The wikiHow app for the Palm Pre® gives you access to over 50,000+ how-to articles to search, browse or bookmark. The app also includes the ‘wikiHow Survival Kit,’ which is a collection of articles to help you through any situation you may find yourself in, and the best part—it is stored right on your phone, so you won’t need a connection to access it, which is great if you’re lost in the woods and are trying to access the ‘how to survive being stranded in the woods’ article.

The interface of the app is pretty straightforward. Immediately upon launch, the wikiHow Survival Kit pops up, with articles on avoiding rattlesnack attacks, building igloos, changing tires, etc. If you want to look for something a little less urgent, such as how-to make fairy wings for a Halloween costume, simply tap the right bubble on the top app bar and you can look at featured articles or do a search.

Featured articles are picked by wikiHow and are a great way to find out about random things you may want to learn, such as how to make peanut butter from scratch or 5 ways to cope with frustration. They change on a daily basis.

To find a specific how-to article, you simply type in what you want to learn and hit enter. Any article featuring your keywords will show up on the screen and you can then choose the one you want to read first. If it doesn’t answer your question, simply use the back gesture on your Palm Pre (slide right to left to the left of the home button at the bottom of the screen), and pick a different option. You can also share the article by text or email, by tapping the ‘Share’ button in the center at the bottom of the screen. And, you can open the article up in a web browser, which takes you right to the wikiHow page.

Each article features step-by-step instructions and a picture, and some even include a video showing each step. The videos are typically from youtube and will launch a separate browser window when chosen.

Whether you’re looking to do a new project or need to know how to change your tire, wikiHow has the step-by-step instructions for you. And, it’s free!

Years ago, if you wanted a comprehensive dictionary, you had to buy a huge book and possibly a stand to hold it while you looked up words. Thanks to modern technology, now you can electronically access world-renowned dictionaries without breaking a sweat. The Dictionary.com application for the iPhone® is based on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, thus offering a vast database at your fingertips.

The application has four main features:

• Dictionary – Search for the definitions of words. The dictionary will pull up a list of words based on the first few letters you input. The definitions include the word’s origins, a phonetically spelled pronunciation, and examples of how the word can be used. To hear the word pronounced out loud, tap the speaker key.
• Thesaurus – The Thesaurus that comes with the application uses Roget’s 21st Century Thesaurus, Third Edition. You can look up words in the Thesaurus directly, or, once you’ve looked up a word in the Dictionary, you can tap on Thesaurus to see a list of synonyms.
• Recent – Saves your most recent word searches. Icons next to the word indicate whether it was looked up in the dictionary, thesaurus, or had been a word of the day.
• Word of the Day – For those who are looking to expand their vocabulary, there’s a Word of the Day feature. Tap this icon and the application will pull up a word at random. As with the dictionary, a full definition and usage examples are provided.

Pros: Huge database of words and phrases. Pulls up possible words once the first few letters are entered. Can hear the word pronounced.
Cons: Thesaurus does not show antonyms for words. Have to be connected to the Internet in order to hear pronunciations or access the Word of the Day feature.

This application for iPhone® helps you to access Wikipedia® quickly and easily!

This app is designed for easy search, navigation and display of Wikipedia entries.

If you find a picture you like, you can just add it to your Photo library on your phone.

So missing some information? Look it up by using Wikipanion and always know the answer to a question. You never know when this app will come in handy.
