Great app, but needs some improvement

Skiv83 on

Belarus

The app is great, use it every day. My only concern, is the way articles are formatted on big iPad screens. Could you please add at least as an option ability to use full screen width? Right now I see more text when I open ToC on the left, which, ironically, allows for more article area on the right, since, as I understand, text is allowed to occupy 100% of area width. Best option — make margins customizable!

Класс!

Приложение вполне устраивает, однако ОЧЕНЬ хотелось бы, чтобы присутствовал алфавитный поиск сохранённых страниц оффлайн, как в Android-версии.

Мерзость

Ребёнок при запросе "однокоренные слова топ/хлоп" получил результат - на слово х.. Это нормально?! Мерзота, а не энциклопедия. Желаю тех же информационных открытий и вашим детям.

So perfect!

It’s very interesting about it everything. Terrific app program. Meteorologist Mark Schulz

An app that gives you all the information for everything.

The Wikipedia app gives you access to all the information for free. The app has some really nice settings. E.G. Choosing the font, size, and color of text. Choosing which information that appears on the home page. Plus so much more that I’m not thinking of atm. Wikipedia asks once a year for a donation of $2.75. If you, like myself, have found Wikipedia an invaluable resource then please give whatever size donation even if it’s just $1 or less. Everything helps keep this wonderful site and app from ever having ads or other unwelcome annoyances.

Used to be great, now it's not.

This app crashes on iOS 18 hardware. Just stick to the website version. This app has become superfluous for iOS 18 users.
