Latest reviews of Computer Desktop Encyclopedia (CDE) app for iPhone and iPad
Please fix the search function. Typing in the search bar is very slow. This ruins the app for me. Ill change to 5 stars otherwise.
I bought this as it is a very good reference however I am soooooo disappointed by the constant self advertising banner at the bottoms of each definition I look up. Without the banner Id give you 4 or 5 stars! Put it in the help menu or about menu WHERE IT BELONGS!! Or make the app free! Sheesh!
excellent resource. a must for understanding todays changing technologies!
CDE has always been the best computer reference, and the iPhone version is super slick.
This reference gets to the important points quickly without a lot of techno-babble but the technical terms are also explained well and easy to understand. I love the illustrations.
