Instant access to medieval manuscripts that can be downloaded as PDF. I love it!

It would be more preferable if you update the download option. It lags too and the download option does not work.

Wonderful app Thank you BnF for this convenient app which allows me to easily research and download precious historical archives from my tablet. I hope that many National Libraries will try to emulate this app in the future.

Update it! This is probably one of the most unstable apps I have on my phone. Just a few bugs: It's so slow that can't even load a page from "Le Temps". (I do have a working net connection.) Also, why is it not possible to DL articles anymore? They are supposed to be free. I can't even view a set of photos, too. There's no way to b'mark a periodical, so you need to perform a search each time you need to access its articles. And the app doesn't run in the background. How smart is that?

Virtually useless app that gives access to an equally useless French national resource that is very poorly organized. I am a fluent French speaker so that is not an issue. Rather it's the ludicrous organization of material. Searching for anything on WW2 resistance leader Jean Moulin brings up exactly nothing!! . After 35 mins. Trying different search words. It's like using the net in the early 1990s.clunky, slow frustrating. AVOID. Use english language sources instead
