The question is, why do we need Wiki browsers on the iPad (and even more so paid ones), when reading articles through Safari seems to be quite comfortable and does not require any effort. But let's not rush to answer, some programs are able to present wiki pages crumpled to holes from a different angle, revealing access to content that many do not know at all or use quite rarely.
The first impression of Articles is the beautiful packaging for the Wiki. When Jobs turns 70, the iPad 6 Gs can be rolled up, and the firmware will sync wirelessly, most of the Internet pages of the future will look like this. However, why epithets, see the screenshots below from the browser and from Articles.
Now about those hidden possibilities. First of all, this is the use of the map to find interesting objects nearby, travelers should like it. In addition, page optimization for Articles exposes the content of some links in addition to articles, so you can discover valuable information not previously seen.
Many articles in the encyclopedia have the length of a sheet, it is not very convenient to scroll through the entire text with a standard gesture, to solve this problem, the Articles developers added a special gesture command (tap-tap and press), a scale of parts will appear on the right side for quick navigation on the page. The font size is adjustable with two fingers, all other actions are similar to those in Safari.
What Articles offers:
- autocomplete in the search bar
- search by title or content
- context menu for sending links to E-mail or bookmarks
- saving images to Camera Roll
- search history
- access to recent articles offline
- tabs for viewing multiple articles (ala Safari)
The “Surprise Me” function left a very positive impression. We take the iPad in both hands and shake it well, a completely random article from the encyclopedia appears on the screen, the reader will need to know English (3,305,000 articles in English) and a lot of time, the iPad will surely become a hit among prisoners with higher education.
Perhaps the "enticement" turned out, and someone has already rushed to the AppStore, but I would not rush. It is not news that iPad applications are 2-3 times more expensive than similar solutions for the iPhone. Articles is no exception, its cost at the moment is $ 4.99. The answer to whether or not to buy is the number of wiki articles you read per week.
