Learn something real every day, one short story at a time. Chunks turns spare minutes into discovery: short narrated stories about the people, events and ideas that shaped our world, from ancient empires and Greek myths to philosophy, psychology and modern science. Each story takes about five minutes. Listen, read along or read, then quiz yourself on what you learned. Made for curious minds, students and lifelong learners who want their screen time to leave them knowing more. SWIPE TO DISCOVER Discover plays short previews of stories, one after another. Swipe up for the next, tap to start listening. The scroll you already know, filled with things worth knowing. LISTEN, READ ALONG, OR READ Every story is narrated, and the words light up as they're spoken. Follow along, or switch to reading at your own pace. Your story keeps playing while you browse, from the lock screen and in CarPlay. QUIZ YOURSELF Finish a story, then test what stuck with a quick quiz. Remembering beats re-reading. EARN XP, KEEP YOUR STREAK, COLLECT BADGES Every story you finish earns XP. Listen on more days in a row to build your streak, and unlock badges as your knowledge grows.

Explore Wikipedia, one idea at a time. Somewhere on Wikipedia there's an article you'll want to read to the last line. WanderWiki helps you stumble onto it. Swipe through cards, each one a Wikipedia article you might never have looked up yourself. Read two over breakfast, or follow one thread for an hour. 20 FREE ARTICLES EVERY DAY Read 20 articles a day for free, with nothing to sign up for. Saving, liking, and searching are free while the day's articles last, and you can search all of Wikipedia when one card leaves you with a question. FIND YOUR CORNER OF THE ENCYCLOPEDIA Browse 16 categories when you already know what you're in the mood for. With Premium, For You builds a feed around your interests. It uses each Wikipedia edition's own categories and works in 17 languages. TODAY IN HISTORY See what happened on this day: events, births, deaths, and holidays, along with the day's highlights. Today in History is part of Premium and works in 19 languages. In those languages, your daily notification can name one of the day's picks. KEEP YOUR PLACE Close an article halfway and pick up exactly where you left off. Articles show their reading time, so you know whether one fits your coffee break, and they remember how far you got. Sort what you save into folders. Saved articles download, so you can read them on a plane or anywhere without a signal. KEEP THE HABIT A streak reminder helps you keep your reading streak alive, even on busy days. When the week is done, share your weekly recap. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN Five widgets bring a little Wikipedia to your Home Screen. On This Day shows today's history with a photograph, and Reading Year shows your year of reading. Continue Reading, Got a Minute, and Two Doors complete the set. On iOS 27, On This Day and Reading Year can fill a whole page. The widgets come in all 40 of the app's locales. When you can't pick, say "Surprise me with WanderWiki" to Siri. YOUR READING STAYS YOURS WanderWiki has no ads and needs no account. It collects nothing about you, and your reading stays on your device, so your curiosity is nobody else's business. You can delete your data from Settings at any time. Read Wikipedia in 32 languages, in an app translated into 40 locales. WanderWiki runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.2 or later. Today's 20 free articles are ready. See where they take you. PREMIUM Premium adds For You, Today in History, and unlimited swiping. Choose Monthly or Yearly, each with a one-week free trial for new subscribers, or pay once for Lifetime.
