What's New

New feature "Annotate Article" (Requires iOS5 or newer). This will allow you to mark up a page to help you study or change the content of an article to trick your friends when you realize you just lost a bet ;) Changes made will be saved locally and will NOT affect Wikipedia.

To annotate an article press the action button then chose Annotate Article. Once an article is in annotation mode, you can edit or highlight the text. When finished, press the save button to save a copy within your saved pages bookmarks.

Fixed a iOS6 bug where svg images weren't displayed in full screen.
