My favorite wikipedia viewing tool

Much better than Wikipedia's offering. You can synch bookmarks between devices. It's fast and works with multi-media. The navigation pane is excellent, make it very easy to find a topic. Of course, there's also a search capability within the articles.

It works great without any problems on my iPad Pro 11 inch and iPhone Pro 12, iOS 18.

Hopefully, the developer will keep it working .

Sehr langsam geworden…

Viele Jahre eine meiner am meisten genutzten Apps, ist alles inzwischen sehr zäh geworden: Es dauert ewig, bis die App nach dem Öffnen überhaupt reagiert. Und nachdem man endlich einen Suchbegriff eingeben konnte, wartet man auch noch mal gefühlt zwei Minuten, bis endlich das Gesuchte angezeigt wird.
Inzwischen ertappe ich mich zunehmend dabei, die Website im Browser aufzurufen, um schneller ans Ziel zu können! War eigentlich nicht Sinn der Sache. Schade eigentlich. Aber wer weiß, was der Grund ist…

Good but logo thing

This is so great but when I try to get a logo in my photos it won’t save in to my photos and it’s real stupid. I hope you fix it in an update.
