I love Wikipedia, but the functionality on the website is so much better. You can't sort the tables and the way they delineate the sections is much clunkier. There are some things like the random article feature which are cool, but it's not enough to offset the poor functionality. I look forward to re-installing this when they fix those things.

Just got a new phone and was disapointed my saved lists did not transfer. To prevent this issue in the future I tried creating an account soley to sync saved lists, not to edit pages, only to find that I've been blocked from creating an account. Having a vetting process for editing pages makes sense, globally blocking a user from syncing lists across devices is dumb. 5 stars otherwise.
