Tuller med søk via Google

annonym 406 on

Norway

Når jeg søker opp ting på Google å trykker på Wikipedias link kommer det forrige jeg søkte opp på wikipedia istedenfor det jeg linket meg til ifra Google!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

horrible code reviews

Jnw64 on

Norway

with every update, they seem to introduce a new problem. the most recent one is infuriating, cause in order to open an article via links; i have to exit out of every article, and close the app. my regret of having donated to wikipedia grows with every bug this app introduces.

Annoying layout

Norway

I don't know why, but the layout is very different than the one you get in all browsers (both mobile and computer). It would be better if there was an option to have the normal layout instead of this new one.

Search bar is gone.

For good and reliable information in many languages!

Brukervennlig og tilgjengelig

Jokkers on

Norway

Bruker bare Wikipedia i appene på iOS. Alltid tilgjengelig og brukervennlig. Savner et par ting: Å kunne bla fremover. Nå kan jeg swipe meg tilbake men ikke frem igjen. Historie/logg. Husk å donere noen kroner om du har mulighet og føler det er riktig. Dette er noe av det viktigste og minst egoistiske på nett i dag!
