Wikiwand: Faster Wikipedia Reader for Quick Lookup and Research

1St let me say upfront Im no shill for this or ANY of the few apps which I throw my 2 cents in I only comment if its terrific promising or a terrible ripoff Im happy 2 say Wikiwand is the 1st type terrific I first came acquainted w Wikiwand on my laptop when I got this extension for one of my browsers Iridium a Chrome fork I really liked how it presented the material in a simple yet elegant way ease of readability was toonotch as were the short little quickbits ie facts etc at a glance I was very pleased to find Wikiwand here in the Apple Store I think the things I found so great bout Wikiwand on a big 15 screen are actually BETTER on my 6s phone screen ease of use quick infobits ataglance a theyre all here and help make readingusing Wikiwand that much better in such better in a small phonesized screen Im a Wikipediaholic I love reading I love reading encyclopediatype information reference books so having Wikipedia having it w such easeofuse and looking btootifull on my phone makes it a terrific resource                 A Triffic Wikipedia app seriously

I like the interface and all the supplementary links and info However why is there no pinch to zoom on photos It seems a rather elementary feature to not incorporate into the app Please update with zoom feature on photos Thanks              Nice interface but no zoom on photos

This is a fantastic app Extremely functional and well designed Best Wikipedia app hands down                 Brilliant

This app is a huge improvement over the default Wikipedia app It makes finding and navigating Wikipedia articles simple and easy                 Great App

This Wikipedia app performs very well with my slow data plan However it could benefit from better text vs background contrast I find it difficult to see most of the controls easily              Fast

The app works perfectly and does exactly what it says The only thing they could possibly do to make it better would be to open straight from safari                 Review title

Makes Wikipedia more fun                 Cest parfait

This is an excellent app Very well designed Great typography and responsiveness                 Super duper

Really great app                 Great app

Great app                 Best Wikipedia app ever made

I use this all the time in the hospital to look up info My only suggestion would be to have a better algorithm to find an article of something that I dont know exactly how to spell otherwise it is great                 Nearly perfect

Best Wikipedia app ever                 Amazing

I had been wishing that the original Wikipedia had a usage like this app has Totally amazing app                 Wish I had known sooner

Does not display the live version of the page So you may not see recent edits Also it does not show footnotes at all     Pretty useless

Lightening quick searches Great UI Love it                 Love it

Excellent app provides incredibly a great interface of different articles                 Amazing apps

This is what Wiki needed The search for stories near you feature is brilliant                 Well designed fountain of information

Ever since I found out about Wikiwand Ive wanted it on my phone It looks and works great and is the best way to view Wikipedia in my opinion                 Been waiting for this

The best Wikipedia app Keep up the good work                 Awesome design

Found this today when I was about to redownload the regular Wikipedia app It had a slightly better star rating so I thought Id try it Im glad I did A few things that stood out It puts important information right at the top For example Ive always found it a bit of a pain to find specific things in the regular app A persons current age is an example I normally have to do an extra tap or scroll to see it This one has colored boxes with important information One thing I really like is that if theres a link in the article I can click it and have a little box open telling me some basic information I dont have to follow it unless I want to Little things like that show that thought was put into this design                 Seriously well designed

Great app but I wish I could save the articles Thanks to the developers                 Amazing

This is a great app My only complaint is that I just discovered the random article feature and now I wont have any free time                 Perfect

Theres really no need to state it any other way this app is absolute perfection of the wikipedia experience                 Perfection

This app is stunning However in many ways it still lacks polish The search interface still needs to be refined to accommodate both search functionality as well as scrolled to the top functionality Additionally this app needs to support swipe back functionality to return to the previous page iPad support is also a must           Wikiwand gets it

Developers should improve search results before releasing the app     Bad searching experience

Just try it You wont regret it                 Absolutely fantastic

This is by far the best App on the AppStore The UI and everything about it is great One request though Please please please release a version for the iPad as well                 Please bring this app to iPad

Enjoy the ease and functionality of this application Very easy to follow and adaptable                 Love the FLUIDITY of the app

Good app but no way to increase font size or to make them bolder This is quite annoying to those of us whose eyesight is less than 2020 Otherwise Id give it five stars           LACKING

Excellent Wikipedia makeover Im surprised this isnt a standard for all things Wiki Similarly simple fast and elegant just like the Chrome Extension                 WikiWow

Most beautiful interface and great functionality Im pretty much in love with this app also using the interface on my Mac                 Epic

I was very glad to hear that an iOS app was released Good job                 Great app

Amazing reading and I love it                 Great app

Ive been looking for a good Wikipedia reader for quite a while Ive used the Wikiwand browser extension for a few months and was very excited when I saw there was a iOS app Its sleek its smooth and its functional The devs listen and respond to feedback Highly recommended                 Absolutely Amazing

Awesome app works like fairy tales and comics Many more                 Wiki wand

Retired Silicon Valley exec likes simple tools that work This one works as claimed                 Very Nice

What a pleasure to use                 Wow

I have tried maybe a dozen of similar apps but this one is among the best                 One of THE best wikipedia apps

Good App                

Ive been using Wikiwand from long time in my computer and was waiting anxiously for mobile app and here it is Beautiful app and Im simply in love with it                 Superb Wikipedia App

This app is amazing                 Amazing readability and UI

One of the best apps Ive used Fast and fluid Gets right to the point without any wasteful UI elements or text Makes it easy to get info Faster than Google or the Wikipedia app                 Magical

as encyclopedias go Everything works and like the small size altho I do hope they update with more info as it goes along                 Not too shaby

This is the best Wiki app ever                 Wandiful

This app cant get any better                 Amazing

Love the interface Clicking links gives you basic added info you can use Its easy to go back to what youre reading or go further down the rabbit hole                 Addictive

A genuinely good wikipedia app is hard to come by and if you find a good one theres no guarantee it will still be good a year late Articles was great years ago but is apparently not being supported anymore Wikipanion did the job for a while but has always been lacking features I was using Wikilinks but could never really get over the poor design of the interface Wikiwand has a dumb name but so far Im really enjoying it It has a fun and colorful interface in a crowd of fairly dull utilitarian apps And its got the features I like Will I still be using it a year from now That depends on if these guys are going to keep up the development on it but I have high hopes this will be the goto wikipedia app for a good while                 Now this is a good one

Very beautiful app I love how data is organized in a tab and picturelike way What it needs swipe back to previous article saving article for offline use fonts and size landscape mode top of screen tap But its still worthy of 55 Oh and maybe a nice bonus would be tabs                 Innovative best there is but needs some improvement

Finally a worthy app that kicks my 4year old app out to pasture Thank you CreativeInnovativeColorful People Thank you                 Brilliant Just brilliant

Easy to read well organized and very colorful The best Wikipedia app so far                 Excellent
