MiniWiki for Negative User Reviews

✓ UselessOther than the fact that no one would ever want to sit and read a bunch of articles on their watch, this app is useless. It’s just a bunch of long onboarding screens that lead to no where and have no point. This app literally does nothing. Plus, the app never installed on my watch anyway. The 5 star rating was either given by the developer’s family or a bunch of paid reviewers..Mando_3008Version: 1.0

✓ ReviewsI was very confused on how to long in, very complicated!!.FuujdruVersion: 1.1.1

✓ 🤔Confusing to load. There should be an intro screen that declares concisely that there is no usable interface on the iPhone, only the Watch. Furthermore I paid for the extra features but they don’t work. I touch and hold an article and two options appear: “Bookmark” and “Download”. I tried both options on a few different articles yet my Bookmarks and Downloads show nothing..Champion.#2Version: 1.1

✓ Beware!This app makes you pay a “donation” to use it. This “donation” last for a period of time before reactivating forcing another “donation” to use it. There is nothing in the description. Indicating a required subscription (donation) to use the application. This is misleading to individuals thinking if they “donate” they will have unlimited use of this application. Furthermore, I don’t know how this doesn’t violate Apples policies entitling them to a percentage of in app purchases. Smells like a Scam....Scam...Scam.CdagrapplerVersion: 1.1.2

✓ The best, but could be betterI've tried most of the Wikipedia apps for Apple Watch, and MiniWiki is the best one: it displays the full article contents (rather than a summary), supports searching, nearby articles, bookmarking, etc, all in a decent UI. However, there are some annoying faults: - The app does not use the full size of the Apple Watch screen (I use AW 8 41mm). There is a ~2mm margin all around the outside of the screen. This means less text is visible on the screen, and the “← Back” button is not in the extreme top-left corner as it is with other Apple Watch apps and requires tapping slighly towards the center of the screen to go back (which requires tapping a few times to hit). - The search function lacks keyboard input on the Apple Watch (it allows input via iPhone keyboard, Scribble, or Dictation). (I guess this app was created before the native Apple Watch keyboard was released with build-in swipe and dictation.) - There are a few minor UI glitches, such as on the search screen there are three blue round buttons, but their tops are cut off so they're almost half circles. On some screens with both a “Cancel” and a “Done” button, the Done button is a different font size or is not right-aligned with the right side of the screen, instead is cut-off. - The Wikitext of article content is not rendered fully: headings retain the “== Header ==” markings, and links are not clickable. - The iOS companion app has almost zero functionality: you can't search or read Wikipedia articles there, adjust settings, or manage bookmarks. I think the only purpose is to assist in purchasing Pro MiniWiki, links to contact the developer, and to view bookmarks (tapping one opens the Wikipedia article in Safari; you can't add or edit bookmarks here). The iPhone app UI is confusing: if looks like a tutorial that I expect to be able to dismiss to be able to access the real app. - The developer has not provided privacy details, so we don't know how they are using our data..Q ✨Version: 1.1.2

✓ Fundamentally flawedSearch only brings up limited results, to the point where it is unusable. A novelty app or proof of concept app at best..LefthandedsecretVersion: 1.1.2

✓ BrokenThe app does not load.Shocked parentVersion: 1.1.2
