Why Wikipedia should be rated 6/5 stars.
Since The Web has revealed itself, not as the Superhighway, but as the Public Bathroom Wall of The Universe, Wikipedia stands alone as the source of reliable factual information for all to access. Everyone in this organization should have their pay doubled, and a free five year lease on the transportation vehicle of their choice, insurance and operating costs fully paid. ( Car, boat, aircraft-carrier, tractor….) It is the least we can do! Accurate information may now be the most precious thing humanity has in our possession.

I love Wikipedia
This app is so useful

Can’t open multiple articles at once
The UX of the iOS version is so different from the Android version. This app lacks a concept of tabs & having multiple articles opened at once; instead it has just a Reading List feature. If I’m doing a wiki walk and going down a rabbit hole, the lack of tabs makes the experience much more clunky.
Otherwise, the app is fully functional.

AI Will Ruin Wikipedia
I love Wikipedia and regularly fall down hours-long rabbit holes here learning more about the world. 404 media just reported a pause in Wikipedia’s trial of ai summaries at the top of some article pages on mobile. As an LLM research scientist for a company who’s all in on AI, I BEG you to shutter this program entirely. LLMs are not equipped to understand truth, citational practices, or nuanced conversations. LLMs are in direct opposition to everything Wikipedia stands for: verifiable fact, objective account, and rich contextual networks of reliable information. You will ruin Wikipedia. Unless you announce a complete reversal on this genuinely horrible idea, I will sadly never use it again.
2025-06-06
Unusable
Too may hijackers everywhere and site not working
2025-05-26
False information everywhere
The definitions of words have been deliberately changed, history revised and washed, blatant racism now exist everywhere in the articles. Maps of places completely inaccurate showing horrific biases. Wiki allows changes by just about anyone, having an education in the subject isn’t a requirement.
2025-05-05
The last bastion of online humanity
As every other website and app become plagued with ads and introduce subscription services or shove useless AI features down your throat, Wikipedia might be the only place where true humanity, not slop content or corporate shilling, is welcome and easy to access. The articles will never be perfect, of course, because every editor has their own biases that will always affect how they write on certain topics, but im so grateful this app exists. I'm going to make a donation along with leaving this review
2025-05-05
I really like it :)
I downloaded the app recently because my friends always joke about how often I use Wikipedia and I thought it would be funny to say I like it so much I even have the app. Then I realized I actually really like the app. The historical timelines and articles of the day are really cool, and I like being able to save articles. My only issue is really minor, I just wish there were collapsible sub sections like there are on the web version. You can navigate with the side menu, I just really like being able to collapse different sections lol

Website is superior
Random crashes and missing features. The website is the better option when editing.

The Ultimate Nonprofit
One of humanity’s finest achievements. A digital library that rivals Alexandria. Keep it free. Keep it free from ads. Keep it open for us.

WHY IS IT CRASHING IF I CLICK ON MORE THAN 5 EMBEDDED LINKS THAT Literally LINK TO OTHER WIKIS
PLEASE FIX THE APP KEEPS CRASHING when opening since last update!! I screenshot alot bc i have autism and i like my facts, i regularly have to delete screenshots bc it takes up my storage (i have 76,000 photos right now. 3/4 of then screenshots. So yeah. But im not doing anything wrong by screenshotting interesting facts).
Also. Please update because WIKI 100% MUST strengthen privacy options. I believe it is because of internal settings,
When you start going too far doen a “rabbit trail”, it suddenly crashes & WILL NOT REOPEN FOR DAYS AT A TIME… i donated much money for wikipedias cause to “stay online”. If this is the case, then why are you not able to keep your word on ensuring this app remains FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE?? Have we been double crossed? Was wikipedia bought out like every other seemingly “good” thing? If so, shame on you. If not- please fix these issues & GET FAR AWAY FROM THE CLOUD. It is compromised.
2025-04-16
My most used app
Simply put this is my most used and I use it to look up almost everything I am in question of. It’s also the only app I regularly donate to because it’s that worth it.
2025-04-15
The Best
I’ve been using Wikipedia since its inception. Back then bad people would edit articles with bad information making it unreliable. Over the years, the administration and moderation has become the standard which others should follow. I use this app several times a week to verify things, get details on things, or just for the pleasure of learning new things or getting more details on other things. I have been an annual donor for many years. 5/5
2025-04-13
This app
This app is the best! Thank you very much!

