Comments on Encyclopedia by Farlex for Android

★★★★★ Richard Stincer · Oct 14, 2024

I like it. I am wondering if any of the Farley Encyclopedia articles can be copied and pasted to an offline reader or somehow downloaded for offline like Wikipedia articles. That means this Farley Encyclopedia app cannot be used while offline. The Farley Dictionary can connect to this Farley Encyclopedia while online.

★★★★☆ Winston Thomas · Sep 18, 2024

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 It might be outdated or ideologically biased."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 If the information is outdated or biased why include it here in the first place?

★☆☆☆☆ TruckersRule R.Gordon · May 23, 2024

This app is not worth your trouble. You basically have to go through a bunch of hoops to use it. And then you don't have much information from it anyway. You have to be a certified professional to receive anything. Which I'm not. LOL ✌️

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Eckert · Aug 24, 2023

Broken app. Try to search and says web is not avaibile. Man I miss programs like Encarta were we didn't need a net connection. By the way yes I phone is connected its just this app is broken.

★☆☆☆☆ Bernd Kulendorff · Sep 12, 2024

Does not find half of the terms I am looking for

Does not remotely compete with Wikipedia (and serves ads).
