Perfect content, but UI needs improvement

Please add an option for scrolling pages, access to summaries, and browsing by category. All three are free to use on the encyclopaedia’s website.

please support reader view and allow to control font size. thanks

Poor use of screen space and not iPhone 5 optimized

艾美 on

Hong Kong SAR China

The fact that the app is not updated for iPhone 5, more than 3 months after its launch, has something to say about EB's commitment to its apps. The UI is poorly designed in that the screen real estate is poorly utilized and there's only a small amount of text on the screen. With the letterbox mode in iPhone 5 I have no appetite to read anything on it!

Not user friendly

Kenneth138 on

Hong Kong SAR China

I can't not find my user name and pw setting after download. Furthermore, I can't set my auto renewal instruction after installation. I' can't even go to its official web to set my account as I have no user name and password set at the beginning of installation!

Powerful

Yes, I know, Wikipedia is great, and I use it a lot. But when you want authoritative information, especially on more complex or sensitive subjects, Wiki is not ideal. This app is solid, and while you need to pay the subscription fee for full content, I feel it's worth it. Useful.

extremely hard to cancel

Do not take this app as it is extremely hard to cancel.

Olde flawless Encyclopedia Britannica paper editions?

Like the quizzes section nowadays, but please assure that the full answers you provide are accurate. My score might be higher if you do! As well, could you address this related topic? The Roman Empire created the Province of Palestine under their rule. True or False?

Sad app

Frightful loading images at times. Frustrating searches. I am so disappointed. I just cancelled my subscription. Definitely not worth the $70+ yearly subscription.

Bad

Can’t flip through words sleamlessly clunky app
