Wiki² - Wikipedia Reader for iPad

The app seems to work OK. However, there is an annoying message each time I open it that tells me the app crashed. No matter which of the three choices it gives, it still appears upon opening.

I like the closed browser interface. It would be nice if you could save and print the articles.

Works just as intended. Very flush navigation and ease of access to previously viewed articles.

The main reason I got this application was because it seem to have a good index when I first got it. Now that they disables yesterday, I'm going to be looking for something somewhere else. Thanks, Scott Perry

Use this to research various items. Most items checked were very informative. Good way to find various answers to different subjects. Detail is good. Highly recommend

What I am *really* liking about Wiki Squared is the focus it gives me on Wikipedia. I have bookmarked the same sets of articles multiple times in multiple ways on my computer with the intention of using them as a reference. But Wikipedia is so vast, and the links take me far afield, and soon I'm lost with 30 tabs open, and I never really get to my research. Bookmarks are difficult and static. With Wiki Squared, I have an organized subset of Wikipedia on my iPad. The keywords allow me to group and access the pages easily. I especially like that the pages are automatically brought locally resident.<br/><br/>It all works seamlessly. Access Wikipedia like normal, and every page you access is brought local to the device. Keywords are a great way to organize them. As you view each article, you can easily assign any or all of your existing keywords or create new keywords as the need arises. As you choose a keyword from the list, it moves to the assigned stack and disappears from the potential stack. Very clear. Tap, tap, tap, and you are organized.<br/><br/>The article titles are shown in an index. One can view the index in alphabetical order or in chronological order. From the index one can use keywords to narrow and focus the search.<br/><br/>As one crawls through Wikipedia, and the articles are brought local, you can use the page forward and page back icons to quickly navigate through your pages. No more long line of open tabs. Since the articles are local, they are never lost and you can easily navigate to them again. Articles that are of fleeting or no interest can be easily pruned off the top of the chronological history. For me, the &quot;Keep track of where I go and save it all, and I'll clean it up later&quot; works better than &quot;Do I want to remember this article or not, and do I need to take an action before I lose it?&quot; The latter is how I've always had to use Wikipedia before Wiki Squared, and it always left me with a lost hopeless feeling as I wandered the vastness of Wikipedia. I have long lists of dusty bookmarks on my computer that I may or may not be interested in viewing again. With Wiki Squared, the articles that remain after I do a little pruning are the ones I value, and they are easy to organize, find and view.<br/><br/>The developer is active and responsive. I have had the opportunity to exchange emails with the developer, and I get the sense that this is a vibrant and growing application with a great future.<br/><br/>Wiki Squared has revolutionized the way I use Wikipedia, and I highly recommend it.<br/><br/>Randy

For this to be considered a valid, and useful app, the index really needs to be fixed.

This is a great app. Wonderful for reading when there is no internet available (airports, car trips, mass transit). Like everything else it is a work in progress. I would gladly pay significantly more than $0.99 for a little added functionality. It is also still a little buggy (crashed twice in about 1 hour of use).<br/> I would like to store pages in related groups. It would be really nice to store pages in folders much like the iOS Mail application allows you to move mail to folders (yes, I realize that this might require a companion application on an OS-10 machine to create the folders). It would be nice to have a button that would allow me to email to a friend and the email would go out when an internet connection was made. It would also be nice if touch gestures were supported (eg: resize text with a pinch).<br/> But overall, if you like Wikipedia you will love this app.
