UX Pain Points

Design and usability issues driving negative reviews.

Ad bombardment prevents usage

Users encounter ads after every single tap/navigation, making the app unusable even when content exists. No ad-removal IAP offered.

"Every other item I press gives an ad. I immediately deleted the guide. Maybe put an ad in less often? Way less often? Because nobody will ever use your guide if they can't use it at all"

Alphabetical-only organization requires exact knowledge

Pure alphabetical listing with no categories or search forces users to already know exact item names to find anything.

"Data base is all jumbled together. There is no form of sorting or filtering. It's just straight alphabetical"

Paywalled content with outdated free tier

Some features locked behind premium while free content is years out of date, creating frustration.

"Aside from ads every few minutes, it's not bad, it's got good info and is my other go to if I need a info on anything that starts with F, or other later letters of the alphabet (you have to pay premium for those.) 😆"

Poor readability and presentation

Font choices and sprite issues make content difficult to read and visually unappealing.

"The fonts are not easy to look at and it's wildly out of date"
