Wikipanion is way too far from Objective.

This app and Robert Chin are clouded by the main stream fake media slanting their narrative way too hard left. No objective data or information. I can’t trust it anymore.

Doesn’t include message texts when send links

I noticed when I send a link from the app to a text MMS or iMessage recipient(s) or group, the text I add as a caption or info does not show up. Only the link is sent and it looks random in my text feed. Just a quirk I wish could be fixed.

Uninstall

No tabbed browsing. As useless as the Wikipedia app.

It’s over. Severe lag and issues.

For years I’ve used this. I mean, has it been a decade? Maybe! I know I’ve had this for ages. For so long it’s worked better than the actual wiki app when it was new, back when that app was literally a shortcut that would open Safari. Well I’m not sure what happened, but within the last few months it’s basically become nearly unusable. You type something in, it doesn’t register you’ve tapped the text box several times, then it will basically soft freeze for several moments while it decides it’s going to search what I’ve typed. Sometimes during that lag, it’ll show what I’ve searched and the related options but if you press the wrong thing, you’ve set yourself up for a fight. Cause now the app will lag to go backwards, get confused when you type the correct thing, lag some more. No idea what just happened but if a literal link to wiki isn’t working, I have no reason to continue on with it. Nowadays, the actual Wiki app works! It’s been working for years now. So I can leave this behind. But thanks for the memories and help through the years!!!

Great, but it really needs dark mode support

I’ve been using this app for well over 10 years. It’s nice but these days dann mode support is really missing. 5 stars otherwise!

App appears abandoned

This is the only app I’ve come across that lets you browse different wikis across the web from one app. The app hasn’t been updated in awhile, however, and there’s no syncing of data across devices, which you might expect. The iPhone version and iPad version are different apps, and you can’t upgrade the free versions to the pro versions in the app - you have to buy the pro ones separately. There’s little layout functionality or display options, so while these apps used to look great on older versions of iOS/iPadOS, they’re getting a little long in the tooth now. Would love it if these apps got updates using current iOS/iPadOS technologies, such as widgets, better Shortcuts support, etc. Hopefully the developer decides to merge the four version of this app into one, and keep it updated in the future.

Cannot Add Wikis

I’m very disappointed by this app. I used this specifically for Wiktionary and I could not add any Wikis at all. I thought this was an issue with my phone so I tried it on my nephew’s phone and had the same issue. Then, I thought that purchasing the Wikipanion Plus app would fix this issue and I still could not add any Wikis. The only Wiki available was Wikipedia—which is fine but I use it primarily for Wiktionary. I uninstalled the app several times and reinstalled it and same issue. I contacted their online support team and never got an answer. I waited two weeks to get a response and no response till this day so I had no choice but to get refunded for Wikipanion Plus. I tried everything I could think of! If they fix this issue, I would reinstall it in a heartbeat but I don’t think that they offer support for it anymore which is a shame because it really is a great app! When it works.