Bookmarking is confusing
So I tap the bookmark button. Should be pretty easy right? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it “fills in” and sometimes it does nothing. Sometimes it will bring up an Add to Reading List pop up that requires you to create and name a new reading list if one doesn’t exist. This is all inconsistent and doesn’t make sense. Why does that happen sometimes and sometimes not? Are there several features that conflict with each other? Sometimes tapping the button is unresponsive… like I wonder if it’s not registering unless tapping directly on the very thin outline of a bookmark icon. Kind of surprised this has been this way for so long, it’s so broken.

Where you go to find out who invented the phone or computer your using
I love Wikipedia. I always have. Since I was born in 1979, I remember being a kid and having a look everything up in “The Encyclopedia Brittanica” it was a huge collection of books from A-Z and they weren’t free. I guess I was a strange kid because I loved reading those books. Whey I got my first iPhone i was 30 and it was 2009. From that day forward I’ve used Wikipedia at least 6 days a week. I try to donate every year to help keep it ad free. Because I just love Wikipedia, I think it’s a lot of things…it’s a valuable resource, it’s “fast-knowledge”, it’s entertaining and useful.

Editor since the ‘beginning’
Wikipedia initially filled me with optimism about access to free encyclopedic information for anyone connected to the internet.
However, I've come to realize how a small, enthusiastic group can manipulate such a vital resource. Some contributors promote misleading information and adopt editorial stances that oppose conservative viewpoints.
This has led to a significant disappointment for me. I once held the belief that people share common values globally, but that perspective has shifted.
I've observed that when large groups of left-leaning individuals come together, discussions devolve into immature rants filled with crude language, targeting their opponents without leaving room for constructive dialogue. It’s disheartening to see such a lack of openness.
2025-03-18
Page Issues buried at bottom!?
“Page Issues” are really important for assessing accuracy—but the app buries them at absolute bottom, unlike the website, which puts issues at the very top where they belong. Why?? At least put some icon at the top to tap for more info if there's a page issue.

Recent update is poor
I use this app heavily for reading in my free time and have been disappointed by the recent update. Navigation is much slower and less responsive, and in articles with horizontal scrolling you can no longer swipe to go to the previous article. Also, adding the ability to swipe ‘forward’ like a browser would be useful.
2025-03-08
Chewed up cellular data
Wikipedia chewed up almost 3 GB of cell data looking at ONE ARTICLE!!!!!!!! Put me over the limit 1 week into the month!!!!!!!! Seems like if a video is in the article it gets loaded EVEN IF YOU DON'T PRESS PLAY!!!!!!!!!! THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO TURN THIS OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!
2025-03-07
I think there should be more accessible options to edit articles
It is great! But I was trying to add my dad to a list of people with my last name, and I couldn’t really figure it out. But I am so happy to see my relatives on there and this is a very nice website.

