I know you used AI to write this app. Please use AI to learn how to code instead, it’ll be better for you long term. This could be an excellent app. ### 2/5 — Płatna subskrypcja *2025-09-22, version 2.4.8* Nie mogę aktualnie nawet wejść na aplikację, po wybraniu tematów, które mnie interesują nie mogę znaleźć przycisku pominięcia płatnego okresu próbnego. Wszędzie każą mi zapłacić i nie mogę tego pominąć, wychodzenie i wchodzenie oraz odinstalowanie i zainstalowanie aplikacji nic nie daje. Proszę o jak najszybsze naprawienie tego problemu. ### 1/5 — stolen app behind a paywall *2025-04-24, version 2.4.7* as from the title, not only is this app completely stolen from someone else’s GitHub, they have the audacity to put the ENTIRE app behind a paywall so you can’t even use it ### 2/5 — Greed driven app *2025-04-23, version 2.4.7* The developers had very easy task of simply scrapping through the Wikipedia. To which access is free. The price for weekly use is outraging. I see no advantage of this form and what really hurts, is that they are making real profit on someone else’s work. I don’t support this. ### 1/5 — Deludente *2025-03-21, version 2.4.5* Concept originale e interessante, ma il fatto che sia obbligatorio pagare per una versione “pro” non ha proprio senso. Che mi frega di pagarvi se a questo punto è molto più intelligente andare a fare ricerche specifiche come un normale studioso? ### 1/5 — Truffa *2025-03-19, version 2.4.5* Non scaricare, prende informazioni a caso da Wikipedia e ti fa pagare. ### 1/5 — Presupposti fanstastici *2025-03-18, version 2.4.5* Ottima idea, ma mettere a pagamento (e neanche di poco) il lavoro di altri fatto gratuitamente con il presupposto di “conoscenza libera e gratuita”; lo trovo meschino; inoltre, dato che prendendo articoli di utenti che scrivono su wikipedia, la logica è che i stessi utenti paghino per leggere i loro articoli. 🥶 ### 1/5 — 7$ per week says it all *2025-03-16, version 2.4.5* Scam ### 1/5 — Paywall *2025-03-12, version 2.4.1* Great concept, poor execution there are better options for free and although I do like the interface it is an absurd price to pay for something that you scroll through on your spare time, not worth it spare yourself the headache. ### 1/5 — Problem z uruchomieniem *2025-03-07, version 2.4* Po dokonaniu zakupu nie da się aktywować aplikacji ### 1/5 — Very bold to charge money for barely working app *2025-03-06, version 2.4* App offers 3 days free trial after subscribing for a month, and on top of that the functionality seems broken as the app does not respond after the subscription page nor it restores previous purchases. Using Wikipedia as a source with no fancy backend and charging money for this is beyond acceptable. ### 2/5 — Bug *2025-02-19, version 2.1* Application intéressante mais avec une gros problème, les liens sont tjrs erronés…la place Wikipédia correspondant à l’article n’est pas le bon (ex on parle d’une fête traditionnelle mais quand on clique sur plus ça nous envoie vers la page d’un région d’argentine) c’est dommage ### 2/5 — This is an amazing idea! *2025-02-14, version 2* This app is an amazing idea! However, it seems to have a lot of bugs to work out. I purchased the 4.99 monthly subscription and it asks me to purchase it again when I open the app. Also it does not save liked articles. This will be amazing once it starts running smoother. ### 3/5 — Still needs work *2025-02-13, version 1.9* I have tried the app for a couple of days now but no relevant articles pop up. Smalltown unknown athletes, small counties in the US with an expansion of 16 over 10 years, … I get that this is exactly what wikipedia is for but I prefer random facts. The ‘delete account’ function doesn’t work so please fix this so I van delete my info. Thanks ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2025-02-12* I quite like the app a few things are a little jack but that can all be fixed, one thing I would very much like to see is a view more option that doesn’t require opening a webpage, also scrolling upwards doesn’t go back to the previous article which can be annoying. Otherwise I love the idea and can’t wait to see more people get us out of it and future updates. