(4 stars)I love this app, but I also agree with one of the reviewers before me that it lacks certain features such as offline reading and a read later button. These would be great additions. Thanks elegantly understated design (5 stars) A beautiful app, perfectly designed. My hope is that the designer will do three things: (1) make the iPad version of this app more similar in its light aesthetic design to this one, (2) allow for icloud syncing and (3) design a mac app using the same aesthetic as this one. For me, it's the use of whites, light grays and elegant fonts that makes this app particularly special and a pleasure to use. great app if you like Wikipedia (5 stars) i use Wikipedia all the time and love this app on my iTouch
