This app is perfect!

Wow seriously, who complains about there not being any updates? You can't improve perfection.
Good 3rd party Wikipedia reader

The formatting is great and looks very organized.BUT lack of offline articles make it a alternative and not a Must have.But with the overall visuals ,I am impressed.
best out there

i have tried many apps meant to make wikipedia a look pretty and streamline everything. This is the best one by far. I use the chrome extension on my imac too. For me, this app has made exploring wikipedia better.
Love the layout

From my humble opinion it's better than original Wikipedia app. The layout is nice, not as wiki app is more classy way and that feels you poorly. Even without any updates it's still work as it should work.
Great for learning

The "peeking" functionality of opening a small modal version of introductions to linked articles is AMAZING. Gone are the days of keeping a million tabs open while learning about something new.
No history function, limited language choices
Luhmann
Needs a history function to see recent searches. Also needs better support for regional varieties of Chinese.
Beautiful Design & Ease of Use
AlexJAnderson93
Sincerely enjoy this app. I rarely review, but I actually found myself looking for the review button so others would know. The design of the app is pretty stunning, from the link decoration to the homage to Wikipedia native font. Great job. The only piece of constructive feedback I would offer is that back swipe functionality would tremendous. Which also solve the search bug.
Really pretty, simple, and snappy

Gives a preview of another link which is a stellar feature; cleaner and easier to use than mobile site.
Not impressed.

Fails to load pages regularly when mobile website version of Wikipedia loads just fine. Unimpressed. Skip it. Frustrating.
