… Britannica intends to compete with sites like Wikipedia by appealing to “the increasing number of digital users who seek quality and reliability of information over availability.”
Huffington Post UK selected the newly launched app as its April 18th App of the Day, describing the home screen as “clean and easy to navigate” and praising the This Day feature for demonstrating how an online platform can go beyond the restraints of a physical book.
