Wiki Edit works for MediaWiki and Wikia sites. It doesn’t support PBWorks as they don’t use MediaWiki. (They use a program called Peanut Butter Wiki they developed.)

You can recognize MediaWiki’s like Wikipedia and others by the sunflower logo on the bottom of the site. That sunflower image was released to the public domain to allow people to recognize which Wiki’s and software were being used. It’s the reason Wiki Edit’s icon is a sunflower.

Although I never claimed to support PBWorks, I don’t want you to be upset. I have a great deal of respect for teachers — especially those using technology in the classroom.

You can either return the item via iTunes, or I would be very happy to send you $4 by mail if you would prefer. You could send me your address via email (don [at] wikieditapp.com)

I try to be very upfront that the software is for MediaWiki and Wikia. I’m really sorry about the confusion.

Best wishes to you and your students,

I have been looking at offline editing. There are a lot of issues to work around for editing MediaWiki articles offline, and Wiki Edit has just basic editing conflict resolution currently.

I will be making a change in the next version (or the version right after) to make it so that you can keep one page in edit mode even if you’ve lost your connection to the internet. From there I’ll see about adding more offline capabilities.

Thank you for the question.

Best,

- Don

Wikispaces doesn’t actually run Mediawiki software. They’ve made several parts of their user interface look similar to Mediawiki, but Wikispaces’ wiki markup language, and software platform are both proprietary. Wiki Edit only supports editing on sites running Mediawiki software. I’m not aware of any iPad apps supporting Wikispaces currently. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
