### 5/5 — Excellent BR Resource

*2022-07-14*

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!

### 2/5 — Comprehensive, BUT....

*2022-07-07*

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.

### 5/5 — Great Work, NOT only for FANS

*2019-09-15*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.
