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.

A very limited version of Wikipedia

To be honest, viewing WP on Safari is a better experience. The app only allows searching and reading. There is no search history, no saving function, nothing. Just search, read and forget.

Great to use on the side.

Really enjoying this feature and i'm minutes in.. theres just so much you can do!

Leider nicht so gut wie Wikipedia im Browser

Was mich an der App stört, ist, dass Tabellen nicht sortiert werden können und dass die Seitenleiste im Querformat nicht ausgeblendet werden kann. Ansonsten ist sie ganz gut.

Nothing compares

I’ve enjoyed this app for many years and still consider it crucial to research and learning on my 1st gen Air. It seems my old pad is aging out, unable to update to latest iOS or get updates like the one I can’t access for Wikipanion.
I would certainly pay for the Wikipanion interface for my MacBook Pro, as I’ve been unable to find anything close. I have extensive bookmarks that I’d love to transfer. Robert Chin, tell me it exists for macOS and I only missed seeing it. Tell me!
Alas, your web page seems oldish and you’re likely moving on, as is proper. We can’t have it all, but I sure appreciate years of use from a truly excellent app. I’ll keep using it until the pad, the app, or I perish. Cheers, Robert

How the Mighty Have Fallen

This used to be the best Wikipedia app on iOS, bar non.

I have used this app since AT LEAST 2011, but today I switched to the official Wikipedia app. The biggest reason is the consistent bug where if you hit the back button from one article to another the screen will seize and becomes unusable. This has been a bug for all of 2021 if not more than a year.

Wikipanion, fix this bug and I will be back to use the pro version. I love your app and I have been a LONG time user. Please dont forget about us long time users.

Awesome!

Just AMazing...I prefer using this over any in-built dictionary provided by apple. A very good job by the Develooper...Thank you so much.
IT would be even betetr if there is an option for tabs in the window...just as there is in Apple dictionary

Lots of issues with page layout

Same pages with poor layout look great in Safari or Chrome.

Parfait sauf que...

... si vous avez plusieurs iPads c’est une catastrophe pour se retrouver dans les sauvegardes, chaque tablette garde sa configuration de sauvegarde car elles ne sont pas centralisées.
C’est vraiment dommage parce que cette application paraissait parfaite.

Brilliant

The app I didn’t know I needed. Massively helped with my education and keeping subjects organised.

A gem

A must-have app for me. A perfect iOS experience atop Wikipedia.

Stopped working after iOS 13 update

What happened ?

Was a better app then is now

Wikipanion used to be a free app with a few extra features than the official wikipedia app.

Those features have now been removed and moved into the paid app.

If you book marked any sites on the old Wikipanion those book marks have now been removed unless you upgrade to pro which is $8.00.

You have to wonder what feature will be removed from the free version next.

Seriously, don’t bother. download the official Wikipedia App which is now free and will stay free and will not remove any features over time.

Dual screen mode

Every Time I try to put this app into split screen mode on my iPad it bugs out.

Great

Works great. Been using it for ages. Fast and simple. 5 Stars.

Bias overcomes usefulness

Too politically biased to be useful.
