Customer Reviews
Simultaneously useful, educational and entertaining
I love this app because it is one of the only apps in the app store that is simultaneously educational, practical, AND humorous. And who knows, it might just save your life. The app contains a pre-loaded survival kit which provides emergency instructions for practical situations like CPR, first aid and also whimsical instructions on topics like escaping from handcuffs and surviving a bear attack. When online, the app provides full access to the entire range of wikiHow, which contains how-to instructions on any topic imaginable. This new version has better browsing for the survival kit than the old ones did. You should get this app and tell your family and friends to put it on their phones too, because you will never know when you will need it.
Great free app! Fun & Useful
I love the new version of the app! It's really fun to browse through the whole survival kit, but the categories will really help find an article when you need to. Plus, you still can access all of the other articles on wikiHow when you are online. If there's a better how-to app for the iPhone, I haven't found it (and it's probably not free). Get this app, you won't regret it!
Everyone should get this app.
Everyone should get this app because it contains an offline survival kit you may really need one day. Someone actually delivered a baby using wikiHow. Who knows what you will need this app for.
wikiHow consistenly produces the best how-to articles on the net. How fun to have their big how-to manual right in my pocket wherever I go! This app looks sleek and is easy to use. Overall this is a great app.
