Nice job !
It would be Nice if we could download the map in an image format or send it By email ;)
From exploring Danish Architecture to Canadian history, I found myself wanting to explore more and more through the webs and branches this app creates. This is the easiest way to use Wikipedia and to start understanding the connections between everything in our complex world. This app is useful for all learners and knowledge seekers, and it will only get better!
If you love mind maps and learning new things then this app is for you. Great design, sleek and fun. You wont be disappointed!
Intuitive, easy to use mind mapping style app. It makes discovering new content fun and it keeps you engaged. Any kid who enjoys information exploration will love this app. Great for local discovery as it’s location aware.
Powerful app because it shows connections that you have not thought of and leads you in cool new directions. Cant wait to use this more!
A beautiful app! Its design is fresh and intuitive. The mind maps create great overviews and new links of interest. Great for research. The map feature is useful when traveling to find nearby points of interest.
Some bad moments
Easy to navigate and impressively visual. What a fun way to research and explore connections between new topics. I am truly excited about this app and will be returning to it often. This is the best kind of addiction. ;)
Great App; simple, pretty and easy to use. For teachers and students alike. Am learning so much using this and cant seem to put it down! So much fun!
Im learning a whole lot about my home town that i never new before. A very cool app if i do say so myself.
Im so glad I took a closer look at this app. Its exactly what I needed. I like getting random Wikipedia articles, but theyre often *too* random. So I use Learn Discovery to extract something worthwhile from every random link. The mind maps help me find related articles very quickly so I can drill down to something that interests me (e.g. instead of a random soccer player, I hop to the city hes from and then to the culture of that city, etc.). The sample of YouTube video links for each node is an especially nice feature, one that I think is missing from similar Wikipedia mapping apps.
The app is a little rough around the edges. It seems like the developers have English as a second language; some of the wording is awkward. Dont let that deter you from spending $3, though, if youve been hunting high and low for some serendipity like I have. I hope the developers will stick around and keep improving the app, or that someone else will copy the great features. It really is a pleasure to use :)
This app is how I learn. It allows you to see the whole map of connections, thousands of them all at the same time, and fast! Every student should have this on their phone. Schools should use this as a teaching tool. This app is awesome!
I love Wikipedia, so this is convenient as I dont have to have another Wikipedia app.
