Fantastic! This is an exellent apt. It fits the screen perfectly and is easier to read than the desktop version on the iphone. You can enlarge the photos in an artical and I think it is worth every penny.

Fantastic! Simply a JOY to use! I used Comoki's awesome web app version for months before and after trying many of the Wiki-readers at the app store. Finally their much-anticipated (at least, by me) native iPhone app has launched, and I am not disappointed at all! Search no further, this is absolutely THE BEST mobile Wikipedia app, hands down. There is Comoki's app, and then there is the rest.
Additions I'd love to see:
+ Remember the last page I was viewing, and relaunch with that page, caches and ready-to-go.
Wish list:
+ Ability to sign on to Wikipedia with login info and edit a Wikipedia right from the iPhone. Not sure if Wikipedia makes these APIs available for developers or not.
Thanks for such an outstanding app! - iWiki review by Jeron Moore
Used it before I used this app months ago as a webapp and it's one of the most well thought-out incarnations of Wikipedia for a mobile platform. Why? It saves you time: Page layout, Relevant heading highlights and Proper text sizing. The $3 pays for itself in days. It's only Wikipedia but you won't be disappointed. - iWiki review by albowizard
Awesome! The perfect Wikipedia This is better than wikipedia on your safari browser! Now has a back button and horizonal view. A steal compared to some other iPhone apps. A MUST HAVE!!!! - iWiki review by Concerned 1
Don't believe the hype No way is this the best Wiki app around. First, there is no back button! That means that if you want to look at another subject within an article and then go back to the original article you were reading you either have to re-enter your search or go to your history and click on that. A back button is basic functionality. Second, there is no way to email an article to someone else. Once again, this should be basic functionality. I have no problem paying for apps, but there is no way that this should be a paid app, when it lacks so much compared to the other free Wiki apps in the store. The pages do format nicely, but page formatting is more then adequate on numerous other wiki apps.I am sorry that I purchased this one. - iWiki review by ljmjag
This is what I've been waiting for. I absolutely recommend this app above all of the other Wikipedia apps I've tried out. The UI makes so much more sense and is much friendlier than just resizing the page to fit in the iPhone screen. Plus, the added feature of history and bookmarks makes finding pages so much quicker. Five stars for sure. - iWiki review by P.Adams
The Best Wikipedia app for the iPhone! Great app! A few suggestions: Please include the ability to save images to the iPhone, secondly an option to email an article and/or picture, also to be able to view text in landscape view and finally instead of collapsible headers add a button on the bottom for the headers. - iWiki review by zigyzig
It might be a good app, but... I spent the last of my gift card on this app, thinking it would be the best. It's pretty good, but there's a little something that hurt me.
The description says it has the ability to save pages, which was the primary cause behind my purchase of this app. But once I opened a 'saved' page, I noticed that all of the pictures were missing. I felt really cheated at this point because I expected it to save the complete page (as described).
The problem is that a lot of wikipedia pages, especially those that offer mathematical information, contain equations and text in the form of images. If those images are missing, I can't really read the entire page.
I trusted this app to solve that problem. Unfortunately, it didn't.
However, this app isn't too bad for viewing information online. It just looks like Quickipedia, which is free, implements the same "drop-down" titles, and saves the text of the page.
In fact, it even features displaying a random page, nearby articles and the featured article.
And this is why I felt hurt and cheated -- I was already getting those features for free.
However, I respect Comoki, and I was an avid user of their web app.
Thus, I trust you to implement those features, especially saving images, at a bare minimum.
Thank you for your time. - iWiki review by //19
Perfect Wikipedia App! I can scarcely make it through a day without checking Wikipedia for some bit of information or another, so this app has truly become an invaluable resource for me. The interface is beautiful, the text size is adjustable, and I love the way each article is broken down into sections that expand instantly with a simple touch. This feature gives you the chance to find the right section quickly and easily without having to scroll forever. I also really like that you can view a full screen version of any photo with just a quick tap. Very nice application indeed! - iWiki review by Frampton
Nicely Done You can tell a lot of thoughtfullness went into this app. Works well. Worthy of Five Stars. - iWiki review by punkin puss and mushmouse
Far better than any other I have tried every single Wikipedia app in the app store but none can compare to this one. The way this app formats the articles really is spectacular, and the user interface is so simple and logical unlike any other app I have tried. I also really like the way I can browse through articles with back/forward buttons which remember the place I was reading in the article. This app is truly worth the price as it is far superior to any other apps available. If you love Wikipedia like I do, do not hesitate! - iWiki review by Bob Michael
Absolutely Fantastic! Totally 100% worth the money.. Thank you so much for creating this awesome app! - iWiki review by John Orfield
Love it! I absolutely love this app. It just works so perfectly and it's functionality is great. The formatting of articles really is far beyond anything else I have seen on the app store. Keep up the good work! - iWiki review by beetle56
Exceptional Formatting, Lacks Basic Navigation Features The formatting is exceptional, and views more like Wikipeida on Safari than any other iPhone Wiki app. And searching within an article is a breeze. However, it lacks basic features like previous page and next page. Instead, I found myself going back and forth between using the Search and History functions. These are simple and basic requirements. Landscape would also be nice. I hope the developers consider these basic upgrades in future releases. However, this app has the best formatting of all the Wiki apps and deserves at least three stars! Well done! For now, I guess I'll have to stick with Wikipanion for navigation basics and ease of use. - iWiki review by Rdr. Seraphim
