I have been searching for the best OFFLINE Wikipedia app and need some help on finding one.

I am only interested in Wikipedia apps that allow you to download, in addition, a "near" complete and curated database of Wikipedia for offline use (and not apps that merely allow you to cache a page for offline viewing).

Here are some apps I have considered (some of which I purchased to try but found them inadequate):

All Of Wiki - problem is that the app has not been updated as of late 2013, and the database has also not been updated since then.

Wiki Offline - app crashes frequently to be nearly unusable in iOS 7 (worst in iOS 8).

Wiki Offline 2 - did not like the subscription model. There is no way "purchase" the app so that the database will not expire.

Wiki Offline Pro - same problem as All Of Wiki, the database has not been updated since 2013.

Any other suggestions? I don't mind spending some coins on purchasing another app, but I want one that will not "expire" and one that the developer will continue to update the database.
