Why on iPhone on pages has big blank?
Pages Shaking left and right while reading,For what?
Excellent app
Very useful app. So much information. Beyond belief.
Became completely unusable
Crashing and getting stuck all the time, requires constant restarts to load a page. Became vey unstable and unusable
Great when it works!
Not loading at all at the moment on mobile app or desktop, please take a look at it. Not sure if I’m asking in the right place but I’ve tried troubleshooting on my desktop which hasn’t worked so thought I’d try bringing it up in a review. In general I’m very happy with the site and use it most days for general reference, but lately it’s been driving me nuts to the point I deleted the app from my phone. Please if this can just be fixed that would be fantastic and would turn a 4 star review into a 5. Thank you and Happy Christmas!
Great to see it improving
Although this app is still incomplete in my opinion as it doesn't offer feature parity with the web version of Wikipedia, I'm still giving it 5 stars as it's a joy to use, and because development is clearly ongoing. I appreciate the effort from the nonprofit wiki foundation to creating an easy to use mobile app. My personal requests for improvements would be: - Native wiktionary support. - Native meta ("Wikipedia:" pages) support. - Have template/tags be visible where they should be, e.g. banners at the top of an article, like for dispute templates in the web version.
Horrible
I got banned for no reason. I would rate this 0 but that’s not possible so I’ll be generous and give 1 star
Only 1 annoyance
Generally great app. When searching there is a helpful list of matching articles. Less helpful is that if you select one after typing only a few characters, the search history then records only those characters. These mean little if you return later. It would surely be better if the search history retained the title of the selected article.
It’s Wikipedia
Nothing to complain, vast info 10/10
One star
You won’t get a penny in donation from me until you change the lies on Elon Musk’s entry “... As CEO of Twitter, Musk emerged as a source of misinformation and right-wing conspiracy theories..”
