Better than the others
This is a good attempt at a third party client for Wikipedia with a good user experience (UX). Some small features like saving articles are missing, but this is made up with previewing linked articles and a map of articles near you.
There is room for improvement but this is the best as of January 2017
Great promise, but missing features let it down
Gorgeous looking app. The UI is colourful and easy to read, and that's a huge draw. Works smoothly and I've had no freezing. Desperately needs some kind of ability to see search history and to save articles for later though. Widget support would be nice too. I find myself using the official app to get access to those features.
Best iPhone OS interface for wikipedia
Have used many wikipedia apps and this is the best. Reasons: great interface, easy readability, usability and quick search.
No freezing or issues on my iPhone 6s Plus.
A Five star app.
