Wikipedia App Reviews

180 add

Instant rage

I just updated less than five minutes ago after not updating for a couple months and you guys still didnt add tabbed browsing and since I dont have an account all of my saved pages are gone. I only use the app to keep my safari tabs low and my bookmarks cleaner but you baptists forked me on this app. It appears to work ok but Ive used it for five minutes and it used to say saved for offline viewing with a heart now its just a bookmark that says nothing so who the hail knows! Way to go you dip sits.

Make the suggested pages optional

The latest update moves a few controls around, but doesnt address what, for me, is its most annoying feature: the suggested pages. Just because I look at the John F. Kennedy page doesnt mean Im interested in Marilyn Monroe. Or, Lee Harvey Ozwald, for that matter. It may be helpful for some, but not for me. Please make it an option that can be toggled on or off.

Wikipedia is great

Its Wikipedia. What did you expect?

World Class App

Powerful as heyl. All the worlds pages in so, so many languages. Easy to search, read, and edit. Outstanding app.

Random button gone

Hate that the random button is gone

Crashing

The people complaining about it crashing since the latest update are correct. Someone mentioned tesseracts, other pages such as the uncertainty principle and the letter M have the same crashing problem. They also have the same thing in common, animation on the page. The new version cant handle opening pages with animation and cause the whole thing to freeze and will not reset after swiping out. Since you cant tell what pages have animation on them before attempting to open them, this is a pretty much app ruining bug.

Crappy

I used to like your app it was easy to navigate with no superfluous garbage. Now I get a page full of stupid suggestions based on past searches. I use your app like an encyclopedia, just because I look up a novelist does not mean now I want recommendations of articles for novelists. Im afraid to look up a state for info because next time I fire up the app there will be a page of recommendations for the other 49 states. Im thinking of trying some other means of simple look up like buying an online encyclopedia and removing your app from my devices and your page from my book marks.

Apple Watch compatibility please

Great app, everything I could hope for in an iOS Wikipedia app -- except compatibility with Apple Watch. Hopefully it will come in next update. If so, I will add the fifth star to my rating of the app.

its work successfully

il like so much

App wannabe. Waste of time. DONT bother. Meh...

WHY have an app instead of using the website? Wikipedia doesnt know mobile. If you want a mobile app, there is NO EXCUSE for not using Wikipanion instead.

Broken

Cant open on current iOS. Worthless.

Clear and easy to use

Very clean and simple interface, allows you to focus on the information

New update is crap. No more news on front page

Crap

Lax proper iOS 9 support

The lack of slide over support and split view support cripples an otherwise useful app. Wikipedia get on it.

Light, Simple, Clean

Excellent. Simply Excellent.

Update Crashes App

The update crashes the App. Hopefully they put a bug-fix in quick.

Now with extra crashing!

Never had a problem with this app until the latest update. Now it locks up when I open an article. Any article. I even deleted/reinstalled it. IPhone 5c, iOS 9.3

Great App

Bring back the night view; black background with white text.

Awesomeness

New improvements make the app great.

Very useful

Very useful tool. I use almost daily.
