Informative but time consuming

The app is really good as in looking into the depth of topics. But i got only one complaint. Could you please fix/increase the loading speed of the app..? It takes a lot of time to process the information of the term required. Although the info is worth, the time it takes isn’t. Please fix it. Thank you.
