実用に耐えないレベルで重い(v1.9.29)
起動に時間がかかり、初回表示まで時間がかかる
それを疎んでバックグラウンドで起動しっぱなしにしているのだが、この前のOS更新でしばらく放置していると初回起動の処理が必要になったらしい
総合して実用が厳しくなった
plusじゃない方はやや軽い
iPhone用版は一切の問題を感じない
iPad版、plus版はあまり手を入れていないのかも知れない
OSのアップデートか何かの対応が必要だったりするのではと思っているが
使える状態であればもっとも好ましいWikipedia viewer

Crippleware
Diese App wird immer noch im Appstore angeboten, obwohl sie weiterhin Darstellungsprobleme hat.
Updates, Programmpflege? Seit Jahren Fehlanzeige!
Offensichtlich hat der Entwickler seine Bemühungen völlig eingestellt und sammelt nur noch ab und an einige der €-Krumen auf die vom Tellerrand fallen.

Great app
I use this app every day. It’s the only real alternative to Wikipedia, with the other apps being weak and featureless. It also offers things the official Wikipedia doesn’t like offline saving (reading articles without the internet), wiktionary and fandom lookups for tv shows, and searching for pages near your location.

Good but…
So this app is really good it’s just the fact that the download images function does not even work, it doesn’t even ask for access to photos so of course it wouldn’t work, fix this!
Info Box Problem
Die Info Box wird leider nicht korrekt angezeigt.
Please maintain the program…
some Wikis shows weird Displays.
Can’t add Wikis
The only wiki this app gives access to is Wikipedia. 'Adding' other wikis does nothing.
Not able to add any wiki besides Wikipedia.

Broken
This app will not add new wikis no matter how much I click the add button
Sync needs work
I have it on two iPads, it doesn’t sync the pages between them, it would be nice if they both were kept in sync, it would also be nice if there was an export/import feature. Other than that it is very good.
2022:still doesn’t keep two ipads in sync, no import/export and no updates in a year. Could so easily be superb, just needs minor additions.

Lack of updates have hurt
After really liking and using this app for quite some time, I deleted it today in favor of the official app. The developer no longer maintains the app, so it no longer gets any new iOS features. It’s also apparent that Wikipedia made API changes that were not incorporated into this app and performance is suffering badly. I give three stars only for past history, it was once the best app for Wikipedia. Today, absolutely do not pay, even the small amount that plus costs, for this app.

Good but needs to be updated and improved
The app needs a dark mode. it needs access to quick text sizing in the menu bar. it needs icloud bookmarks to be combined instead of separate in iphone, ipad, and mac folders. overall navigation should be more intuitive. i could go on and on. it doesnt’ really seem like the developer cares much about the app, or isn’t trying at all. its unfortunate because this could easily be the best Wikipedia app available. frustrating.

Great app!
This app allows you to view more than 100 wikis which is great with you having the ability to add more wikis to the app! A suggestion for an update is the ability to view histories of pages.
Keeping Pace With O/S Updates
Apps need to keep up with advances and features available in new O/S releases. In this case, Dark Mode!
Almost perfect
This is the ideal Wikipedia experience for searching, browsing, and reading available on the App Store. I have used this app for several years and rely on it daily.
We’ve all read many Wikipedia webpages, where the page contains several words (that have links) that we are personally unfamiliar with. This results in opening of numerous tabs to read these definitions, going back-and-forth between tabs, often getting lost in chaotic tab overload. The app’s QUE feature is the solution to this problem. The app can keep track of your browsing history, only if enabled, which is very handy. All this personal data stays within the app for privacy concerns. Adjustable font and font size are ideal for a good reading experience.
The only feature I would suggest/request is a true dark mode or black theme. Currently the sidebar and the reading page are white/black or white/black. For visually impaired people like myself (low vision), this is difficult on the eyes, in my case unreadable. The only mode I can read is in a dark mode. All I see is a blank page when the background is white. I’m sure many other sighted people would enjoy a true dark mode also. Thanks for your consideration, and keep up the great work.

Arnaque
Cette appli n’est pas compatible avec Wikipedia en français. J’appelle ça du vol.
Seriously needs Dark Mode.
Smart invert doesn’t keep the side bar dark, so there’s no way to make the screen all dark for calm reading that I can find. It really needs dark mode. Otherwise, it’s not really worth leaving safari with its reader mode. Please add dark mode so my money will not have gone to waste!
Favorite client for Wikis BUT... give us a Dark Mode!
Wikipanion has been my favorite Wiki client since I first used it in my iPod Touch, many years ago. The features are great and has always offered a superior experience over other official and unofficial Wiki-browsing apps.
My only complaint is the absence of a Dark Mode. I really, really, really need it., thou I spent many years using the app without such mode, it is mid-2021 and many popular and not-so popular apps (including Wikipedia’s official app) now offer a Dark Mode, thus my eyes have developed an habit for it.
Highly recommended, the Plus version allows to keep track of your browsing and other nifty additional features.

Great app.
Great and useful app. Still wish for a dark mode though. The white background is too bright.
Latest update broke images
Please update the app. The last update broke images where they now display on the left-hand margins. Please fix as soon as possible.
