Best ever

30 years ago I spent $4000 on an encyclopedia. Kids today, amirite?

Great app, awful icon

Somebody obviously it a lot of thought into adapting this wiki reader--lovely intuitive interface, well chosen font, layout, etc. The best wiki reader available. But...the con change? Not good, guys. The old icon may not have shouted Wikipedia, but the new one is just clunky. Certainly not as elegant as the app itself us.

Nice, focused.

I like Articles a lot. Its strangely useful to have a specific app for Wikipedia! New version is great, I like the expanded search previews.

Great app, not so great icon.

I love this app, and Ive been using it for quite a while. Hands down the best Wikipedia app on the App Store. I do miss the old icon, however. I understand that the new one was made by The Iconfactory, but it doesnt fit at well as the old one did. I was going to request that you perhaps replace the icon with the old one, because it looks just fine on iOS 7, however as Im typing this I just discovered that youve accepted a position at Apple and you wont be updating this app or any others. That makes me incredibly sad. Well then, this isnt what I excepted to get out of writing this review. Darn it. Well, good luck at Apple, Sophia!

Great wiki reader but TERRIBLE icon

Love this wiki reader, but seriously, I literally use this app way less because the icon turns me off. Change it please

Bring Back Signature Icon

This is a great app and I like using it but wont do the update because I would lose the apps signature icon. The new icon is right in line with the new dumbed down, flat, and totally uninspired look of iOS7, which reminds me of washed out anime for toddlers. Please bring back your elegant and artistic icon. Yes, it matters. The look and feel of the old iOS6 was one reason why I forked out the money for an iPad in the first place.

New Icon is horrible !!

Please, please bring back the old icon and stand out in a world of flat! Or at least a flat file cabinet? Id rate 5 stars but I find the new icon non-intuitive... after that Articles is the best Wikipedia reader / tool out there.

Bring back the old app icon!!!

Dont fix what aint broke. I actually loved the old app icon. The new one is so bad that I actually hid the app in a folder so I no longer had to look at it on my home screen. Other than that, the app contains great design and is easy to use. I have no complaints other than the new app icon. Please bring the old icon app. Highly recommend it!

Update the icon and only the icon?

Seriously? You expended an entire update just to update an icon? It doesnt even use the new keyboard. Are you serious?

No further development.

The developer really should remove her apps from sale if they arent going to be updated for iOS7.

The best wiki app

Ive been using Articles for years. It saves you the time to navigate on Safari and the interface looks great. Far more enjoyable than a browser. However, this app needs a new iOS 7 interface to be perfect. Come on guys, you are this close to make a flawless app.

Very good

I like the new icon. This is a very good Wikipedia app.

better than wikibot

Best till now.

Eh...

I enjoy the UI but the absence of options to skip to various sections is maddening. Makes this app useless. Update with a button which prompts different chapters and then were going places.

Used to be 5 stars app..

After Apples honorable mentions & awards, you STOPPED creativity.. No major updates.. No new look.. the Wikipedia expercies is terrible on this app.. Above all, CHANGE THE HIDEOUS ICON

Whatever people

The icon looks great. My two requests: 1. Update for iOS 7/Xcode 5 2. Give us a nighttime mode (gray text on black background) Thanks!

Best hands down

This is the best Wikipedia viewer for the Ipad - hands down. Contrary to what others have said, you CAN jump to different sections of the page - click the icon in upper right.
