Basically a Browser Bookmark I don't see whatever the pay version of this app gives you that the free one doesn't. There are no ads in the pay version, but since almost every search I run launches my browser, ads in the app aren't really relevant. I would very much prefer the app to display articles rather than the browser. As it is now, its effectively a bookmark in my browser.

One undesirable feature The only thing I don't like about this Wikidroid app is that it uses the web browser to display what I search for instead of its own client. I want to view web pages in landscape only, but, Wiki in portrait only. Because this app uses the browser it prevents me from having this control. If they changed this then I would give it 5 stars instead of one. It's that important to me.

Not so good Wasted time buying thus app. I constantly get the large W icon when I search for anything so can't see any information. Pretty useless app.

Horrible app! Not worth the money! Just a crap app. Too many bugs, won't open half the time, and it kicks me out of the page I'm on a lot. If I could give this no stars I would. I can't believe I paid for this!

Buggy No worthwhile added functionality over using the browser. Sometimes inexplicably displays in a three letter wide column. Not worth the money. Bought it to use quotable. Regret the meager expense.

Love it... Everything you need... Loses a star for the annoying tendency to launch my browser instead of work within the app itself.
