Cannot read Burmese Font
Burmese font cannot read
U wrote so precious reference
But cannot read

Font size more readable than web
I love how I can make the font size larger, unlike on the web version which can be straining on the eyes after a while. Some suggestions: would it be possible to make the margins for full screen article view slightly narrower to make better use of the blank side bars?
2017-04-06
Very useful
The saved option is very useful for learning. If only highlighting in saved article is available.

App crash right after starting up
App crash immediately after opening.

Keeps crashing!!
Keeps crashing when i open the app. Love the app, pls fix this.
2016-04-15
Spectacular
This app is simply brilliant in every way.
If you click on a Wikipedia page on your browser it automatically takes you to the app. This is useful cause I often stumble upon Wikipedia pages while browsing on Safari.
I also like that you can save articles and they show a history of previous articles you've seen.
It's polished and loads amazingly fast.

Problem in app rating
Should be rated 12+
- Infrequent / Mild everything
for example the reporting username page, contains offensive content.
2015-05-25
Useful App
Good for learning purpose. Please add font size control.

Inability to update
The wiki app doesn't update itself with the latest updates or info on the app. I have to keep deleting and downloading the app to see the latest updates on information for wiki.
2014-10-09
Need an improvement
It would be great if you can use in search 2-3 languages ( not shifting them all time)
English- Russian-Turkish
2014-09-17
Good
Priceless knowledge frm this app
2014-09-10
Wow
Can't wait to use it!!! I think it'll be really cool if it could track the kind of pages you tend to visit (Chemistry related perhaps or something to do with History), and then download some related pages. In the event users want to access these pages but are offline, it'll be really cool if they could. Just a thought :)
2014-09-07
just a suggestion
hey you guys should add something different and new. maybe you guys should add in the possibilities to take a picture of that particular thing so we can know what it is. for example, with Wikipedia app, I'll be able to take a photo of a spider that I do not know the name of (which will be tough for me to find out what it really is) so with that photo, I'll be able to know what specific species of spider it is etc. as the Wikipedia app processes and finds out what it is resulting us to know what it is. I think that would really help us a lot as well! (:

2014-08-07
I always love Wikipedia
We should all thank Wikipedia for democratising knowledge and content. And this app is Wikipedia on steroids. I can move from one article to another extremely seamlessly. I wish there was an option to donate.

Bookmarked pages
With each update, the bookmarked pages (now referred to as 'saved pages' in the latest update) would be erased.
I suggest keeping the bookmarked pages safe with each update, or give users a warning to backup their bookmarked pages first before updating.
If it continues to erase bookmarks, this app will be deemed useless and I would much rather use Safari where I know bookmarks are safe & backed up.
2012-04-16
Give me back the old version
What a LOUSY update!! Slow like a snail,cant scroll up.
2012-04-11
Review of wikipedia app
Lousy update ! Prefer the old 1
2012-04-09
Previous version was better
Previous version scrolls faster, isnt blocked by buttons, and has a better search field (current one has text spill out of the search box)
2012-03-25
Improvements
You can add a search button for the article it would b much more useful
2011-10-16
Hope too see Wikipedia for iPad soon!
The mobile app is too small to be displayed on iPad.
2011-10-12
Not bad but...
App keeps crashing...
2011-09-20
Keeps crashing
And collapsed directory cannot be opened.
2011-08-16
Useful app, but...
The app is great and very useful. But somehow the history folder reloads itself after I clear it.
2011-06-26
Awesome app.
Awesome app but slow loading sometimes though.
2011-03-22

Good App !
Good app with fast search speed,for those who complain about app being slow why not make a complain to your local telco about the slow data network? That sounds more logical rather than blaming the app entirely !
2009-09-03
Needs lots of improvement
Tables get cut off if they are too long, no scrolling.
2009-08-31
Good but terribly slow
Slow
2009-08-19
Loads too slowly.
I compared searching with the mobile site on safari and with the application. The application takes a significantly longer time to load both search results and the page. Please improve on this.