Daily use thoughts on v7.7.0
Wikipedia is my favorite website. I open the app probably every half hour or so whenever I have free time, and I donate monthly. I’ve always enjoyed the user experience through the app, I’ve thought it has been really well made, but a couple changes in v7.7.0 recently prompted me to give some feedback.
First thing, which has already been patched in the latest version, is how in version 7.7.0 I needed to select the search box after tapping the search icon to populate the field. I didn’t understand the change, as I don’t access my search history nearly as often as I search a new topic; maybe it was a bug, but I’m glad the change has been reverted.
Second thing: I am no longer able to swipe back an article while scrolling- the screen has to come to a dead stop in order to do so. I can see how this would be the preference of some users, so I guess it’s not the end of the world, but for me it’s just another extra step to arrest the motion of the screen before I can navigate where I’d like.
Finally, and this is only cosmetic, I have always appreciated the monochromatic look of the app and navigation bar. Now that the navigation bar items are blue, I realize how nice it was to have no color distractions on the screen while navigating. Again, for some people this might be a change for the better; either way it doesn’t break the experience, I think it’s mostly up to personal preference.
Just thought I’d give some feedback on the new update, I always have and still do enjoy the app very much and quite often. Thank you guys for all the work you put in to maintain the app and site!
2025-02-15
Excellent
While the mobile website is great, the app lets you save articles, see local pages, search multiple languages at once (if you enable it), and has a pretty interface. I would recommend using it if you read Wikipedia often
2025-02-13
Latest version requires extra click to search
This app has always been excellent, as is Wikipedia overall. Despite some negative reviews it’s certainly not biased and is exceptionally up to date and accurate. I’m dropping 1 star due to a recent update that has made search harder. I used to be able to click the search icon and star typing, but now I have to do that then click the field to type what I want to search for. Why add an extra step? Please fix this bug and I’ll revise to 5 stars.
2025-02-13
Tabs and lists
Brings back the tabs view! And don’t limit us on the number of lists we can make. Some of us are list-holics.
2025-02-13
Excellent, as always.
This app is a great way to read Wikipedia, save for some minor UI annoyances. I especially like the List feature for organizing articles, but it could use some better keyboard shortcuts and a revamped Table of Contents interface. Otherwise I have no complaints!
2025-02-13
Knowledgeable APP👍🏽
App keeps me up to date and inform on person-places and things 🤔

Check your information
I think you really may want to check vet or check your editors . They may want to check multiple sources before rushing to edit to see if it’s a rumor . Especially now when so much misinformation and opinions are being presented as factual . maybe add button or something that allows an entry to be challenged .

Propaganda and incomplete data
I tried to obtain information about the overall effect of hurricane Helene. Wikipedia never gave me any useful information, but they made sure I learned about all allegations of misinformation. This is political manure instead of actual information. This sort of open prejudice and far left propagandistic approach to “journalism” produce exactly what Wikipedia is: Wikipedia is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get and you can’t trust Wikipedia for accuracy or neutrality. Hence, I am unable to get ANY information that I actually want about hurricane Helene and instead get propaganda about “misinformation” and more propaganda about climate change and prior hurricanes. This product is so inferior that I would never contribute to it and consider anything. Wikipedia states as merrily possibly true and likely infected with left-wing propaganda.
2024-12-27
An app that gives you all the information for everything.
The Wikipedia app gives you access to all the information for free. The app has some really nice settings. E.G. Choosing the font, size, and color of text. Choosing which information that appears on the home page. Plus so much more that I’m not thinking of atm.
Wikipedia asks once a year for a donation of $2.75. If you, like myself, have found Wikipedia an invaluable resource then please give whatever size donation even if it’s just $1 or less. Everything helps keep this wonderful site and app from ever having ads or other unwelcome annoyances.

Dark mode is glitchy, app feels unmaintained
It feels like this app is no longer maintained and has gotten worse over time. A lot of Apple’s design guidelines are not followed making it harder to use. As an example, double tapping the Search tab (which has a nonstandard text label instead of the search icon) does not give you a search field at all, just opens the last article you searched for. The worst is that when you open the app in dark mode, it flashes back and forth between light and dark mode before finally settling on the correct mode. The Wikimedia foundation owes me some migraine meds for that. It’s a shame because the widgets were kind of nice when the photo and article of the day weren’t just blurred pictures of someone’s hair.
2024-10-11
Multiple bugs that have never been fixed
I use this app daily and heavily. There are at least two bugs that have persisted over multiple versions of the app and iPhone/iOS. The button at the bottom of an article to save that article to my reading list rarely works on the first try. It almost always takes multiple attempts to hit the right pixel and sometimes I have to kill and relaunch the app to get it to work. Background syncing of reading lists frequently fails too. I currently have two saved articles that simply will not sync over WiFi or cellular. I’ve reported these before yet they persist. Doesn’t anyone test software anymore?
2024-09-30
Why pay a subscription when the world is right here?
For years teachers have said don’t use Wikipedia for a source, but why not just to learn a bit more about the world?
So many new and “exciting “ apps try to convince you to subscribe for their daily updates on history and event while Wikipedia is still letting people use it for free! Of course you could contribute and help make sure it is free for others, but I gotta say, the daily updates and the front page they post is bar none the best for quick snippets or deep dives on random subjects
2024-08-13
ERROR FIXED by Delete/Reinstall
Love Wikipedia. Use both links from search-engine search and searches from app. Failure1): Links from search-engine went to wikipedia, but wikipedia did not show the correct results; it showed the last search I had done in the wikipedia app. Failure2): Searches in wikipedia app showed no results including easy and past searches: blank screen had message something like "no results found" message. Resetting phone did not correct it. Just deleted wikipedia app and reinstalled. All fixed. Happy again.

