Excelente

Uma excelente forma de aprender assuntos novos, com informações checadas e com interligações às páginas correlacionadas ao tema que está sendo lido. O novo design ficou bonito e produz uma boa experiência do usuário.

App not as good as browser

Deleting the app because I prefer the browser format

Latest version broken

The top red articles card is toggled on, but it will not show on the latest iPhone OS 27. It’s been reported before but nothing no progress uninstalling and reinstalling did not fix it. Logging out and logging in again. Did not fix it. I hate posting this because it’s my favorite app and i’ve never had any problems so this is pretty surprising in a bad way.

Love wikipedia; hate the redesign …

I detest the dumbed-down new format on the iPhone. You have to scroll through the entire article to find the part you want, because there’s no longer a table of contents. Boo!

First Impression

Downloaded the app after Wikipedia notified me about it; the logo was similar to WealthSimple, I laughed and didn’t even open the app. I checked other things on my phone and searched for someone on Safari while totally forgetting about the Wikipedia app. I touched on Wikipedia on Google while I was looking to read about someone and now jumped to the Wikipedia app! After passing skip/next, wow! Great first impression to look at the article on the Wikipedia app! I was sold! Great job!

Block that is unwarranted

Tried creating an account and my IP was blocked even though I never tried changing anything and i downloaded the app and when I tried making an account it blocked me and I have no clue why and the support to dispute that block is hard to find and it reads code like python not actual directions with a pop up that you can’t really exit. This app sucks and I wanted to create a wiki page of myself.

Simply the best. Simplemente la Mejor

excellent app since the very beginning.

Add search for commons

I and others would like to have the have the ability to search the wikimedia commons on the app. If the developers could integrate the search bar for the front page of the commons, it would be greatly appreciated as the wikipedia app is the hub to all other branches of wikimedia.

Searching

Most of Wikipedia is great. But when I tap the search icon, I would expect focus to go to the search bar which should automatically pop up the keyboard. That I have to tap the search icon AND tap the search bar is sad.

The Ultimate App

This app is life changing and really made Wikipedia feel like an integral part of my life/knowledge. All the customization and features you would expect of a modern browser are all found in the app. If you’re always going down different rabbit holes, THIS is the app for you. Genuinely I can’t stop talking about it and I love it so much I donated to Wikipedia for the first time.

Worse UI than mobile version

Articles are displayed without the option to minimize sections, a major disadvantage over simply browsing Wikipedia on safari. Pictures and images are also clipped. Furthermore, the fact that it redirects you to the app when you click on web articles means multiple wiki articles can’t be kept open at once.

I very satisfied with this app

My all articles are clarified and understandable

Cherish the love we have

Cool and the gang

Very nice, informative and simple to use

I really like using the app rather than the website version. It’s simple to use and easy to find information I may be looking for. It’s also very informative on the topics that I may search up about. And there’s no misinformation! So I’m very happy about that. I love the way the app UI looks and you can customize it to your liking. It also has accessibility features for people who struggle with that, which a lot of other app I’ve used doesn’t seem to have a lot of features or none for that kind of thing. Like me, I can’t see small words/ letters very well, so being able to change the text size is a very big plus! It’s also not over stimulating or have a bunch of ads scatter around the pages, unlike other apps I’ve used. It’s nice to just see pictures, audios, and videos related to the subject I’ve searched up. The articles also have table of contents which is very helpful and organized.

Now one thing that I have a complaint about is not being able to sort my saved articles into their own groups or files. You can organize them alphabetically or sort them by how recent you’ve added them, but you can’t put them into their own personal group. (Like you cannot create a “new group” and put specific articles in them into different groups by your stander or personal preference) it would be very nice if this was a feature on this app because I’m a person who research a lot of different topics and having to scroll past a bunch of other saves is a bit disorganizing to me. But nothing to really harp on, just a personal preference. Other than that, the app is great and wonderful to use, especially if you’re in school, work, writer, or just looking into a subject for the fun of it! Very nice indeed. :)

gobsmacked

no words needed

Zero credibility garbage

Some facts mixed with extreme lying. Completely worthless source. Not to mention antisemites run everything there.

My go-to starting point…

… for research and review. An excellent stepping stone to in-depth sources and related material. Its chief downfall is distraction, mine. It’s so easy to follow a breadcrumb trail of interests, consuming unintended volumes of tangential topics, and time, along the way. :) There are two features though, that for me, would greatly increase the apps utility: In ‘Reading Lists’, a way to save a copy of Reference articles (when permitted), or the link to them, when not. And in ‘Saved Articles’, a way to highlight material, add notes, and/or links connecting to specific places in other Wikipedia articles (WikiMedia more broadly), then preserve those highlights, notes, and links, for future use.

Propaganda

Left wing propaganda, not suitable for official research, too heavily biased and heavily political

Wikipedia is invaluable

Frankly, Wikipedia is one of the most important cornerstones of modern human civilisation.
