Wikipedia Pros
✓ Fantastic ResourceI use Wikipedia most days for many things. Having it available as an app means I can more easily access it from my phone and tablet. Plus it can remember where I’ve been and more. We should all contribute to the development and maintenance of the site..Version: 5.8.0
✓ Excellent! Excellent!!I wrote a review from my iPhone but it musn't have gone through. For those complaining about slowness I find that very misleading because that depends solely on your iPhones connection speed. I used my home wireless and pages loaded instantly and when I say instantly I mean before I could look up the page was loaded pictures and all!! How can anyone say this app is slow if pages download instantaneously??? Sure if you are using a slow speed connection then it's gonna be slow but that's YOUR connection not the app itself. This is a beautiful app - an encyclopedia in my pocket and it does the job admirably and superbly. I would like a cache to be able to bookmark and keep tabs on items I want to research or cross reference but this is as good as Brittanica on your iPhone. It's searches are ACCURATE but may depend on what region your iPhone is set to. My iPhone region is set to Australia and I got correct information when I searched but if you had it set for some other country you might get different results. Like Google. With Google if you use USA you won't get results for Australia. That's how search engines work. So if you're getting USA results and are in Australia try setting your phone to Australia and you'll then see results pertinent to Australia. I did the search for Holden and first up got a singer and Australian Idol judge and did not get Holden cars. Maybe you typed it wrong. Whatever this app is perfect and can only get better but not much..Version: 0
✓ Wikipedia Positive ReviewsWikipedia Cons
✗ Bring back the old one!!!SLOW!!!!!!!.Version: 3.1.2
✗ Latest update has broken the appWikipedia on browser works fine. However the latest app update has rendered the links broken. When you click on a link anywhere in the article, I get an error message that says “The operation couldn’t be completed”. Additionally (before and after update) the app keeps refreshing the page. When I load a page I want to read later. I don’t close down the app. Later when I’m in an area with no mobile signal, I open the app only to find it’s refreshed itself and wiped the screen due to having no signal!.Version: 7.3.0
