Ask Siri
Please get rid of the constant ask Siri logo that constantly pops up now every time one opens the app. If I want to ask Siri I will on my own. I do not need to be prompted every single time I open the darn app. I have stopped use if this app as a result of this problem, and will not do so again until this issue is resolved. Great app otherwise.

Doesn’t show equations
Don’t bother if you are interested in technical subjects.
Please Update......
Very nice app, but can you please update the app so that it can be viewed in split view in the new iOS? thx!
Several crashes
Disappointing. After saving a number of pages it periodically crashes and I lose everything. Happened several times. The idea is good but useless if it crashes every so often wiping everything out.
Not worth a penny
There’s no settings at all! You can’t set your article reading preference ie text color or text size. There’s no theme color adjustments, you’re better off with the Wikipedia app.
Great Usability
Works just as intended. Very flush navigation and ease of access to previously viewed articles.
Good !!!
This app is really amazing ..!!!
I like it
No disappointments so far. It does everything I want it to.

In true Wikipedia style, very authoritative and complete in it's coverage on every subject i've investigated. Plus it allows You keep everything You look up at your fingertips.
Great way to get info
Use this to research various items. Most items checked were very informative. Good way to find various answers to different subjects. Detail is good. Highly recommend
Wikipedia under control at last.
What I am *really* liking about Wiki Squared is the focus it gives me on Wikipedia. I have bookmarked the same sets of articles multiple times in multiple ways on my computer with the intention of using them as a reference. But Wikipedia is so vast, and the links take me far afield, and soon I'm lost with 30 tabs open, and I never really get to my research. Bookmarks are difficult and static. With Wiki Squared, I have an organized subset of Wikipedia on my iPad. The keywords allow me to group and access the pages easily. I especially like that the pages are automatically brought locally resident.
It all works seamlessly. Access Wikipedia like normal, and every page you access is brought local to the device. Keywords are a great way to organize them. As you view each article, you can easily assign any or all of your existing keywords or create new keywords as the need arises. As you choose a keyword from the list, it moves to the assigned stack and disappears from the potential stack. Very clear. Tap, tap, tap, and you are organized.
The article titles are shown in an index. One can view the index in alphabetical order or in chronological order. From the index one can use keywords to narrow and focus the search.
As one crawls through Wikipedia, and the articles are brought local, you can use the page forward and page back icons to quickly navigate through your pages. No more long line of open tabs. Since the articles are local, they are never lost and you can easily navigate to them again. Articles that are of fleeting or no interest can be easily pruned off the top of the chronological history. For me, the "Keep track of where I go and save it all, and I'll clean it up later" works better than "Do I want to remember this article or not, and do I need to take an action before I lose it?" The latter is how I've always had to use Wikipedia before Wiki Squared, and it always left me with a lost hopeless feeling as I wandered the vastness of Wikipedia. I have long lists of dusty bookmarks on my computer that I may or may not be interested in viewing again. With Wiki Squared, the articles that remain after I do a little pruning are the ones I value, and they are easy to organize, find and view.
The developer is active and responsive. I have had the opportunity to exchange emails with the developer, and I get the sense that this is a vibrant and growing application with a great future.
Wiki Squared has revolutionized the way I use Wikipedia, and I highly recommend it.

Terrible
The worst app I have. No comparison between this and the real Wikipedia. Waste of time and money. Three searches of different topics brought up virtually nothing. What a disappointment.
Really Needs an Update
For this to be considered a valid, and useful app, the index really needs to be fixed.
Index stopped working, too bad...
The main reason I got this application was because it seem to have a good index when I first got it. Now that they disables yesterday, I'm going to be looking for something somewhere else. Thanks, Scott Perry
Nice but....
I like the closed browser interface. It would be nice if you could save and print the articles.
doesn't load pictures; crashes regularly; doesn't autocorrect searches
Like I said, not so great
Crashes every time
I need a wiki app on my iPad. Please fix the crashes.
Constantly crashes
Worst app I have ever used. Crashes constantly and the articles all disappear.
Fix This!
The app seems to work OK. However, there is an annoying message each time I open it that tells me the app crashed. No matter which of the three choices it gives, it still appears upon opening.
Used to work
Crashes constantly. Applied the update but still crashes.
