Customer Reviews
Another monthly subscription... No thanks
Seems to be the latest App wheeze: cheap or free app of no use without overpriced subscription, in short: no use.
Britannica never learn.
Britannica are always trying to rip you off some way or other, to use this you need to pay a monthly subscribe charge. Wiki would save you the expense.
Fairly good but needs some polish
The app is pretty good, the only issue I have is that you can't purchase the subscriptions in multi month bundles. I have no problem with paying for access I just wish it could be done annually rather than monthly.
