Comments on Encyclopedia by Farlex for Android

★★★★★ Michael Chussid · Jan 29, 2023

Extremely well-thought-out and executed. A Farley dictionary is never far from my reach. Thanks for your fine dictionaries. All the best.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★☆ Edward Palos (MineMotives) · May 29, 2025

This day in download: this day in search, a book in circa 2020s release: this day in history I searched a word; zeitgeist. Thanks for letting me have a look, page 1177 collegiate dictionary, right-hand column : smile :-]

★★★★★ James Brown · Aug 18, 2023

It is very easy to use this app and really good for finding information. Simply add a word to the search box, and you will be led to an in depth explanation of it. Very useful for learning and remembering.

★★☆☆☆ Tom Baker · Jun 5, 2026

Not a real encyclopedia, this compilation of data pulls from partisan and biased sources and some of what I read on there was simply false.

★☆☆☆☆ E S (Saat) · Dec 12, 2023

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

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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 ✌️
