with politics, history and the debunked global warming theory. Additionally, many searches have come up empty. Was a waste of $14.00 I will not repeat. If you are a liberal incapable of thinking for yourself you will like this. TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to bottom of App Store Main Page where your email address is listed. Tap on that. Tap View Account. Enter your account password. Tap on Manage Subscriptions. All apps that you have a subscription to will be listed. Turn off Auto-Update. It will tell you how long your subscription will still be good.

I tried to contact them 3 times over a month via web form. They did nothing and no response. Even as a paid subscriber they just dont care well its Wikipedia for me and I hope they fail because I waisted my time contacting them.

I want cancel a subscribtion. but i dont know where i can so plese cancel s subcribtion

You get just the first paragraphs of a few selected articles. Thats it. Not too useful.

Great app! Thanks.

3 out of 4 searches just spun the wheel. Removing app will check back and give it another try.