One of my All-Time FAVORITE Apps… but
Let me preface by saying I love Wikipedia. I use it multiple times a day, and I donate yearly when that time rolls around because I feel the world is better for it. However, the actual app has a few things that I would like to see implemented. For starters, I wish that one of the icons on the bottom of the screen was for switching tabs, much like on safari, because I often want to look at another article but not lose the article I’m currently reading. The other thing is I wish they didn’t remove the “continue reading” widget they used to have, so if closed, I could just click the widget to relaunch into the article. If it had these two features I would give them 5 stars and more money at the yearly donation time.
2024-05-02
It works
In the ancient days this app never worked good. But those days are long over. The app works exactly how I’d expect and want it to.
What’s a bummer is the widgets. While those work as you’d hope and want, they’ve always got something displayed I don’t care about and doesn’t pretain to me. For example, the Top Read widget; it’s displaying the proper articles that have been viewed the most, but the top articles almost always have something to do with sports or movies in India. For months I’ve been seeing things like India’s Cricket league or Indian Premier League, and adjacent articles constantly on the top. So India clearly likes to use Wiki to find out news information but then it tilts the widget away from ever displaying anything interesting.
The “featured article” widget also never displaying anything interesting and too will share things about India. Today is “Western Chalukya Empire”.
So that’s really weird. No locational settings suggest it’s making me look like I’m in India to produce these results exclusively for me, it’s just what the widgets are featuring and showing.

Too erudite for casual learning
As a person who looks to Wikipedia for casual learning, I feel like I probably represent a majority of users. I would turn to a textbook if I wanted to really study a subject to become an expert.
Too often I come across articles that are written based on the assumption that reader already has a college course “101” understanding of the subject. This impedes learning, it doesn’t enhance it.
I recently looked up “Terra preta” because I came across the word somewhere on the Web and wanted to know what it was. Immediately, in the first two paragraphs I encountered no less than 10 words that I not only didn’t know, but Oxford didn’t know them either! It took me an hour to get through those two paragraphs, until finally I uttered the two words that rhyme with bucket and decided I “didn’t want to learn about Terra Preta anyway.”
I am a financial supporter of Wikipedia because I love the concept. And I will continue to do so. But contributors shouldn’t be writing articles that are only useful to readers who already have a degree in the subject. For me, that is not what Wikipedia is here for.
2023-09-04
EXTREME ZOOM!!!!!!
There are lots of little things that annoy me but most have been fixed or are very minor
But this is a HUGE annoyance: the zoom function.
Any app or website I have ever used, I can double tap, and it zooms in a predictable, reasonable amount that I am used to. I want more? I’ll just pinch to zoom in further if needed
On this app, every single picture you double tap doesn’t just zoom in a little. Oh no, if I double tap to appreciate the details slightly more, it will start zooming in until I can see individual hairs, then dust particles, then molecules. These become atoms, and then electrons. At some point, I am convinced I am peering at the quantum foam underlying reality itself
Exaggerating slightly, but it actually is ridiculous. I ALWAYS have to zoom back out because of how insanely deep it ends up going. It entirely defeats the purpose of double tap zooming, a quick convenient one-handed slight zoom. PLEASE FIX THIS
Otherwise, no complaints, good app, thanks for your work. The homepage could be more “Wikipedia-ish” and less “social media-ish”, and also there should be a way to view old edits without scrolling all the way (basically impossible to view edits atm unless they are recent). But overall nice comfy app, thank you
2023-08-03
Wow it’s even worse than the UI Update to the Desktop Website
I will never understand why “mobile-optimized” or “mobile-first” means a terrible, unusable experience. I was hoping the app would have an easy way of selecting the Vector skin by default for Wikipedia pages—you know, the way the website used to normally look for the past 10 years before the terrible “mobile” update they rolled out. Currently the only way to view Wikipedia is to manually add ?useskin=vector to the end of ever url. What a pain. Or make an account, which I never had to and shouldn’t have to do. But gee, I didn’t know when I was better off! The app is so bad, with a fixed table of contents margin on the left third of the screen, it makes the website look good by comparison. No way to select what skin you want, in fact, you’re stuck between blinding white light mode or pitch black dark mode. Another typical disastrous design choice, Why can’t anybody make a neutral color that is easy on the eyes day or night anymore?
And don’t expect an easy way to read on a tablet/iPad. This version requires constant scrolling to read anything. Instantly deleted. Better off sticking with viewing pages in a web browser.

