Ratings and Reviews
Feature Request
Please make it possible to select text! I want to look up definitions of words as I’m reading encyclopedia entries.
Bias
I find political bias in their entries. Not cool. As a teacher I expect to find facts without colouring for or against any political party or its representatives. Cancelling subscription.
Looks like I’m not the only one complaining about subscription recognition
This isn’t recognizing my subscription either....
And it cost a FORTUNE
Update - I found out how to attach your account.
There’s a small, underlined “TAP HERE”, but in very tiny print, right under the “subscribe here!” Banner. You don’t really see it. Use that and it will connect your account.
