User reviews

Users appreciate the Modern for Wikipedia add-on for its attractive and improved design, ease of use, and superior experience compared to similar tools like Wikiwand. However, multiple users report significant issues with the add-on causing continuous page reloads or infinite redirection, especially on certain operating systems or network setups. Android users face difficulties with the add-on being stuck on the main page. While customization is a strong point, users desire more features such as color inversion for images and greater font customization.

just got off wikiwand in favor of this; super promising and pleasant to use! more customization is always nice (custom/imported fonts, color wheels for themes, etc), but not at all immediately necessary. i think the header text is a little bit too large compared to the body, but that's nitpicky. really big fan :D

Beautiful on Windows/Linux, but still stuck on the 'Wikipedia' page on Android. Please could you sort this.
