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

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 It might be outdated or ideologically biased."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 If the information is outdated or biased why include it here in the first place?