Finally dark mode baby! 😎
Wikipedia amazing as always but the app supports dark mode which means I won’t be blinded reading random articles at 4am in bed! In mobile safari the “reader mode” never quite worked on the website because although you can set it to be dark the accordion menus would never expand so I would be forced to read in bright mode. Today I randomly thought maybe they have a mobile app not expecting anything and what do you know, not only do they have a mobile app but it respects your app’s color setting so mine booted up in dark mode!

Love this! Easy to find Anything on Topics that You Need!
I find this to be very useful for learning about information you’re interested in and how easy it is for readers. The best approach to getting started in researching information without the hassle of going all over the place. This makes it easier for me to use anywhere else as well as home. I have always had trouble as a child with reading and navigation. I was dyslexic for most of my childhood. This has been the best way to navigate what you are looking for and saving information on your interests. Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this app available. Explore your world. Everything it is written in the main review section is accurate in all of its details.

A pervasive and systemic bias damages a great institution.
There is no other game in town, so yes, I have and use this app and consult Wikipedia multiple times a day. It is a monumental achievement that has added more to human knowledge than any hundred universities. However, it is transparently biased and dishonest. Wikipedia typically covers conservatives with hostility and skepticism. In contrast, it glosses over and minimizes much of the negative news related to liberal or left leaning persons or groups. Wikipedia purports to be neutral and that stated intention only makes the contrast with the actual encyclopedia all the more glaring. This is not Moscow 1960 and I should not be stuck reading Pravda or nothing. Please make a better attempt to appear neutral. We all have biases, myself included. Making a good faith effort to not lead with your biases would improve your credibility. Differentiate yourself from those politicized institutions that so many people, on the left or right, now wisely distrust.
2023-02-03
Far left
Don’t waste your time here, Wikipedia is quick to label conservatives as far right but won’t do the same to hippies like AOC which we all know she’s way far left but Wikipedia will never label her with that because they agree with her ideology. I had no idea Wikipedia was this far left and I made the mistake of giving them money when they contacted me begging for a dollar like homeless people do. Please don’t give these morons a dime they are not neutral they’re far left. This comes from a Mexican immigrant just in case they want to label me white supremacist. Now trying to post this review is nearly impossible unless I give them five stars

Invaluable for the Exceptionally Curious
As a retired person with ADHD, I’m always looking for new things to learn to keep myself from boredom. I read news from many sources, and I love how I can select a word or phrase and “Look up” everything from definitions to short descriptions and then full blown encyclopedia-like entries. But better than encyclopedia after going through Wikipedia’s process of development.
This wonderful, valuable FREE source shouldn’t be taken for granted. Be sure to donate if you can. I just did (again). Motivated by remembering the old days of NOT learning. No time for the library and no budget for Encyclopedias: A whole set of awkwardly heavy books, rapidly outdated, making their high price outrageous. Wikipedia is genius by comparison. I thank especially the creators but also the writers editors etc who keep this going.

