  • Makes the world a better place

    This is one of those apps that everyone should be talking about. It does an excellent job of bringing Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia knowledge to people who don't have easy internet access. I aplaud the people behind it. Apple needs to have a special link for Apps like this that make the world a better place.

  • Amazing app for travellers and frequent flyers

    This app is great for people who want wikipedia any time, and frequently go places with no internet access. It allowed me to look up landmarks, species, foods, history, and attractions in remote reaches of Peru, and on the flight there.
  • New update is slow. Plz fix

    I use this app for quick access to wiktionary while reading non-English texts. However with the new update, the app loads slower, and it’s sometimes quicker just to use the site. Still a good app, just not as useful as before.
  • Download manager has a huge bug

    The Download Manager need to be fixed...take to an end and nothing happens...
  • Super handy, clean and stable

    I do quite a bit of international travel, and even with a decent data plan, access to the internet is often not cheap, convenient, or even possible. So I love having a big chunk of Wikipedia and Wiktionary stored offline for those times when I just NEED to know something and Google and online Wikipedia are not available. This does the trick with a clean design and stable performance on my 128 GB iPad.

  • Fast, well structured

    Though some labels were not parsed well, it is structured. You can find sections quickly. A little large (lib file), maybe for speed or structure reason
  • What more do you need?

    It's totally free and gives you full Wikipedia access and so much more.
  • Brilliant Resouce

    Allows you to download a snapshot of Wikipedia and I mean over 5 million articles. I choose the 20gb version because I don't need pictures.

    Now I've got the ability to check anything I want wherever and whenever.

    I'd rate it 5 but the downloadable database is from December 2016. Still bloody good though.

  • Wikipedia in your pocket! Best app ever!

    For me, Wikipedia is the Internet. I spend a lot of time away without connectivity, so being able to have a 60GB snapshot of the site in its entirety is amazing (ok admittedly with no multimedia and low res images). It means I can be miles from anywhere and still satiate my curiosity about, well, almost anything!

    The only (very) small gripe I have is that sometimes the article will load with an incredibly narrow column of text to the right of a index table, which can be difficult to read. But that's a small price to pay!

    All in all, I think it's my favourite app.

  • Best offline Wikipedia app

    Excellent! I did a LOT of research, and was willing to pay well for a good offline Wikipedia app. I tried a few, but this is far and away the best that I've seen!
