Browsing, I came across a package that includes the Encyclopedia Britannica for less than half of the price of the set alone. Looking at the reviews though it seems like there were some complaints about what was promised vs what was delivered.

So, I was wondering if people who had purchased this could offer insights as to whether it was worth it.

Thanks

    The real one is great and gets updated, but the Logos (formerly Noet) is limited and doesn’t get updated.

    I guess $8.99 a month isn’t so bad. Would this have standalone apps for the computer and tablet? Or is it a browser app?

    I think it’ an app for desktop and mobile.  I had the free version a good while ago, so don’t know much about it.
