Customer Reviews
No expandable sections
Everything about this app is great- but the fact it doesn't offer expandable sections (like Wikipedia.com is set up) gets this app 1 star. Viewing a completely expanded page on an iPhone is unbelievably annoying and needs to be fixed ASAP.
Fix the crashing please
Latest update has caused major crashing problems especially when I try to open tables. Please fix then I'll give this app 5 stars.
Well...
This app used to be awesome, but the new update causes it to crash every time I try to open up a bookmark or use the Table of Contents. Please Fix!!
Update: I deleted the app and then reloaded it. Works great now!
