+**Note:** This is for issues with Poltergeist.  If you have a howto type question, please ask on Stack Overflow requested in the README.
+
+**Note:** Poltergeist depends on PhantomJS.  The latest stable version of PhantomJS (2.1.1) only supports up to ES5.  If you are attempting to
+use ES5+ features/methods your app may report JS errors or may just silently fail. There is nothing Poltergeist can do about that.  You can either
+Transpile and Polyfill to ES5 compatible code, or try the beta version of PhantomJS (2.5.x).
