About

Wikipanion is an alternative may to browse Wikis, that could be the main Wikipedia or Wikis for games. With a layout that is much easier than the Safari interface.

Positives

The app is well designed, simple to use and adds functions such as Read Later and post to Twitter, it is leaps and bounds ahead of Safari and the official Wikipedia app. You have the ability to add more Wikis to the app and this is very useful if you find yourself needing this.

Negatives

Wikipanion has some major formatting problems with most tables displaying incorrectly and their text being placed incorrectly. It may also be preferable if the app was universal which considering the simplicity of the app I expected.

Final Verdict

Wikipanion outclasses Safari and the official Wikipedia app, however if you only need it for just Wikipedia and not any other Wikis then I’d personally stick to the official app because of the formatting errors.
