What a scam...

This app has no content as the only thing it does is sending queries to WA (for which I have already paid buying WA app!). I doesn't have anything stored offline so it's completely useless unless when connected to a fast broadband.

Weak

This is a good example of what happens when software engineers overreach. (I am one; I understand the failing.)

This is a weird mix of dictionary-ish articles and obscure stuff that reminds me of the feeling of reading the CIA Factbook. A buffet of random facts that does little to educate.

Perhaps hiring a music teacher who can product manage a redesign would help.
