Wiki app. does provide more tools to view download articles , post , and some are more elaborated. It does need some improvements .Some articles through the app. dosen't always seem to have the same information format , and may be missing current info .It needs to have the option on the prompt to either open the articles online directly or to use the app. It only asks on the popup when searching articles in the browser , under wiki ( cancel or open with wiki app. )
I have had some minor issues with this app, but by far, the most disruptive takes place while editing articles. As I edit, the page enlarges the font size at random. The built-in font size function is unaffected, making it effectively impossible to make large edits, as after a short time, I can't even make out sentences due to the extreme zoom. I will gladly provide screenshots and device information. I really, really want to give this a higher rating, so please fix this. ~~~~ :]
Offline usage, SD storage and great interface. But does have one very annoying flaw, which is how incredibly easy it is to accidentally delete offline pages. There have been several occasions where I attempted to tap on an article, but ever so slightly, swiped a little to the side at the same time, which deletes the page. It dosen't ask for confirmation, but rather just removes the page in a blink of an eye. Although it does allow you to undo this, the page will have to be downloaded again.
