Pros and cons of Tourist ~ The Wikivoyage App app for iPhone and iPad
Tourist ~ The Wikivoyage App app good for
Very good idea, Wikitravel content is nicely presented and available offline!
Very nice app. Saving wikis us super easy and they look great! The category button make it seem just like a travel guide.
I just wish there was a search function in each destinations wiki to search for something specific. Any maybe the ability to organize downloaded wikis in folders.
Almost perfect! Needs the ability to organize articles into folders.
Think it has a nice easy to use interface. Good to be able to view offline, just download all places I plan to visit prior to my travel, and no need to worry about roaming charges.
Only thing is cant create folders/subdirectories it seem, wish I can manage locations in a hierarchical way
Some bad moments
It is not possible to choose a language other than English at wikipedia.
Articles seem to download and text can be seen on the overview page, but as soon as tapping an article it only shows (null). Great idea though...
Updated to latest version and app now fails to start. Crashes immediately. Running iOS 6.1.3.
For 2.99, this app is a steal. The interface is the best, and it loads and saves articles for offline use quite quickly. A great app!
I have been a fan of wikitravel for years, and this app is a perfect wikitravel app for the iPhone!
But its pretty slow and clunky and crashes. It also saved an empty article that I could not delete. I had to erase the app and reinstall. Maybe Id let that slide for a free app, but not something I paid for.
