Ever found yourself searching something on wikipedia on your iPhone? If so, then you already know how much of a pain it is to read the tiny words without having to ‘pinch’ to scale up the words.
Comoki Software has come to the rescue with Wikipedia Mobile — A native Wikipedia application for iPhone (and iPod Touch). Wikipedia Mobile formats everything nicely for the screen of your iPhone unlike the wikipedia web app where everything is cluttered and tiny.
Features include:
- Wikipedia in 28 languages and 15 languages localizations
- Outstanding article formatting including collapsible headers and expandable tables in-line with text
- Saving of articles for offline viewing
- Quick search and full-text searching
- Built-in image viewer with captions
- Finding of text with an article
- History viewer
- Font size preference in Settings applications
All those features come with the Wikipedia Mobile app at a pretty hefty price, $2.99USD
Buy Wikipedia Mobile in the Appstore – Here
what would be interesting would be comparison with the existing Wikipanion and Qwikipedia
I actually prefer the first one lol. Spending 3 dollars on that? Let’s be fair.. It’s a good application, but, I’m not wanting to spend money on information from Wikipedia lol
I use Wikiamo, it’s better than Wikipanion and it’s free.
