Encyclopædia Britannica Reviews

Bookmarks, dictionary

sveltesal

As others have pointed out, this could really use a bookmark, place holder feature. After leaving the app there’s no way to return to where you left off. On the web/browser version in the help it talks about bookmarks but I’m unable to find that feature so decided to try the app but it’s the same - no way to mark progress. A dictionary would also be nice. In a browser it’s not so bad as I have a Chrome dictionary installed but I still have to manually lookup a lot of words. The app could really use it. Terrific content but frustrating to use.

Poor Customer Service and Content

Encyclopedia Britannica content is sub-standard in every regard. Out of date, incomplete, narrow. This is a poor successor to the beloved book set of long ago.

No bookmarks!

Blk few

I love the content but no bookmarks. Really? Reading a 300 page article and I can’t mark where I am at? Unbelievable! My last renewal if not updated.

Good App, UI could be updated

TechUser2010

Good information, better than 99% of the junk out in the world that “claim” to be of professional reference.

Looked good for a few page turns

Xenbo

Tried it and seemed pretty good and then it popped up a “remember to take a quiz” popup and then the screen went black and began flashing in and out of the page. Seems too buggy for an app that wants to charge a subscription.

app needs some serious 21st Century improvements

When you open this app, you’ll be transported to the 80s... 1880s! Rimshot! Seriously, what are you spending money on? Rewrite the app.

This app needs a major update

SgtGallifrey

I love the Britannica content but the app is very outdated for the newer generations of iPhones.

Does not give bibliography info

Newjerzeeg

My son did a report and wasn’t able to do a complete bibliography because you don’t have any information.

Great!!!

Great application and beautiful design But it would be better if I could go through it like a regular books Wanna read multiple articles but alway lose track after exiting article

No more additions pls

I 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!
