The Only Watch wiki app, some features broke though
This continues to be the best Wikipedia app for the Apple Watch, despite being 5 years since the last update. Perhaps it is the only one? I can’t find another.
However, the time since last update is showing itself some. The download feature for the pro version I can no longer get to work on a recent Apple Watch (series 10, WatchOS 26), when it used to work as recently as the Watch 9 and the previous WatchOS version.
Also, article lookups never got the watch keyboard added. Your choices for entering your search terms are voice, draw characters, or type from your phone. If I am only on my watch, I would really like to be able to use the watch keyboard to enter search terms.
Those are the two glaring issues that knock this down a star, but there are some other nice to haves I’d be interested in, like bulk downloading certain types of articles like Kiwix, or in-article hyperlinks.

Restore purchasing doesnt work
Hey please check Restore purchasing, it doesn’t work, I purshased once I don’t want to purchase again. Also, articles somehow always being not finished on my watch (u2). Otherwise, thanks
Two things — internal links and navigation
This is a great app! MiniWiki is exactly what someone would want to use to read Wikipedia on Apple Watch. All I have is two suggestions for this app:
1. Outline/Navigation: All Wikipedia articles are organized into headers, and it can be confusing to find where you are when the screen of a watch is small and the article has a lot of text to scroll through.
2. Internal links: part of the key Wikipedia experience for me is being able to click a link on one article and navigate to another. But in MiniWiki, all hyperlinks between pages are disabled. Why? Even if it’s a setting, I would love being able to navigate around pages.
That’s all for my App Store review!

Good
A really good app, I use this app all the time
📚 🧠
still works great after all these years (even though, a quick lil update would be nice, though).
Ernsthaft?
Nicht einmal die Watch Tastatur verfügbar sondern die auf dem iPhone nutzen. Sorry, da kann ich Wiki gleich auf dem iPhone nutzen. Bekloppt.
Funktional! Sprache einstellbar 😃
Danke, funktioniert auch deutsch - das war nach der Installation eine angenehme Überraschung!
Sehr gut nutzbar auf der Watch, zumal die Spracheingabe bei Apple inzwischen sehr präzise ist. Tastatur- oder Scribble-Eingaben sind natürlich auch möglich, aber erfordert filigrane Akrobatik und feinmotorisches Fingerspitzengefühl.
Die Darstellung samt Gliederung ist dem kleinen Display angemessen, manche Bilder werden ebenfalls angezeigt.
In der Pro-Version kommen die Funktionen Bookmarks, Downloads (zum Lesen offline) und „Handoff“-Unterstützung (Weiterlesen auf dem iPhone) hinzu.
Gelungener Wiki-Zugriff auf der Watch!

The best, but could be better
I'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.

Trop court
Application utile mais un souci : on n'a qu'une partie des articles. Convient donc aux articles courts sinon le texte s'interrompt.
Amazing App
Need more Apple like these, all of your apps are on point and just work as described. Only feature that needs adding to this app is the new watch os keyboard for series 8.
Finally. An essential Apple Watch app
Cracking app for quick, impromptu visits to Wikipedia when you don’t have your phone. The app is pretty damn slick & works really well on my Apple Watch 8.
Хорошее приложение
Мне понравилось. Удобное, лаконичное, ничего лишнего, а главное - работает
ficar
f
Thanks god to let me try this
Thanks the developers to let it!
Amazing
Life changed
Making me write this review??
I haven’t even been given the chance to use this app and I have to either pay or review it soo… here we are
Bien
Bien
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
