### 5/5 — This was very good

*2023-03-17*

The quality was very good. If the screen is glitching restart your phone. Overall everything was great about this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!

*2023-02-19, version 1.0*

Like all of the other reviews, this app isn’t working for us. Filled with glitches and not usable. Kids are so disappointed and the VR portion (which is what we really wanted) is now useless.

### 1/5 — Not Working!!! Fast Glitching

*2022-06-06, version 1.0*

This app has not worked for a long time and now the really cool goggles are obsolete!!  Kids are super bummed as all of our Britannica Books no longer work with this feature!  Please fix!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2021-05-30, version 1.0*

My daughter just received the britannica book set with virtual reality cardboard googles. We downloaded this app snd three others - they don’t work at all. The images just glitch across the screen over and over again. Huge disappointment.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-05-10, version 1.0*

App doesn’t work. Just runs at insane speeds and won’t work the way it should. I Guess they stopped updating the app.  My daughter loved this app And the books but her Christmas gift of just a year and a half ago is nOw useless and bound for the trash bin.

### 1/5 — Absolutely crap

*2021-04-22, version 1.0*

Such a let down.  Rapidly flashing images causes headaches and seizures.  Clearly Encyclopedia Britannica has no business working with modern technology.  They need to start over from scratch - or go back to selling books door to door.  Horrible app.

### 1/5 — Useless VR

*2021-01-04, version 1.0*

Tried on all the books from this set. NONE of the VR works. Just continuous flashing. Disappointed

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-12-24, version 1.0*

Doesn’t seem to work with the latest iOS update. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-12-16, version 1.0*

Broke with the lates iOS update. No timeline for when it will be fixed.

### 1/5 — iPhone 11

*2020-12-10, version 1.0*

Wont work with the iPhone 11. Constant twitching of the images.
