I even feel bad for writing this one..but I feel it's necessary. For one, it is one of the most ugly interfaces I've ever seen. It reminds me of a website made in the 90s. But I could probably get past that if there was a reason this app did something special the other one hasn't added..but it doesn't. It is literally just an ugly version of the regular Wikipedia app (that's FREE). I only got it to check it out because it was free for a day and it seemed to have a cool concept..but it doesn't. Seriously..it's a downgrade from the free one. Sorry for being harsh..it just needs a LOT of work. ### 4/5 — Nice App *2015-11-07* Nice app, but how do you change the rate of speed for the text to speech setting? The speaking voice is too slow. Other than that I would give this app a 5 star. ## Frequently asked questions about WikiExplorer for Wikipedia ### Does WikiExplorer have ads?
