### 5/5 — “Good to Know”

*2018-06-12, version 1.0.2*

‘What’s That’ is in my devices for several years and believe me, there is a reason to keep it...Know and read all what you can!. Ex animo, Alexis Bernabe.

### 3/5 — Great looking, needs a few more features

*2014-07-18, version 1.0.2*

Beautiful app, very well designed, easy to use.

Needs a few things:

1. Better navigation between sections of an article, especially once long subsections have been opened.

2. The ability to search for text in the article.

3. Some way to open interesting links so you can read them and return to your article or read them after. Either tabs like Safari or some sort of reading list.

Looking forward to the next version!

### 4/5 — Getting there!

*2014-03-23, version 1.0.1*

Well designed. Very pretty, very fluid. Looking forward to being able to adjust the text size (it's a bit small), but this is a great start.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2014-02-16, version 1.0*

Works well but need more features!!

### 5/5 — Colorful and useful as promised

*2014-02-16, version 1.0*

As promised this app IS colorful - a nice change when browsing Wikipedia! Also, I really really like the list of the most popular articles. It seems to update regularly, so you can see what's happening around you! All in all a great Wikipedia browser!
