Wiki Bee - Review - Malone Ruty2001

Hekool is offering a Wikipedia app over at the Market, Wiki Bee. Wiki Bee is a directly forward, simple to use, Wikipedia portal for Windows Phone 7.

The Windows Phone app comes in two flavors; a free version (Wiki Bee Complimentary) and a paid version (Wiki Bee). Both versions allow y'all to search in 35 languages, auto-complete searches, quick navigation through a table of contents, and the means to immediately render to your most recent topic searched.

The differences residual with the paid version of Wiki Bee. With the pay version you add the ability to save topics every bit favorites, bound to any topic in your search history, and take offline admission to your history and favorites.

Free or not to be Free?

Wiki Bee Screens

The hardest thing to decide with Wiki Bee is if you want to invest the $1.29 and buy the full version. If you need access to Wikipedia from your Windows Phone, either will do only fine.

Both versions ran smoothly with no bugs, glitches, or crashes experienced. Searches ran smoothly and the predictive/car-complete feature added to the ease.

Wiki Bee Favorites

The choice actually boils down to your need for a Favorites feature and the ability to admission off-line material. Wiki Bee lays the Favorites out in metro fashion with your search history and settings completing the hub. To add a topic to your Favorites, but tap the "add to favorites" button on the topic screen. Then to view your favorites, plain yous tap the favorites button.

With Wiki Bee Complimentary, the favorites button pulls up your Settings and the option to buy the full version. Both apps share the same contents push and Welcome Screen (search page) buttons.

Overall Impression

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best and Wiki Bee definitely presents a adept instance for such. In that location'south really not much to this application.

You lot type in your search topic and it pulls the information from Wikipedia. The paid version allows for you to populate a favorites listing with topics y'all use with frequency and gives you the ability to pull that information up when off-line.

If you lot don't need these features, and so Wiki Bee Gratis won't miss a vanquish. Personally, I can live without the favorites list but having the ability to call back information while off-line (e.g. in areas of little or no reception) is a worth the price of admission.

There is a trial version available for Wiki Bee with the total version running $i.29. You lot tin can find Wiki Bee hither (opens your Zune desktop) and Wiki Bee Free hither at the Marketplace.
