This app would have been better if it had a means of saving articles for offline use. Consider adding that feature. Remember that we find the same things we find in it when we search google. And we even get more. So there should be something better about this app.

I am one star away from a 5/5 but it is not a reason to not use this encyclopedia. It's full of information, you can get lost in those pages for hours. My only critique is minimum but it would be nice to see a more interactive launch screen. The opening is a search box and that's it I think to get more users, it would be great to have a "random topic", "topic of the day", "this day in history,", like Wikipedia. Still a 4/5 for me, just limiting to a search opening is my only issue.

Useless. I have my internet but this app keeps telling me that "No internet available. Tap to retry."

Could have been better if you can save files for offline use. Otherwise, you can just use bowser and search for Wikipedia. It just links the searches to the Wikipedia itself.

Quality resource. A Random Article button on the home screen would be a fun feature.

Came up as first search result of encyclopedia offline yet does not work offline. Dont know how hard it has to be to make a book offline like all the others. Update. Changed to 3 stars as the developer actually respended positively.
