Pros and cons of WikiLinks app for iPhone and iPad

WikiLinks app good for

Hey, guys! I love the app, its incredible. Since I learnt how to use it properly its been one of my favourite! BUT after I installed the last update, I believe, its not working anymore! I open the app, it loads, start window appears and then it closes spontaneously. Please fix it! :( I can use it no longer.

Great App! Can you please add that you can change the amount of links that are displayed on the mind map of new articles?

Almost perfect... a Safari extension for adding Wikipedia entries from a Mac (via a sync solution) would be nice to have.

Just bought it and it works great so far. It also has the Split View feature (two apps side by side) which I didnt expect!

Is simple to use and helps you finding out more information in less time. Its a must-have for anyone who loves to read in a dynamic way.

Great app. New way to learn and discover with Wikipedia! It has themes, location based articles, offline storage, language support, cool mind-map style navigation, bookmarking, and more! The quick look-up feature where you tap and hold on a link is too cool! :)

Some bad moments

So many apps do the same thing only slightly different. This is a new way to love Wikipedia, truly addressing the ever increasing demand for visual information, and may actually help Wiki contributors to identify gaps or refine their related articles or references. Love it!

Just kidding, that was three words. This new iteration of WikiLinks rocks though, seriously!! ;)

I wanna read Wikipedia as highlighting my favorite texts. Plz think about adding it. I dont mind paying.

Bestest Wikipedia client but waiting for ios 9 feature for spotlight searching for articles in WikiLinks.

A very pleasant and easy way to explore Wikipedia articles - highly recommended!

This should be the main wikipedia app!! Ps: i think a sign in option with the wikipedia account should be added!
