Great app

I use this app every day. It’s the only real alternative to Wikipedia, with the other apps being weak and featureless. It also offers things the official Wikipedia doesn’t like offline saving (reading articles without the internet), wiktionary and fandom lookups for tv shows, and searching for pages near your location.

Good but…

So this app is really good it’s just the fact that the download images function does not even work, it doesn’t even ask for access to photos so of course it wouldn’t work, fix this!

Can’t add Wikis

The only wiki this app gives access to is Wikipedia. 'Adding' other wikis does nothing.
