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.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear that. Please try a few things to help us try to diagnose the problem. First, close the app completely and restart your device before trying to open the app again. If you still see the No Internet message, disable Wi-Fi on your device and try to open the app using your cellular connection (LTE, 3G, etc.), to see if it works now. If the issue persists, please email us at support[at]tfd[dot]com.

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.

Excellent app

I got all information what I searched for it. Fully recommended

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.

Great idea

I looked up many words and the majority of them could not be found. Needs work.

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.

Our Encyclopedia app includes multiple sources. The one you're referring to is provided for historical interest and is clearly labeled.
