Minipedia is a fast and simple way to access Wikipedia® articles using your iPod, iPhone or iPad without a network connection. # Features * Includes full article text, formulas and tables! * 50.000 articles free * Install multiple languages at the same time * Supports iOS10 and newer * Loads images when an internet connection is available * Fast & intelligent fuzzy search # Highlights ## No Network Connection required No Signal? Don't worry! No matter where you are, with Minipedia you'll have a whole encyclopedia right at your fingertips. Minipedia works offline and provides access to complete article texts, formulas and, of course, tables! *Important:* You must have access to wireless local area network (WiFi) for downloading databases. ## Most Viewed Articles Don't waste your precious space on your mobile device for non-relevant articles. Minipedia provides offline access for the most important ones. Minipedia, with a database of articles much smaller than the entire online Wikipedia, provides intelligent searching based on the popularity of the article. ## Math Formulas and Tables included! Very few Wiki Readers have the capability of correctly displaying math formulas, nor do they include Wikipedia tables (the images and fact summary in a column on the right edge of a Wikipedia web page). This feature can also be a great time saver, as users can quickly extract the necessary information from the table, rather than reading the article. Unfortunately, images are not included in minipedia. They simply take up to much space on your device. ## Search as you Type! Searching for articles is extremely fast. Right when you type the first letter, you will see the first matches! Search Wikipedia articles the Intelligent Way: For example, a search for "Mark" on Wikipedia returns "Marketing" as the first item in the drop-down results list. A search for "Mark" on Minipedia returns "Mark Zuckerberg" as the top result, a more relevant answer for most users. Minipedia's intelligent search returns both results that begin with and results that contain "Mark," (e.g., Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Wahlberg, Denmark, Affiliate Marketing, Marketing, Mark Twain, Mark Hamill, Mark Ruffalo, and Trademark). Searches frequently end before the entire word has been entered. By comparison, Wikipedia provides these more proper, but less relevant results: Marketing, Mark Twain, Market, Market Town, Mark Antony, Marks & Spencer, Mark Knowles, and Mark Woodford. ## Multiple Languages Need German and English at the same time? No Problem! The language is not tied to the language settings of your device, you can have several languages simultaneously. # Want to say Thank You?

Historical events that we don’t have backgrounds of it ### 3/5 — Needs text search function *2022-12-04, version 4.4.0* It overall works well. Can you add a text search option? When you read a long text it is useful to be able to look for specific text or words. The Wikipedia app has it. If you do so I'll give you 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2022-08-21, version 4.4.0* Thank you ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-04-17, version 4.4.0* Download is not working, always 0% ### 4/5 — Offer an option to keep it current? *2022-03-19, version 4.4.0* I believe that there is a market for Minipedia users to have the option of subscribing to regular updates to keep it current, rather than just have it as a snapshot in time from when it was purchased. Please advise if this can be or becomes an option. ### 1/5 — Out of Date Wikipedia *2021-03-16, version 4.3.1* I paid for the Bookworm XXL version of the offline Wikipedia and it’s at least year old because there’s nothing about the current Pandemic which started a year ago. When one can use Kiwix to download the entire current Wikipedia, I’d least expect Minipedia to be more current than a year old and in fact, Minipedia should improve to note the date of their database while keeping it as current as possible. ### 5/5 — Continued Support and updates make it worth it!! *2020-09-25, version 4.3.0* They continue to make it possible to get Wikipedia offline and take the tule to update info. Very well done! ### 5/5 — The best app *2020-03-29, version 4.2.2* This app is great because I bon,t have a SIM card, and every time time I want to search something and I bon’t have internet I have to ask my friends, if I can search it up on there phones and thanks to this app I bon’t have to do that. thank you for this wonderful app. ### 2/5 — Great app, but *2020-02-08, version 4.2.2* It’s stupid how you have to pay extra to save additional Wikipedia pages. If it’s all being saved to my device anyways, then why not let me pick and choose how many pages I want to save? And why is that option locked behind a paywall. It’s just pathetic honestly ### 5/5 — 好 *2019-08-18, version 4.2.2* nice ## Frequently asked questions about Minipedia ### What is Minipedia?
