good, but more effort is required

This app is a very good browser for the mobile version of Wikipedia. The option" stay on top" is a wonder. Despite this, I think the app needs more developing of necessary functions, and this is why I only give 4 stars. The very first thing the author should do is to add the possibility to choose the language in which Wikipedia is displayed by default. Than some integration with the OS: if the app is open and I close the window (i.e. I press cmd+W), I cannot get another window by clicking the Icon on the Dock. I have to close the app (i.e. I have to press cmd+Q) and than re-open it to get a new window. I dont’t know wether this behaviour is a bug or it is a choice of the author, but I can swear it is annoying.

Okay for what it is, but could use more features and fixes

Works as described with a few annoying quirks, but I’d love to see a couple of more features: 1) Built in history function. The "open recent” menu option doesn’t work and this is a key feature 2) Tabs to open multiple pages at once 3) Ability to change font size (zoom in and out) 4) Built in favorites function. Wikipedia has a “watch” function, but a native favorites function could be more robust and feature-rich Annoying quirks: 1) The search function is reasonably fast if you hit “enter” immediately, but it takes a very long time for the real-time search suggestions to appear 2) For those search suggestions, you can’t scroll using the arrow keys, you have to use your mouse (why!?) 3) No in-page search function! You can search every article for keywords in the general search bar, but you can’t search a specific article you have open

Does what it says...

…and it’s a great price. I would like to see an icon in my menu bar, and the 1-star whiner with the numbered list of complaints/suggestions that if fixed/added would make the app more expensive nonethelss has some valid points desite the fact that they are a baby and this is NOT a 1-star app.
