The sum of world information in your hands

Having nearly the entire Wikipedia offline on my device is fantastic when traveling outside (or above) cell phone coverage; well worth the price.
Not bad, but (i've laid the FULL price), can be improved

All people who are Wikipedia devotès, have all come across, at certain times, those moments when your in need of information from Wikipedia (Wp), and for 'some reason'- you're in a place without a signal or whatever, you just can't get connected, and is frustrating to day the least. Along comes minipedia which promises to deliver the contents of Wikipedia whether or not you have a signal. How does it accomplish this 'magic'? Simple; it's not magic, it's simply loaded into your device. I didn't use the free version - everything I would need to use Wp for was not available (surprise, surprise), socu splurged, and rather than getting a piece, I got the whole 'kit and kaboodle', as they used to say. The time for the whole thing didn't take long (i have an extremely high-speed connection; Gig+), so it only took me a few seconds, but, figure on that (one time) big download as taking some time (it's best to do it before your go to bed, that way, it'll definitely be done when you awake. it's not the length of the download, it's the tediousness, so, i'd rather select 'download', and then - when I've woken up, just finish it, if necessary). For the full price,I now have the 'luxury'of being able too use Wikipedia no matter what, and that is, for someone like me (and you) - a person(much) moor interested in learning, than playing mindless tripe.- a good thing, indeed. There's nothing inherently wrong with the so, is more that I think I've been spoiled by using Wikiwand for so long, that I want that clean, simple style incorporated into Minipedia, and hopefully they'll spend time doing an 'Apple' - i.e., making the users... 'experience' as easy, as enjoyable as possible. I believe they're on the right path, so I'm pretty certain that sooner, rather than laterci be able to update this, and say exactly that, but for now, Minipedia speeds exactly what it promises (the full price version, that is), it just doesn't do it elegantly. Yet.
Tienen que actualizar
Hidekel7
Tienen ya que actualizar esta aplicación, ya estamos en IOS 10 y está aplicación necesita ser actualizada. Creo q toda aplicación que es de paga cómo está qué hay artículos de paga, deberían indispensablemente actualizar más todavía, ya que al ser de paga, LOS RESPONSABILIZAN MÁS A USTEDES. Espero que actualicen está App ya que es un buen trabajo el que ustedes han echo hasta él momento, gracias...
App crashes; developer not responsive

The app regularly crashes on certain articles. I've submitted bug reports for months and haven't seen an update or heard from the dev(s). Seems to be abandoned. Definitely do not buy.
Scam

You got to pay if you read good articles I can just go to Wikipedia read many articles as I want. And they want 9 dollars to read 250,000 articles?I don't think so. I can read a million on Wikipedia for free
Excellent idea, but so-so implementation

Works good mostly. Lots of broken links, some garbage symbols. If only they could fix usability bugs and rethink the interface - would have been perfect.
Suggestions

I bought the $10 plan. I've enjoyed it. Here's some suggestions: 1. When I open a table (say countries of the world and their populations) the back button is at the top of the screen. Then to go back to the last article the back button is at the bottom of the screen. They should be the same, or better yet there shouldn't be buttons, see #2. 2. Swipe left and right should be forward and back like in safari. That way I can confidently click on links and get back to where I was. The menu/search can be accessed from the menu button, or a dedicated search gesture perhaps. 3. Going back should go back to the same location in the article you clicked away from, not the top of the article. 4. The image placeholders are kind of ugly. That's nitpicky I know. 5. The search page should start with the box in the middle of the screen, like the google app so I don't have to reach my thumb all the way up to set the cursor. 6. Random page or suggested page would be nice. I open the app when I'm bored then I have to think of somethign to search for. Thanks!
