Wikipanion Reviews

Slow

Notsobrainy on

United Kingdom

As others have said, what was a fast app is now painfully slow. Search is fine but clicking a result just hangs the app for a good few seconds. Not good.

Used to be good but sadly has deteriorated

Asycnch on

Used to be a great app but has deteriorated badly. For some reason after the first time you click on a content link in an article it doesn’t work and it just keeps you at the top of the article. Thought this was a bug that would soon be fixed but it’s been like that fr a year or more.

Slow as....

This app used to be great. It's not worth downloading anymore. It's so slow, it's been slowed as an obvious tactic to get people to upgrade to the paid version. Shame.

Wiki can’t search?

realitydistortionfield on

United Kingdom

This was once a brilliant knowledge tool! I don’t get the slowness that others get in similar reviews! May be they don’t refresh the screen? But anyway.. there are times when I want to look for something, that there is no search box to type in your query? I check around to see where it’s gone, refresh the screen turn the Iphone on and off check the settings, but there still is no box to type in your search? Then I go to google and type the same word I want to look up, then It appears in the search under Wikipanion? Click on it and it’s good! Then I do another search in the wiki app again and the search query box appears.... hurray I can search again! When I leave the app and come back to it another time the “search query box,” is gone again! Ahhhh soooo frustrating! There’s no need to update its search lay out its. Ergonomically perfect You get the information you need in a simple format, updating it an complicate it further. Just sort out the main problem, the actual search query bug??????

Why have you switched the SLOW switch??

BettySwollocks on

United Kingdom

This app has by far been my most used app over the last few years. A few years ago I gave a 5 star review but today I have changed that to a 1 star review. Literally in the last month you have changed something in this app which makes it slow and not very responsive. Can you please flick the switch back to FAST?? I’m most certainly not going to pay £4.99 for the upgraded version!!

Getting tired

Peeky Chew on

United Kingdom

With no new features in years, it seems this app is simply on life-support at this time. Different themes, some kind of refresh to the user interface (which doesn’t seem to have been changed in the past 9 years), and taking advantage of the new features that each new iOS version has brought would be great. As of now, the app is slow, very outdated, and hasn’t made any significant gains in years.

Downhill :-(

Wimbers177 on

United Kingdom

Used to be a brilliant app but now made artificially slow and unresponsive, presumably in an attempt to get you to upgrade to the Plus version. Nope, ain’t gonna happen.

Used to be good but now very slow

Gramlock on

United Kingdom

Articles are taking a long time to load after you tap on a search result. Nothing to do with Internet speed.

Ok, but annoying.

donkeykong8 on

United Kingdom

This app will not remember what you were reading, even if you skip out and back. It's pointless unless you just read the entire article in one sitting. Crippled.

Superb!

Anothertryatnickname on

United Kingdom

Apart from doing what it's supposed to do and doing it well, it's better than any other Wikipedia app or browser because it plays the Ogg audio files Wikipedia uses and it's free! Themes? Appearance? Who cares! Well done dev!
