Wikipanion Plus for iPad User Reviews

Top reviews

Mr

What a great app. Who needs to go to university!

Excellent

This is an excellent application. I have used the basic version for a long time then upgraded. It is a very well built stable application. Definitely the best wikipedia reader around. I prefer using wikipanion over the normal wikipedia on a computer any day. When ever I need to use wikipedia I look for my iPad.

The only drawback is the plus symbol in the name. I was unhappy to see them add it to the title on the home page and the apps front page. A great quality app shouldn't have to tell you how great it is.

All in all- it's a good buy.

Love the free version, this ones not so stable.

I purchases this version not only for the offline viewing of wikipedia pages on my iPad to save me some data usage when i don't necessarily need to use it, but also to support the developer. I have been using the iphone free version for some time now, and when the ipad came out this was one of the first apps i downloaded. I decided the time had come to pay for the plus version, however i feel that it has gone to waste due to the fact that the free version is more stable than the plus version. This application crashes every time i try to access the queue, and right now i am dissatisfied. If this is not fixed i will submit an inquiry with apple asking for a refund. Do not buy this until an updating fixing this major bug has been solved!

Forget the other Wikipedia apps: this is the best

Easy to find articles. Saves them offline for later reading. The queuing feature is super. And it's the only app I've found that displays the article outline and takes you to the section you want instantly.

A great way to build an mini-encyclopedia

An excellent app - if you use Wikipedia at all frequently, you're going to want Wikipanion Plus on your iPad.

All my access to Wikipedia via my iPad is now done through Wikipanion, and it means I am constructing a personalized encyclopedia of articles as I go.

Well worth it.

Good but needs categories

This is a good app in the making.

Downloading entries for offline reading is very simple.

However this app would be brilliant if the ability to organize your downloaded pages into folders or categories was added

Gotta agree with the other reviewer

Please improve on the UI for offline reading!! And if that's the only feature we're getting perhaps a lower price would attract more buyers.

The best

Wikipanion Plus is the best Wikipedia reader on the store. Lots of features and an attractive layout.

Not great

Need to make it cheaper
Buggy it doesn't auto download like it says you have to individually click
Quitting and reopening makes things appear the way they should
The splash page is RIDICULOUSLY long. I paid for the app I now what it is. Just load the page faster. This is by far my biggest irritation

Frustrating

Great idea but absolutely frustrating. Difficult to get a page saved offline. The most important core function of the app appears to be the most difficult. I would say to the developer, keep it simple, make saving the actual searched page easy and transfer a real usable help to the app. It's design feature is offline viewing however help requires visit to online dev site.
