Good but logo thing

This is so great but when I try to get a logo in my photos it won’t save in to my photos and it’s real stupid. I hope you fix it in an update.

Nothing compares

I’ve enjoyed this app for many years and still consider it crucial to research and learning on my 1st gen Air. It seems my old pad is aging out, unable to update to latest iOS or get updates like the one I can’t access for Wikipanion.
I would certainly pay for the Wikipanion interface for my MacBook Pro, as I’ve been unable to find anything close. I have extensive bookmarks that I’d love to transfer. Robert Chin, tell me it exists for macOS and I only missed seeing it. Tell me!
Alas, your web page seems oldish and you’re likely moving on, as is proper. We can’t have it all, but I sure appreciate years of use from a truly excellent app. I’ll keep using it until the pad, the app, or I perish. Cheers, Robert

My favorite wikipedia viewing tool

Much better than Wikipedia's offering. You can synch bookmarks between devices. It's fast and works with multi-media. The navigation pane is excellent, make it very easy to find a topic. Of course, there's also a search capability within the articles.

It works great without any problems on my iPad Pro 11 inch and iPhone Pro 12, iOS 18.

Hopefully, the developer will keep it working .
