## What is Wikipanion Plus?

The best gets even better! Enhance Wikipedia with queue mode, designed for keeping track of entries you want to read in the future. Add entries to the queue easily while browsing, and optionally save them for faster visiting or offline browsing. Downloading entries for offline or accelerated reading happens in the background while you browse and read other pages, so you don't have to stop and wait for pages to be saved.

See the Wikipanion web site for more details about Plus features. Want to see why Wikipanion is the best? Download the free Wikipanion.

### 4/5 — Great but

*2026-04-22, version 1.9.29*

Has not been updated and now the wiki articles are all formatted wrong. Hope this gets fixed. It’s been 2 years.

### 1/5 — Slow loading

*2026-01-28, version 1.9.29*

I would give this app 5 stars for its content, but  it is now very slow to load. I don’t know if this problem coincided with the most recent IOS upgrade, but it is persistent. It is not a problem with my internet connection. It is a problem with the app. It is now very slow and cumbersome.

### 5/5 — Excelent!

*2026-01-24, version 1.9.29*

Add dark mode, pls!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2024-09-27, version 1.9.29*

Great app. The only thing lacking is dark mode.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert nur sporadisch

*2024-05-05, version 1.9.29*

Dieses ehemals fabelhafte Tool funktioniert zur Zeit nur noch sporadisch - eigentlich nur nach einem Reboot des Telefons (iPhone 15 Pro). Warum erschließt sich mir nicht. Einmal geschlossen ist die Suche nicht zu starten und stürzt ab.
Update: Funzt wieder wie gewollt und gewohnt - woran es lag/liegt erschließt sich mir nicht. Habe iCloud-Drive-Sync ab- und wieder angemeldet. Seitdem alles gut.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-09-22, version 1.9.29*

I have been using this app for like a decade. It’s great. 

To the developer: we’re begging; Please, please, please release an update with dark mode though it’s all we could possibly ask for!

### 1/5 — Alternate Wikis Won’t Add

*2023-09-05, version 1.9.29*

I had the original version since launch and was originally able to add other wikis to it. That was removed to make it a plus only feature. I bought plus recently and it doesn’t work either. I go to add one and it just never works. Tried with both wifi & data, deleted and reinstalled. Nothing.

### 5/5 — Leider fehlt ein Dark Mode

*2023-08-31, version 1.9.29*

Wann kommt dieser endlich?!?

### 1/5 — Can’t Add Wikis

*2023-08-15, version 1.9.29*

WARNING: I just bought the app, and I can’t add any wikis to it. The interface seems broken. I’ve reached out to the developer over email. Since this is the main purpose of the app, hopefully they fix it.

### 4/5 — Wikipanion Plus

*2023-02-03, version 1.9.29*

Over all excellent. only issue is that I cannot add a site that uses a self-signed certificate. throws me into endless loop when I tap "trust".
