Mostly good
I'm a bit peeved that you have to pay twice for this app if you want it on iPhone and iPad. Seems a bit tight to me.
I think the biggest shame, though is the lack of sync between the two versions. Just seems like the developer doesn't want to push the envelope any more
It's attitudes like that that lead apps to get sidelined by newer, hungrier versions from other developers

I love this app
Easily one of my favorite apps. At first I found that the 4.99$ but, for me anyways, i found that it' was worth it just for the saving feature. A little cheaper would of been appreciated this is why I only gave it a four stars.
Excellent so far
I was hesitant to purchase this product with Wikipedia being free and only two taps on the screen harder to access, however the added functionality is easily worth the £2.99.
As a science student I spend half of my life on Wikipedia, and am very impressed with the additions in functionality, particularly the panel to the left that allows you to always have the quick jump menu available. I'm also very pleased with the option to add other wikis to the search function, which simplifies searching significantly and decreases time wasted. Finally, possibly the most useful function is the offline saving of pages! A very much needed improvement to Wikipedia!
I'll update this as I use it and discover more, but so far I definitely will recommend this to my fellow students.

Terrific Wikipedia Reader
I started using Wikipanion for iPad over other options for a couple of reasons: great navigation support, both in-article and out-of-article; good rendering support for images and tables. I started using it so much that I finally upgraded to Wikipanion Plus for the queue and for the ability to save articles. I'm currently doing a fair bit of personal research and the queue and saved articles have been a great addition for reading Wikipedia articles.

Pics aren't loading
I loved this app but now the pics aren't loading correctly. I've tried rebooting and reloading the app. When this is fixed it is a 5 star program. The queue and saving content is a big plus. Please fix the picture issue!
One of my constant 'go to' apps
There are a few apps that I find myself using on a daily basis and this is one of them. It is easy to use, reliable and has a great user interface. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great way to use Wikipedia. I have tried a number of others and this was by far my favorite.
Great design and very useful
Takes full advantage of the iPad's screen space, and the added features (queuing, saving articles, etc.) are outstanding. With limited and expensive wifi on airplanes, I love using this to read saved articles about the city or country I'm flying to. The developers are actively adding new features, and very responsive -- just got an email in answer to my query saying they're working on Wikitravel integration.

Fueling my addiction...
With the Queue feature, offline reading, and the ability to add custom Wikis, Wikipanion Plus has kept me distracted for hours on end like no other Wiki app before. Definitely worth the upgrade from the free version!
Media wiki support is amazing.
Since this app first came out it has been the best wiki viewer, but adding Media Wiki site support is absolutely amazing.
Charging separately for iPad and iPhone + versions is still lame though.

Sheer Genius!
Easily one of the most essential Apps. An absolute must for all I-device users. The ability to create and store your "own encyclopaedia for offline reference is a godsend! A well executed application!
