my eyes!
hi, we love this app! but we can't use for long because no dark mode as yet *hint hint*
Third party wikis are broken
Home/random page actions either don't work or crash the app. This is the primary differentiating feature from the official Wikipedia app.
Extremely Biased. No longer trustworthy
Extremely slow. Cannot handle how to display charts at all. Constantly begging for money. Extremely biased. Use Grokipedia if you want more objectivity and facts.
My most used app
I’ve had an iPhone since they first came out and have had this app since the app store’s beginning. This will always be my most used app. It’s Wikipedia at your fingertips, always works, and does what it says it’s going to do.
Hasn’t aged well
I used to love this app but it hasn’t been supported in years and it’s much slower than just using the web version of wikipedia or other apps.
Sloooow
Extremely slow. Cannot handle how to display charts at all. Constantly begging for money.
Very simple very useful
I use it all the time, I find the user interface better than Wikipedia’s own
Really useful app
Perfect for looking up a person or any stats about them.
Needs iOS 18 support
It does its job. However, no dark mode and no support for iOS 18 dark icons means that this app has fallen behind and needs updating.
Plus de mise à jour
Appli pas mise à jour depuis 3 ans. Beaucoup d’articles s’affichent mal désormais. Dommage !
Wikipanion is way too far from Objective.
This app and Robert Chin are clouded by the main stream fake media slanting their narrative way too hard left. No objective data or information. I can’t trust it anymore.
Doesn’t include message texts when send links
I noticed when I send a link from the app to a text MMS or iMessage recipient(s) or group, the text I add as a caption or info does not show up. Only the link is sent and it looks random in my text feed.
Just a quirk I wish could be fixed.

Uninstall
No tabbed browsing. As useless as the Wikipedia app.
It’s over. Severe lag and issues.
For years I’ve used this. I mean, has it been a decade? Maybe! I know I’ve had this for ages. For so long it’s worked better than the actual wiki app when it was new, back when that app was literally a shortcut that would open Safari. Well I’m not sure what happened, but within the last few months it’s basically become nearly unusable. You type something in, it doesn’t register you’ve tapped the text box several times, then it will basically soft freeze for several moments while it decides it’s going to search what I’ve typed. Sometimes during that lag, it’ll show what I’ve searched and the related options but if you press the wrong thing, you’ve set yourself up for a fight. Cause now the app will lag to go backwards, get confused when you type the correct thing, lag some more. No idea what just happened but if a literal link to wiki isn’t working, I have no reason to continue on with it. Nowadays, the actual Wiki app works! It’s been working for years now. So I can leave this behind. But thanks for the memories and help through the years!!!

Great, but it really needs dark mode support
I’ve been using this app for well over 10 years. It’s nice but these days dann mode support is really missing. 5 stars otherwise!
App appears abandoned
This is the only app I’ve come across that lets you browse different wikis across the web from one app. The app hasn’t been updated in awhile, however, and there’s no syncing of data across devices, which you might expect. The iPhone version and iPad version are different apps, and you can’t upgrade the free versions to the pro versions in the app - you have to buy the pro ones separately. There’s little layout functionality or display options, so while these apps used to look great on older versions of iOS/iPadOS, they’re getting a little long in the tooth now.
Would love it if these apps got updates using current iOS/iPadOS technologies, such as widgets, better Shortcuts support, etc. Hopefully the developer decides to merge the four version of this app into one, and keep it updated in the future.

Cannot Add Wikis
I’m very disappointed by this app. I used this specifically for Wiktionary and I could not add any Wikis at all. I thought this was an issue with my phone so I tried it on my nephew’s phone and had the same issue. Then, I thought that purchasing the Wikipanion Plus app would fix this issue and I still could not add any Wikis. The only Wiki available was Wikipedia—which is fine but I use it primarily for Wiktionary. I uninstalled the app several times and reinstalled it and same issue. I contacted their online support team and never got an answer. I waited two weeks to get a response and no response till this day so I had no choice but to get refunded for Wikipanion Plus. I tried everything I could think of! If they fix this issue, I would reinstall it in a heartbeat but I don’t think that they offer support for it anymore which is a shame because it really is a great app! When it works.

Un souci sur l’ajout de Wikis…
Il n’est plus possible d’ajouter des wikis, que ce soit sur l’iPhone et l’iPad, c’est dommage car cette fonctionnalité était plutôt incroyable…
Can't add wikis
Adding wikis does not work. The wikis do not show up when I add them.
Missing dark mode
I’ve been using this app for years and it’s always been my go-to for Wikipedia. However, it’s strange that it still doesn’t have a dark mode setting.
