App puts the power of vast how-to Web site on your mobile device
Learning how to do something is easy if you know where to look—and if you have a Mac nearby with an Internet connection. On the iPhone, however, tutorials are harder to come by.
This is a great little free app from wikiHow. Tons of how to information that ranges from absolutely top-notch stuff - the Survival Kit articles are really detailed, and the Featured list is great, too - to some more amusing/less complete content. It's a wiki after all. Navigation is easy, and I like that it caches recent searches in case you need to find the same thing again. I also like that it's so easy to cache articles on the phone, apps like Wikipanion make you pay for that feature. The "Shake for Random" feature is fun. And while I hope I never need the survival kit, it's pretty cool that I don't have to be able to get a network to treat a injuries, do the Heimlich manuever or deliver a baby (yikes!).I'd love category-based navigation, too, and a way to find popular content. But in general, this is a great app.
