Finally !!! Although, there are quite a few apps on the Android Market trying to provide a similar wiki experience, the need for an native app has always been there. The app comes with some nice features that include:

Save page for reading later

Search articles from nearby based on user’s location

In-app page translation

Share a page using Android’s built-in share functionality

It is a must have app for every smartphone user and I hope we get to see some interesting features with future updates that make it worthy competitor to its iOS counterpart.

Go get it here - http://bit.ly/Attxil
