Articles App Reviews

Then 5 stars

The app is great, but I need to be able to adjust the font size, its too small.

Bring back the old icon. And DO NOT change the interface to bring us the impracticality, mediocrity, and hideousness of iOS 7. As is, this app is flawless (though its missing a night reading mode). Thank you.

This is a nice app, but it could use a Dark/Night theme and a choice of fonts.

The absolute best, I use it every day.

This is the best Wikipedia app on the App Store. I have used this app for I guess years now. Im disappointed in the new Version. The new icon is a big step backwards from the old one, and the interface didnt change at all for iOS 7. :( This is still a must have app. I hope they talent to the next level soon. :)

This app is the best wiki reader out there. Formats beautifully and stands above the rest, even those that were developed more recently.

Beautiful, elegant interface. No wasted space. And local interface, will make this a favorite travel program. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I’ve tried a few and I like this the best. However, Developer please update to iPhone 6 and add iCloud syncing between devices (iPad Air and iPhone 6). If you charge for it and the price isn’t too high, I will purchase it straight away! (I tried Wikipanion+ and it was nightmarish to use—difficult, confusing, and not as flexible as Articles!) Like the fact that I can create folders and place articles in the folders. Did not like the fact that I lost all my bookmarks/folders when I upgraded to the iPhone 6.

I use it all the time. Attractive layout, multiple windows, bookmarks and a read later list that shows you the context of the page from which you saved the link. Separate contents, image and table pop-over windows. Works well in horizontal or vertical mode on iPad. A well-thought-out, polished app. The only imperfection Ive found is that new page loads sometime hang after a long session of following links. You cant download articles for offline reading. I use Wikipanion+ for that. Overall, though, Articles is my favorite way to browse the mighty Wikipedia.

No access to Notes or Categories. No editing ability.

I hope the developer doesnt completely stop updating this, as it is gorgeous, fast, and easy to use. One of my most-used apps of all time.

Ive tried the rest. This is the best, but interface motifs are a bit outdated. Needs iOS 8.0 aesthetics.

Its been 2 years.

Frustrated by stubborn developers and ability to integrate with Pocket. Also, as many others have pointed out, the new icon is "BUFUGLY". Look it up. In fact the interface is pretty old-school. The design is circa 2010 or so. App is otherwise excellent, but design is such an integral element that Im giving only two stars. Will change review if developers ever get it together.

Nice interface, it’s missing features I’d expect in an app like this. The Dev hasn’t updated ANY of her apps in over 18 months - it’s time to write her off as a major flake.

Works. Does not crash. Ever. Used on iPhone 5 and 5S. iPad 2 and current iPad mini. Open app. Paste or type in search field. Select topic / article. Pinch / zoom gestures adjusts the text size. Touching an inline pic displays it in a separate window. In that window, you can zoom as necessary. Can open multiple pages plus select "open in new page" Lots of options for bookmarking and folder creation. as of iOS 8.3, stopped opening. Sigh Would like to see a sane method to sync HX and bookmarks via icloud. Owned another app that worked on iOS and OS X but it crashed. And had problems with display / margins. All pics and graphs were displayed in one window. Ewww. Five stars for sync. Otherwise, I have no complaints about the look of the app OR the stinkn icon.

This is still the very best iPhone app for Wikipedia, but it really could use an update for the iPhone 6 and 6+. Its biggest benefit it doing multiple tabs. The other WP readers, even when they have other cool features, lack this. I sure miss the old icon, though.

Saving pages like browser tabs. Attractive layout. Really nice. (Small issue with drop down search results box blocking the Search entry field. Strange because it looks okay in the App Store app description.).

Already time for to say this is greater than I thought so, I being using it for a while. A phenomenal source of learning.
