I like the old icon

Good app terrible new icon

Agreed with others here the new icon is horrible - so horrible in fact I just had to pan it here. Hiding in folder until changed. The old icon was lovely. This new one just doesnt get iOS 7 aesthetics.

Great

I dont mind the new icon. I would give it 5 stars if the app was designed for iOS 7.

icon?

This is a nice app and I like it, but a lot of why I downloaded it was the card catalog icon, which is gone now :(

ugh that new icon

Horrible, ugly, angular wicked-witch-W sharp icon, very unpleasant looking. Deleting this app and will find another one that doesnt mar my screen and my day.

Well

I actually really like the new icon. Didnt care for the old one, but I think the new is great. The update could stand to look more in line with iOS 7s new UX though. Still no reason for <5 ⭐️s though.

Goth Icon?

This app is great despite needing an iOS 7 upgrade. Also, the icon looks a little bit too goth. This is a Wikipedia app, not a death metal news app.

Well done

A very handy and easy to read app especially on a small phone screen, if you seek for an information about a random object this app would be the best choice for you.

Ehh icon

New icon makes it seem so ordinary now. Can we get an option for enlarging text in the app? So small.

Ugh... Horrible new icon

There are dozens of Wiki apps. I chose this one initially because of the beautiful icon of a card catalog. Guess which app will now be unused until you get rid of this horribly impersonal icon? Ugh. Dont anger the librarian: bring back the card catalog icon.

Ugly icon

Cant get over the ugly icon

Icon must die...

Worst icon in the history of icons.

Great app, pitiful logo design

Worthy of 5-stars until they changed the icon. App is responsive and more functional than Wikipedia, but the icon doesnt have the elegance or Apple-like design it once had. Shame.

Bring back the old app icon!

This truly is the best wiki app out there. Not sure why they decided to change from a beautiful app icon to this new one. It actually makes me not want to use the app... Seriously, please go back to the old app icon.

iOS 7 update

You changed the icon, but please redesign the UI to match the design of iOS 7.

Needs An Update

1) As stated by many others, the "modernized" app icon is hideous. Something to the tune of a non-skeuomorphic article or a book, or even just a flat W in helvetica would do. 2) Were nearing a year and its still not confirming to the HIG, which is a pretty lame. That said it gets points for working well and still being the best Wikipedia reader out there.

I love the app, hate the update

Ugly icon and no iOS 7 UI update.

The best Wiki app. Period.

Do not waste your time with any other wiki app. This is the ONLY one you need. It is perfect, beautiful and easy to use. Please. Update to iOS 7 styles.

beautiful

Ive been using this app for years

The best!

Ive tried numerous wiki apps and this is by far the best. Being able to open multiple pages is very handy! Never had any issues with this app. Must say though, I do hate the icon change, loved the original..
