Kundenrezensionen
Super hilfreich für einen schnellen Überblick
Ich benutze Qwiki schon seit einer frühen Alpha-Phase und war von der Idee schon immer begeistert! Die neuen Features, die nach und nach dazugekommen sind, machen die "information experience" gerade auf dem iPad wirklich besonders. Um mal eben über einen Urlaubsort, ein Thema aus den Nachrichten, eine geschichtliche Persönlichkeit oder ein Naturphänomen etwas zu erfahren ist es wirklich praktisch es in Qwiki nachzuschlagen.
Natürlich ist nicht jeder Artikel perfekt, manchmal sind Bilder falsch und einige Themen sind (obwohl sie in der Wikipedia Artikel haben) nicht vollständig oder fehlen komplett. Trotzdem, für komprimierte Infos perfekt und deshalb fünf Sterne! :)
