Excellent BR Resource
Thanks to Claudiu, and the tremendous amount of primary and secondary sources, the wonders of PKD’s novel and Scott’s adaptation are at your fingertips. Great work and thank you!
Comprehensive, BUT....
I know many people won't understand what about to say. though it's primarily aimed at whoever made this (specifically, whoever WROTE it), it's for anyone.
I really hate when someone speaks, with 'filler-word' popping up constantly.
Maybe you've spoken to someone, and they constantly add the word, 'lioe', to their everything they say ('like, I went to the store, y'know, and when I got there, like - I had a bit of money, y'know..)
In that little example, it had two of some of the most common 'filler-word'; 'like', and 'y'kmow'.
'filler-word(s)' are words, or combinations of, which are added (by habit) and add noting to understanding the sentence it's in. They can - in really bad cases - take up more space than the actual sentence, itself.
Like a cold, theyre picked up - a lot of times by being with others who constantly talk like that.
Like a cold, there's NOTHING beneficial from them.
Since the dawn of our current digital age, that was it; one would pick it up, and they'd passing on,but, now - with everyone communicating through electronic media,'filler-words' have crossed over, and now they're infecting written words.
The reason for my preamble -my explanation about what 'filler-word' are, is because, whilst I tried to skim through this, I was shocked by the massive times 'basically' was popping up.
To give a low-ball figure of how many times it appears and ISNT NECESSARY, I'd have to say 99.98%.
That means less than .01% of the time it appears, it actually HAS a purpose for being there, and ISNT a 'filler-word' .
If the same person who wrote this 'pedia's entry's is also the same person who did a check of it, and DIDNT notice it, it's really scary just how poorly this person's undersnding of basic English was.
I'd like to hope for the best; that whoever is behind this wants to put out the. Best thing possible, and this was just a ...'test verion'.
IFor this reason, alone, I have to give this a rating which I feel says,it was made by someone skilled enough to build an app, and shows promise, but, as of now, it's sorely lacking.
I really, REALLY HOPE that's the case (in which case, I'll immediatelyc change my stars to '5', fitting for a person, or persons who stand proudly behind their work.

Great Work, NOT only for FANS
UPDATED!
Well... if one search for "Blade Runner", there is (sadly) only ONE App...that really deals with this Cult-Movie.
BUT: I was blown away by its Accuracy!
I recommend this to every Fan... cause its REALLY a wonderful, precise and (nearly) complete Encyclopedia!
Very well done Man!
Thank you SO MUCH for this!
Btw: NO ADS!
A truely 5 Stars App...
POSTSCRIPT!
I tried to find the "alt.fan.blade-runner group facebook" to send you a correction-topic... but that group is CLOSED!
So HERE my add:
The "OFF WORLDs"-Corporation isn't "ShimaTo"...
its "ShimaGo-Dominguez"!!!
Even if its just ONE Letter... i guess, in this Case... its kinda important!
If you read THIS, please, correct a (working) communication address in the App ALSO.

Response from developer
Thank you Cosmo, glad you like it! Regarding your PS, thank you for the correction, I've updated that entry with more information. Regarding the group on FB, please make a join request, requests are usually approved. Thank you.
Amazing!
This is superb Encyclopedia to the first BR movie and books. Just needs to have BR2049 and the linking shorts added and it be even better!
Read it each day and never get tired of it. Does not need to be retired!

Great app
The design and info are great, if only it could be updated with the sequel and short stories!
