Put most commonly used languages on top
It looks like it's always the same languages on top, and then you can click 'more languages' to choose between all languages.
But most users have a specific subset of languages which they care about (common case being their mother tongue + english).1 voteYou can now customize your favorite languages in Wikiwand!

Hide or minimze the search bar - show it on hover
I think that the search bar is too big and takes too much place, also it really doesn't look nice IMO, maybe something more sober, and less invasive would be better. Thx,
10 votesWe removed the search bar from the toolbar, now there’s a small search button instead.
Also, we have improved the search accuracy and display, give it a try! -
Fix iOS Safari Crashes
I find WikiWand slow and crashy on mobile Safari. When I load a moderately long article, like Bill Gates, it is slow loading, and about 50% of the time it crashes the page/browser (which I see rarely happen on other sites). On my Android Nexus 7 tablet, Wiki Wand works much better. My Device: iPhone 4S; iOS 8.
3 votesWe improved iOS/Safari performance vastly in the past month. Does it work better now?

I suggest to not show the top search bar at the top unless we put the mouse on it. I think that it takes too much place.
Search bar too present

Disable social features
The new social, 'share' and 'news' features distract from the articles - if I was to share something on Twitter, FB or otherwise, I would use other means.
19 votesWe have recently disabled the news feature in article pages.
We still keep the “share” button for articles, though, since many users use it and it’s widely common in any modern app.

Disable Cover Image
The large cover image on some articles makes scrolling really laggy when compared to articles that don't have a cover image. I think this is due to the hardware-acceleration of scrolling in OS X, but it'd be great if we could disable cover images on all articles (this'd also help load times drastically).
I tried blocking it using a custom adblock filter but the cover_image div has the CSS to offset the content below it, so if you block the image it cuts off the title and first paragraph of the article.
Other than that WikiWand is fab!
12 votesDisabling the cover photo is now possible!
Please click the cogwheel in the toolbar and choose the “Minimal” theme. -

Serve pages over HTTPS
Please add an option or permanently alter the site/extension so that pages are served securely over HTTPS.
You should consider making it harder for government or private entities to intercept, track and profile the browsing history of people trying to educate themselves, which can be a major concern for visitors from some less democratic countries.
Thank you.
39 votesHTTPS is now enabled in Wikiwand – you can browser to any article using HTTPS!
Chrome Extension users are automatically redirected to read the article using HTTPS when arriving from an HTTPS website (such as Google Search). -
save to pdf
This will be very usefull guys!!!
11 votesWe added quick access to Wikipedia’s PDF generator.
In any article, click the Wikiwand logo → “Print / Download as PDF” -
Colour-coded graph legend
With coloured maps and graphs, Wikipedia has a legend that shows how each colour corresponds to a certain data point or value. Wikiwand is missing the colours associated with the values. For example, take a look at the map legend on the Microeconomics page.
9 votesFixed.
Legends should now display properly when clicking an image → clicking (i) in the gallery -
Choosing "Cover photo" for the article.
For now, there is only an option to "report" the cover photo (the big one in the header) as unsuitable or disturbing. Perhaps, there should be an option to choose the cover photo from those related to the article by means of voting, or otherwise.
3 votesIt is not possible to suggest a cover photo. Click any image to open the gallery, then click the “pin” icon in the top-left corner.

Open source
I understand you might want to monetize WikiWand later on, but the source being available shouldn't hurt your ability to do so, and in fact using a popular code hosting provider such as github will likely even accelerate its improvement :)
2 votesHi Waldir. We might release some parts of WikiWand (but not all of it) as Open Source. But this will be in the future.

Talk & History Pages display option
Although not very popular, I'm someone who actually uses the Talk Pages to gain more information on an article, which btw is one of the best hidden secrets on the web. Also, I sometimes use the History page for further context. I'd like to see an option to display links to both the Talk & History pages, instead of having to revert to the old wiki style in order to access them.
14 votesWe’re glad to announce that Talk and History pages, as well as other functions, are now available through the new “W” icon in the toolbar.