A few suggestions
This is my go-to App for unbiased information on all types of things. That said, I think it could be better. All articles pertaining to nations and world regions should have a current map somewhere near the beginning of the article. This orients the reader and helps explain some content. I would also like a second map that shows the position of the country in relation to a larger area of the world: for example, a closer map of Qatar and a larger map of the middle east.
There are more pictures than there used to be, but beefing up photos and making sure they accurately depict the item being described.

5 stars, 1 suggestion
i love this app. i write fiction for a living, and i use wiki daily. whenever i'm looking for something to spark an idea, i just pull up the app and use the random article function. and if there's a part of my book that actually needs to be realistic, then this app is my favorite research tool. it's also my go-to for days when i really want to read something, but am too burnt out to wade through a book. instead of scrolling through social media when im bored, i scroll through this app :) i love the way things are set up. it's like bite-sized brain food, and it's easy to bookmark stuff for later, follow up on the references (!), etc.
one feature i would love to see: a random article widget for my home screen. there are already widgets for wiki's photo of the day, featured articles, and "on this day in history." it would be fun to have a widget that's set up like those, but for random articles.
that being said, it's super easy to pull up the app and find a random article within seconds. just thought a widget would be cool :-)

I Really Love The “Places” Function
Having a map that shows things nearby is like having a pirate map, where the treasure is unearthing countless fascinating articles about what’s nearby, as well as what’s far away. You will come across more neat and share-worthy info from all throughout recorded history by using the “Places” tab on a walk to the convenience store, your commute to school or work, or on your weekend trip to another city. Get to know the world you’re walking through. Learn what significant event happened exactly where you’re standing now. Have fun, and spread that knowledge.

Glitches within reading lists
I love going down the wikipedia rabbit hole, hence why I installed the app so I wouldn’t have to keep hundreds of internet tabs open. My one MAJOR complaint though is that the saved section and reading lists are an absolute mess. The lists glitch out and show the same articles multiple times, but only one will actually link off, or will mix multiples with a single article so it’s difficult to maneuver. They don’t update the number of articles within each lists so it also causes confusion when 5 multiples are listed. Overall, the lists feature is something I love but is a major headache to deal with. Love the app, but I have to give 3 stars because the features that make it different from the website don’t work correctly.
2022-08-29
love this app
i really do love this app and use it all the time. the map feature is new to me and absolutely amazing!! there are two things that i would love to get fixed. i use the ‘on this day’ widget pretty much daily and for some reason the most recent event isn’t visible and has to be pulled and held to read the line. when you go through the app it works fine but the widget is how i access it 99% of the time and i find it obnoxious. the other thing that would be SO cool is if there was a way to bookmark a spot within the middle of an article. bookmarking a whole page is one thing, but i read the history of countries a lot and those are huge pages. i end up struggling to find where i left off when i leave it and want to go back.
but yeah, other than the one widget glitch and my suggestion, this app is awesome. i love wikipedia. 💛

Bricked my phone
I’m a very frequent user of the app and of Wikipedia in general, so I’m very disappointed in my recent experience with the app. Recently it’s become increasingly laggy, and has an issue where if I’m listening to music/audio it can cause that audio to break up and crackle.
While that was annoying, it doesn’t compare to what happened this morning. As I opened the app, it froze at the loading screen. Upon trying to close the app, I realized that I couldn’t swipe out of it, nor could I open any other apps in any way. I couldn’t even shut off the phone because the power down menu wouldn’t show up. I ended up having to wait for the battery ran out for the phone to finally restart and go back to normal, at which point I could no longer justify keeping the app installed.
I love Wikipedia, and it’s a huge part of my day-to-day, so I’m very disappointed that the app would “hijack” my phone like that, to the point that it was literally unusable in any capacity.

