wikiMessage app for iPhone and iPad

The wikiMessage app enables you to quickly send a message to a friend or relative letting them know of a place you are at, interested in, or have recently visited. The receiver of the message simply taps on the message and, assuming the wikiMessage app is on their device, information about the place is displayed. If the app is not installed then they are given an opportunity to download the wikiMessage app from the App Store.

wikiMessage has over 579,000 worldwide Wikipedia & Wikivoyage places resident in its database. You can browse places around your current location or around a chosen worldwide location.

The wikiMessage app has two parts. The first part is a regular iOS application while the second part is an messages application. The two parts are isolated from one another. For example setting an area reference location in the iOS application part does not affect the area selection in the messages part and vice versa.

Because all place data is resident in the app cellular data usage is kept to a minimum. For example, when you send an article only a small amount of information is transmitted. Only when an article is viewed is the article text retrieved over the Internet. The downloaded article contains only text, no pictures or videos.
