great app

a great way to access wikipedia, MUCH better than using safari to do so. a couple of comments: if you want to edit articles, you'll have to browse the Safari version, although this is not necessarily a bad thing.

The custom font size slider is great, however it would be handy if you had a piece of text beneath the slider which resized at the same time so you instantly know how big the text will be, otherwise it is a matter of flicking back and forth between the pref pane and the app, quite a pain.

also, article info boxes would be better if they had borders or some sort of shading, and if they wrapped to the text.

Brilliant!

Love this app and use it daily. I’d love to have a dark mode version for nighttime though!
