Latest reviews of Wikifu - Wikipedia Reader app for iPhone and iPad
Please note this is a copy of a prerelease version of Wikipedias new app, with ads added. Consider waiting for the real thing to be released July 31.
This person simply added pop up ads to the official Wikipedia app. Do not download this!
This is the only Wikipedia reader that works on iOS6, so I downloaded it (my 3gs only goes up to 6). It worked once, then crashed every time I tried it. So I deleted and re-downloadwd it and it has worked every time since, no problems. However, I originally downloaded it hoping it would play Wikipedias sound clips (as the newer apps do), but it doesnt. Thats a minus. The ads are minimal, Ive only seen one in the short time I have been using it.
