I used to use the (un)mentioned 'encyclopædia' frequently, but over time, I noticed something; In this age of 'contributing', i.e., doing the work, such sites as W'pedia (and sadly, IMDb) have become 'home' to people who don't understand simple English grammar rules. Some don't understand what simple English words are, yet, instead of doing a little research, they plod ahead. They're more interested in doing as much as possible - writing as many reviews, articles, so they can - in a pathetic sense, build a name for themselves. If this sounds like 'nitpicking', it's not. It's much closer to someone saying to someone who's going too run errands for you (and you're depending on) to get several price quotes on a major job, and to pick up your very fussy partner's favourite chocolate. When this person you counted in returns, they've engaged for someone to do the major job - and forgetting how much it'll be, and instead of the chocolate they came home with cashews. If the person doing the work doesn't understand the basics, they're only going to 'contribute' garbage, and some of these 'names' (a very small percent do most of this 'writing', yet, their own CV, their background of why they are a good candidate to do this is nowhere to be found). The result is much of what's their (and not just in W'pedia, IMDb, but any of these sites which are mostly contributed writing) is garbage, and anytime who goes to such a place is at risk of not leaning, but mis-learning. In the case of W'pedia, an 'encyclopedia's nothing more than a basic source of information. It's not - as some of these semi-literates think, a place to write an entire novel on a subject (or steal someone else's published material). It's not - in more esoteric subjects, a place to write in high-level mathematics, nor in computer languages, nor anything else. It's simply a starting point for the reader. The READER's the most important part, NOT the ego of some fool 'writer'. Another - huge - problem is that many of these so-called frequent contributors don't even know basic English grammar. I'm not trying to sound 'snobbish', but there's simple grammar we all follow (when I mentioned this once in a 'talk' page this very idea, and that there should be some sort of 'gate' to let people who - as an example - use 'filler-words, constantly, such as 'however', and 'basically', I was called out... told by some idiot I was 'mean', and worse. This... person, as many other simpletons don't get, i -- UNOwenNYC, 2020-08-25 ### *---- "This app doesn’t work" This app looked like it had a lot of potential When I open the app and look something up, it pulls up a page that says “No internet available. Tap to retry”. I have an strong wifi internet connection and a strong cellular data connection but it is not working. Please fix this. -- Isaac Lloyd, 2020-07-08 ### ***** "Great Encyclopedia" I do research all the time, and this is SO useful and handy. Great quality and easy to use for school. I 100% recommend that you get this sourse -- my_milo, 2020-06-24 ### ***** "Enciclopedia" Very good,love it. 😎 -- Sanjuan2013, 2020-02-05 ### ***** "Very good" Great encyclopedia. -- Dibop, 2019-12-31 ### ***** "Better use of time" I was wasting too much time surfing reddit, watching YouTube or reading news. I decided it was time to make better use of my time by learning as much as I can about anything/everything. This app is awesome for learning facts about whatever you want. Enjoy. -- Engrish prease, 2019-10-24 ### **--- "Worst" It says no internet available. -- lol2.37.re, 2019-10-04 ### ***** "Simple app for learning" I love this app, it’s simple and fast, keep up with the updates because I want this app for a long time. -- Carloset1990, 2019-09-07 ### ****- "Good...but" This is a good app but if only it had topics or categories to browse by. I can’t always come up with the exact subject title to put into search and would just like to browse. Other than that it’s good for knowledge. -- darleneg20, 2018-12-18 ### ***-- "Great idea" I looked up many words and the majority of them could not be found. Needs work. -- Bella Sakti, 2018-08-31 ### *---- "Disturbing....." I looked for over a dozen terms (from the Straight of Gibraltar, to fait accompli) picked randomly from my Encyclopedia Brittanica (hard cover), and the results we're not encouraging... It returned a roughly the-way split; no results at all, correct results, and results from an Encyclopedia from the USSR, circa 1979. Admittedly, some of the results differed little from a more current reference, but honestly.... 1979??? From the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic??? Not the source I'm looking to as trustworthy, and, with the march of technology and available tools, the accuracy will simply continue to wither. If I'm looking for an up to date and accurate source for research, I'm sorry, but this isn't it. -- Jsguero, 2018-08-04 ### ***** "Good program" A great source for knowledge. -- Lewis7376, 2018-06-24 ### ****- "Needs a table of contents" It would be lovely to be able to choose a topic or subtopic so you can see related subjects of interests and just generally choose one you’re curious about that you may not have thought of. -- apineovercoat, 2018-06-14 ### ***** "Incredibile" super utile !! -- Minn Zayar, 2018-06-01 ### ****- "Great app; however" It would be nice to have a way to search by basic subjects, or categories. -- Nightlight 41, 2018-05-23 [View all Encyclopedia by Farlex reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Encyclopedia by Farlex In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | Ad-free upgrade | $4.99 | ## Encyclopedia by Farlex Discovered Keywords -
