Ratings and Reviews
Shows great promise
Version 1.1 solves my main concern (very large fonts). You can now scale fonts and the use of Helvetica is much more appropriate and readable for the small screen. Also there is a much needed suggest as you type feature and landscape mode. There are still some quirks to be ironed out as Wikipanion is still on the early stages of development. Mainly you get a feeling of overall slugishness. The only other "wikipedia" app for the iPhone at the moment is iWik which is a paid app and offers better formatting for the articles but less features. It will be interesting to see how these two apps will fare in the future and if there is going to be another strong contender (perhaps an official Wikipedia version?). Either way, Wikipedia rocks.
Great!
Hands down, this offers the best wikipedia experience!
