Applause

Have been using this app for a short amount of time and have realised this will be pivotal in my future education. Can’t wait to start writing independent papers on my viewpoints and ideas with the help of this service. Absolutely stunning, bringing information for all to see.

Swap accounts

4 stars are fare enough at the moment, the app deserves 5 when they do something about the ability to swap between your accounts, every app is did it long time ago

Take with a huge grain of salt.

Very often editors have no idea what they are talking about or spread misinformation for who knows what reasons they may have. I was using and supporting Wiki for years believing in its mission, until I started finding loads of unverified, made up, or corrupted informations from my own field of study, correcting which is impossible as any edit made was always promptly reversed. If looking for important information, I highly advise other professional sources. Acceptable only if treated as entertainment.

Perfect app for the best site on the internet

Works very well, much better display than the mobile browser version. One thing I’d like is Today’s Featured Article iOS widget.

Glacially slow

This app seems to take longer to open every week. It used to be enjoyable; now it’s just frustrating

App rarely works. Keeps showing a message stating it’s not working. I’ve actually deleted it from my phone and from time to time use the web page to see if I can get any information from it.

Server not found

Most times I try to search it tells me there’s not server found and I can’t get any results

Ok, but...

Nice layout, that's the only Good thing I have to say about this app. Runs really jittery on my iPad 4 and keeps crashing when offline so I can't read my saved pages. Only recommended if you have a realllllly new iPad, iPhone or iPod which is always connected to wifi, would prefer the web browser version (I hate to admit)!

Superb
