| 2024-12-20 |  | | en | Sorry but I'm not going to pay for a glorified userscript for Wikipedia. Absolutely ridiculous hahahaha |
| 2024-09-01 |  | | en | Wow guys, congrats đ you've ruined one of the best web extensions ever! For years I have been a loyal wikiwand user. The ORIGINAL UI made browsing Wikipedia so much more efficient and easy. Post redesign; congrats your extension is now useless! Flooded with AI, slower buffering time than even base Wikipedia, and best of all: a Paywall. Any regular Wikiwand user would agree that a monthly subscription fee of $1.99-$3.99 would be reasonable. But $9.99-$19.99 a month?!?! To pay for a more outdated UI, flooded with useless AI, and buffering times that are at best 3x longer than OG Wikiwand UI. I wanted to support you guys, but without being able to use the OG Wikiwand UI I have chosen to uninstall Wikiwand until the devs restore Wikiwand to the original UI, Goodbye for now. 11/18/2024 update: wow, it's even slower now, installed to see if omni wikiwand was back, but nope. Uninstalled x2. Clearly Devs don't care about the supporters who were here years back, ya know, the ones who put your extension on the map... smh. best of luck. |

| 2024-10-31 |  | | de | ich wĂŒnsche mir die version davor zurĂŒck. die neue ist mich zu viel und unbrauchbar. login will ich bei einer extension auch nicht. deaktiviert. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | en | Pretty cool extension, but whenever I try to search something in the search bar it reloads the page and adds " ?title= something " to the URL bar. Forcing me to search the article by writing it on the actual URL, which is so dumb and a waste of time. The new UI is.. good? I like a lot of the things you added and the moving things around so there's a clearer view just give me back my dirt theme or "nature" theme as you call it. And please just remove the ad about upgrading Wikiwand springing and blocking view of the article which is blatantly made so you HAVE to look at the upgrades. And who is paying 5+ dollars a month for the timeline function? I only mention the timeline because you can use any of the FREE AIs at your disposal to chat and to ask them the top questions and much more. Why do I have to use an account to use Wikiwand? The goal of Wikiwand isn't supossed to be to make money, so why are you out here trying to harvest my data? |

| 2024-10-28 |  | | en | I've been happy to use this product for 5+ years for free. With the new update, I've only just started experimenting with the AI ââfeatures, but I'm already subscribed. I really want to support this project and make sure it grows into something even more amazing! |
