- Fixes links that lead to areas in the same page
Ratings and Reviews
Numerous issues and seems to no longer be maintained
- Crashes each time you switch from one wiki to another
- Can’t view many images
- Can’t listen to most audio files
- Large pages on other Wikis (e.g. Wookiepedia) don’t load properly, formatting gets messed up, e.g. references / footnotes get squished together
This used to be my go to Wiki app but it appears the developer no longer maintains the app (last update over three months ago) and numerous small bugs have crept in. Will start using the official Wikipedia app for Wikipedia and websites for other Wikis. It’s a shame to lose this once good app.
The best
I’ve used this since getting an iPad 2. It’s the best looking and easy to use Wikipedia app. My only request is that there be a gesture to go back a page (the usual swipe to the right brings up a useful left hand pane).
Really great, easy to use
I use this exclusively to browse Wikipedia, and I like it a lot. Unfortunately the search bar display issue is back as of the latest app and/or OS update (iPad OS 13 with latest app version). Please fix :)
