Custom Interface

Aside from simply bringing you all the WIki articles to your iPhone or iPad, Wikiamo allows users to do much more with their interface in terms of customization, making it a far superior experience to simply viewing it on Safari.

When you first launch up the app, you'll see the search dialog box, allowing you to quickly input whatever you want to look up. This is a real-time search, so you can look up items without typing them in full. Users can adjust the font size for comfortable reading, and the page will rotate on its own as you rotate your device.

If you like to simply browse random articles on Wikipedia, you can shake your iDevice and the app will display a random page for your perusal.

Page-caching options are many. By default, the cache history will be saved for a week, but users can also choose to permanently cache the pages they visit. When pages are cached, they can be accessed even when offline.
