Close to perfection.

Patrick2011Maine

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.

Coolest app ever

Mrs_Lin

Okay so maybe I'm 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 I'm so tired of using Wikipedia (which isn't even a real source) for info because I can't trust everything I read on Wikipedia but I know I'm 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 it's almost like flipping through a real encyclopedia. And the pictures are great and don't take up the whole screen which is nice! You can click on them too to make them bigger. This app is just awesome I'm just sooo happy I found it! Yayyyyy


Saving Articles

JackBeanStock

I love the app. But I'm 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 don't seem to be any account settings that enable this feature.


How to delete

Jaaayyyykaaayyyy

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.


Biased and Too Little Information + Unsubscribe

DragonStorm7

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.


No support for app

needinfo

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 don't care well it's Wikipedia for me and I hope they fail because I waisted my time contacting them.

Not very useful

Baerbaerbaer100

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