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great idea, flawed execution *2026-05-12, version 2.7* Pretty clearly vibe coded appslop. Lots of UI issues and a visibly poor understanding of mobile UX. I'll pay for a subscription when it's earned with human skill and labor. ### 1/5 — The app requires a subscription *2026-04-06* This wasn’t mentioned before signing up ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-03-05, version 2.592* Can’t use this app at all ### 1/5 — Brilliant idea, horrible app *2025-09-25, version 2.4.8* Worst app I have ever seen, I assume it’s version 1.0 of app but it shouldn’t be paid. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2025-08-10, version 2.4.8* This scam app requires payment. It shouldn’t be listed as free. It should be removed. ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-07-18* Good idea, but no free version atm (only trial or paid) ### 1/5 — Shame on you *2025-07-16, version 2.4.8* learning things should be free. Moreover, wikipedia is a free encyclopedia that promotes FREE colaboration for education. You are just using the work of good people for money. ### 1/5 — Scam - beware *2025-06-25, version 2.4.8* Cool app, pretty bad UI and functionality. That said, I was satisfied with the app enough to buy a subscription to remove ads and support the service as it grew. It started fine, but I noticed they were double charging me. No problem, I could request a refund. But it continued to double charge me. After getting the first refund processed, the app started QUADRUPLE charging me as if the developer was aware I was potentially going to cancel my subscription so they could squeeze as much. $ out of me before I did. Seriously? Way to lose a customer. Do not subscribe to this app. ### 1/5 — Totti *2025-06-01, version 2.4.8* Ottimo ma il pagamento anche no ### 1/5 — It’s paid *2025-05-03, version 2.4.8* Who will pay to see random Wikipedia pages? XDDD ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Très belle idée ! *2025-02-28, version 2.2* Une application très bien que je recommande c’est intéressant dommage que peut de personnes « l’utilisent » bref , une bonne application ! ( seule problème pas mal de bug de chargement mais rien de grave ) ### 5/5 — Perfect Blend of Fun and Education *2025-02-17, version 2* WikiTok has made learning fun! I appreciate the random article feature, which leads me down endless rabbit holes. It’s engaging, and I often share fascinating discoveries with friends. This app is a must-have for trivia lovers! ### 5/5 — A Great Way to Learn on the Go *2025-02-16, version 2* I love how WikiTok allows me to scroll through Wikipedia articles without the usual hassle. The interface is sleek, making it enjoyable to dive into new subjects. It's my go-to app for quick learning and a perfect cọmpanion for my cọmmute! ### 5/5 — Great app, maybe additional languages? *2025-02-11, version 1.7* A great alternative to silly videos in the app. It would be nice to have the option to change the language—I personally prefer Polish, but other languages would be good too. I’m curious about the app’s development. I will keep using it. ### 5/5 — Include pictures *2025-02-08, version 1.5* 5 stars cause I wanna support a Great idea but much room for improvement- would be nice if you could select to see favorite subjects (I’d rather see science articles than ones about albums and artists I’ve never heard of), would be nice if you could read the full article if interested, or if the snippets included pictures. ### 5/5 — Great Idea! *2025-02-08, version 1.5* Really good idea with lots of potential! Really excited for the next couple of Updates where maybe the interface, format, etc. could be improved. Keep it up! ### 5/5 — Please!!!! *2025-02-05, version 1.5* Russians Russian to the app, and the Russian community is waiting for this app. ### 5/5 — Language *2025-02-05, version 1.5* please add more languages! be sure to add Russian language at first ^_^ five stars for the idea ⭐️ ### 4/5 — Satisfying Curiosity Effortlessly *2025-02-17* The ability to scroll through diverse topics has expanded my knowledge base significantly. WikiTok is user-friendly and visually appealing, turning information consumption into an addictive yet informative habit. Highly recọmmend for curious minds! ### 4/5 — Great idea *2025-02-14, version 2* I enjoy the app. Can you work on the font because it’s hard to read. Hope you keep improving on this Great idea. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
