Encyclopædia Britannica Reviews

Not ready for prime time.

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

Paired with a subscription (managed by iTunes, not EB), this app has a ton of great content! I especially like the daily content and the ability to save articles for offline viewing -- a must for some of the larger articles. The linkmap on articles is also very nice, as it lets you visually explore related content.

A REAL Encyclopedia always available & up to date

I loved the Encyclopedia Britannica. And I especially love the app, well worth the $1.99 monthly subscription. I remember using encyclopedias in book form. They were multi-volumes, expensive and updates were only available annually. And they would take up at least an entire shelf. The best, most revered and most expensive, was Britannica. I'm glad that Britannica transitioned into digital format. I'm sure that with Wikipedia and such, print versions of encyclopedias have become obsolete. It would have been a great loss of knowledge with factual, vetted, well-written articles had Britannica gone the way of the VHS. I have been using this app since it became available. Wikipedia serves its purpose but to get the benefits of a real encyclopedia get the Britannica app.

Not good!

No

I.S. Mom

Not worth it. Only gives a little information (118 words of 868 total). Asks for the subscription to get all the info

Does not accept school login

I have access to Encyclopedia Britannica on my computer because my school provides a login through EB School. However, this iOS application rejected my login all three attempts. This app needs to fix this terminating and majorly detrimental issue in that it is rejecting members from full access. This app would receive five stars if this was not a present issue.

Unbelievable

I searched "Playstation 2" and it only had an article about the PS1 and PS Home so due to the fact that it missed out on the PS2 this is a horrible source for info as it doesn't even compare to all the content on Wikipedia! $15 a year may be a meagre amount but this "Encyclopaedia" doesn't even have a PS2 article thus who knows what else it lacks!

BULL CRAP

I'm an 8th grade student, trying to do my U.S. president reports, because the encyclopedias I use don't provide enough info, but u have to pay $15 to get more than one paragraph of basic info.

They just want money

You only get barely a page of information and sometimes the page cuts off midsentence and They want you to pay $14.99 to be able to read the rest of it. This is just a gyp and it's thievery.
