Pros and cons of WikiPlaces - Wikimapia mobile app for iPhone and iPad

WikiPlaces - Wikimapia mobile app good for

I have been trying to understand where the ancient monuments in Rome where located. This App has all the information and a lot more! I love it! And the support is incredible! Fast and compent!
Its good to have it, easy way to find something interesting around you.
Absolutely great Wikimapia client. The author is a great man who adopted the latest version to support my outdated iOS 6, its unbelievable customer care indeed. Thanks a lot, I enjoy the app!
One suggestion,be sure to post more info about the places users look up, or provide a Wikipedia tab. Otherwise great app.
fascinating to know how apples campus is laid out. The price of this application is right. FREE
Awesome, it was shame without app for wikimapia. For 5*-bulgarian language and option to edit favorites/add notes And yes, join wikimapia:)

Some bad moments

Does not work at all on Edge; limited performance on 3G. While the maps do display Wiki links fairly quickly in 3G, NONE of the links produced reasonable Wiki information - only a title of the landmark (business name, etc). At this point, I see no useful purpose whatsoever...
Application functions fine, but when launched prompts for my Itunes account password. Is anyone else getting this behavior? It has. Message box with my Itunes account and asks for my password. What kind of application does that?
Program doesnt provide u with coordinates which makes it useless
v 2.96 - wikimapia layer is not loading, search is not working
