Customer Reviews
Much better than the "official"
As a daily Wikipedia reader, this had been my go-to wiki app for years now.
I didn't like the official wiki app when I first tried it way back when so I got rid of it. Instead I found this, which is much better presented and easy to navigate. And judging by recent reviews of the other apps or compared to the experience of browsing the wiki mobile site on the web, this app is still the way to go.
Coolness
