Wikibot -- A Wikipedia Articles Reader for iPhone and iPad now available
Any major differences from Articles app?
for me it's better than Articles in two features: First, you can browse articles about the same thing you are reading by tabbing "Categories"... Second, you can choose between night view to make negative view and sepia view...
Articles app's font is more clear to be honest... thanks Tibp
Any WikiPanion user out there who can contrast the two apps and make a recommendation?
Was looking for a good Wiki iPad app. This may be just the thing. Love the tabbed browsing and gallery mode. Very helpful. Thanks.
Nice, nice!
I have another tool for Mac which makes working with wikipedia easier: http://www.clicktoapp.com/
You can go directly from the article or text to wikipedia and read about the word you don't understand with only one click.
You will love it!
