It's *almost* like they saw https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:IOS_Wikipedia_App_5.0_Update.pdf ;)
Thanks Tilman. It's nice to see apps using Wikipedia data. My personal favorite is FieldTrip[1] which is basically the same thing as Curiousity but with more data sources[2].
Since Curiousity is charging for the app, it would be nice to see them contribute back to projects in some way.
