Customer Reviews

Lacks Content/Few Features (2 stars)
First, let me say that I have somewhat enjoyed this app... & I am a current subscriber. Probably not for much longer though. The Articles lack content, & many times will not fully cover a topic. Often, they will not even include links, or related articles. I have had some reservations about a few of the assessments made on political topics. When shortened, leaving out key political details can be misleading, & may have an impact

Hard to cancel (2 stars)
I suppose I should have known this, but they sure make it difficult to cancel your subscription. Don't subscribe unless you are really sure you want to keep the service, 'cause it's tough to get rid of!

No replacement for Wikipedia (1 star)
Unless you subscribe for $1.99/month, this is no replacement for Wikipedia.

The free material is skimpy and does not scratch the surface for even the most basic information.

Stick with Wikipedia and the many links it provides to the source material. And, you can always fill out your search with the WWW.
