Customer Reviews
Nearly perfect
This is a great application for reading Wikipedia articles. It's faster than loading the entire webpage and it formats the content for your iPhone/iPod Touch screen (no need to zoom/pinch the screen or anything like that). It's got pretty much all the features that other wikipedia apps have and some more. You can search within the app, move back and forward, quickly navigate categories, bookmark articles, etc. The killer feature is that it caches all of the pages you visit so that you can view them even while offline.
Two features I'd like to see (and the reason I gave it four stars instead of five) is the ability to change text size and send articles to a friend.
Better than paid versions
This app is simple, straightforward, and free. The only feature missing is the ability to resize the text. Hopefully it will be part of a future release. Excellent work.
Competition!
Wiki-war! Wikipanion, Wikiama, Quickipedia...
Largest benefit of Wikiamo? More viewing area, the search box is it's own screen.
Largest drawback? Font size and other customizing must be set through Settings, can't do it within the app yet.
