Features & Capabilities

The best gets even better! Enhance Wikipedia with queue mode, designed for keeping track of entries you want to read in the future. Add entries to the queue easily while browsing, and optionally save them for faster visiting or offline browsing. Downloading entries for offline or accelerated reading happens in the background while you browse and read other pages, so you don't have to stop and wait for pages to be saved.

User Reviews

Wikipanion Plus is valued for its queueing and offline-reading features and broad wiki support, with fast navigation and a long track record. However, users repeatedly report dark mode absence and persistent issues with custom wikis (including Wiktionary and self-hosted wikis), plus performance and stability problems across iOS versions. External-link handling can also block preferred browsers. Overall, it's a powerful reader that needs essential UX updates, especially dark mode and wiki reliability.

Pros

Indispensable queueing and saved/cached articles feature for offline reading.
Strong multi-wiki support (Wikipedia and other MediaWiki wikis).
Fast, efficient navigation and category access—faster than some alternatives.
Longstanding, trusted app with a loyal user base and proven core functionality.

Cons

No dark mode; widely requested by many users.
Problems with custom wikis and Wiktionary (adding, loading, self-hosted issues).
Performance slowdowns and slow loading especially after OS/app updates.
Stability issues across iOS versions (crashes, unreliable queue, some features like link holding not working).
External-link handling can block preferred browsers due to OS restrictions.

Recent reviews

I would give this app 5 stars for its content, but it is now very slow to load. I don’t know if this problem coincided with the most recent IOS upgrade, but it is persistent. It is not a problem with my internet connection. It is a problem with the app. It is now very slow and cumbersome.

Great app. The only thing lacking is dark mode.

I have been using this app for like a decade. It’s great. To the developer: we’re begging; Please, please, please release an update with dark mode though it’s all we could possibly ask for!
