It's really handy to have an Encyclopedia at your fingertips. Lately, I've been reading some very old books, and they refer to things that no longer exist today, or use terms which are rarely used. It's fascinating. The app is super fast and informative.

★★★★

The encyclopedia seems to be good; I was able to find information on all items I searched for. There is only one suggestion I would like to make: At the beginning of many entries I saw this message: "The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated or ideologically biased." Well, when we look something up in an encyclopedia we naturally expect accurate information. If the information is outdated or biased why include it here in the first place?

It's my first time that I'm using and reading Encyclopaedia. Where I'm experiencing regarding this book is really helpful to me for getting different information through this guide book.

Fair. I think it should contain graphics, video and also work offline.