Incredible
I’ve never learned so much from an app before. It combines Wikipedia’s enormous database of knowledge with an easy-to-use and slick GUI. Not only does it make for a quick and easy method of fetching information, it also makes for a great reading app to get yourself immersed in a long article. The map feature is amazing—it allows you to learn more about your surroundings than ever.
I simply cannot recommend downloading this app enough. It allows for unmitigated access to an enormous fountain of knowledge with a slick and dandy interface. I cannot state just how much I’ve learned from this, the accessibility and ease of use allows for hours of nonstop learning.
Definitely a great choice for anyone with a thirst for knowledge.

Amazing, endless information in only one app!
I’ve always been a huge supporter of what Wikipedia stands for - the endless amount of information that anybody can access in order to become better informed! When I found out all of this was translated into an app, I was joyous (as weird as that sounds lol). Now when I’m traveling, or eating, or seriously whenever I have free time, I just get on this app and start reading. It’s very easy to use (keep in mind that I am a reader, not an editor so I do not have an editor’s experience with this app). The interface is quite lovely, giving customization options in order to fit individual reading preferences. It really is a privilege to live in a society where information can be so accessible, especially thanks to Wikipedia who preaches the ethics of information being free and in anybody’s disposal. My immigrant mother who is still learning English appreciates the Spanish accessibility as well! It’s just an amazing app, and I would 100% recommend it to anybody. The world is at our fingertips, why not?

Fantastic app with one major glitch
First of all, I love this app. It is very professionally made. The UI is clean and intuitive. Links work how you’d expect them to, it’s easy to search, navigate through pages and find words within articles. But there is one major glitch that makes me extremely frustrated - editing documents. For some reason the cursor is virtually unusable when editing documents. It jumps around and sometimes just gets stuck in place making it impossible to set it where you want to begin typing. There are other problems with it that I won’t get into but really the only flaw of this app id the editing UI. This app would be absolutely PERFECT if that is fixed.
But if you don’t edit pages like I do, you’ll absolutely love this app! Think of all the FREE information you’re getting from this app. Truly mind-boggling the world that we live in.

Low data version of articles? Love Wikipedia overall!
There should be a low data version of articles, that only contain the bare text, no images, no change history or talk page for the article, etc. so that you can maybe access it when you’re on the edge of cell service. Or even just a setting in the Wikipedia app for if you’re just generally trying to save data that month.
Wikipedia is my sole and savior in these days of objective facts becoming controversial. Thank you to all the great work you do and being committed to making freely and easily accessible the entirety of human knowledge!
Also, a search widget so I can search for something directly on Wikipedia from my Home Screen would be nice. Thanks!

Doesn’t sync to icloud
You have to create an account to sync your data. I used it for years without doing that until I ran out of phone space and it dumped my app data and saved a backup of that image. Icloud doesn’t work with it at all. I managed to transfer it once while keeping two phones on at the same time. It’s really nice to drop your phone and get a new one, and the experienced is marred by downloading all your apps and find out they all worked fine but losing all your reading list and history from the wiki app. I want to be angry, but when I’m gone from this planet, I hope we relish in the fact that we left the desk messy and with our mind’s eye we could not uphold any memories or evidence of our research. Maybe my research doesn’t matter. Maybe confucius should have advised his disciples to burn all records instead of write them down. You get wikipedia. You figure it out.
2022-01-04
Fantastic , did you expect me to say something else?
Of course this is an improvement upon just using Wikipedia under safari. Looks better and works just as well. Has the added bonus of a dark mode as well. I don’t use it, but I know family who would love the daily photo widget.
Only problem is that there isn’t an app for the Mac. Granted, this doesn’t apply to the app on the phone and is very nit-picky, but it seems like it would be very easy to add and there is nothing to lose except a potential profit.

Few Glitches That Need Fixing (and Others)
The Wikipedia App isn’t glitchy to the point of annoyance, given the community’s dedication, but there’s enough notable glitches for me to compile a list that hinder my experience, minor or major.
- When looking though your lists of saved articles, visual duplicates of the exact same article may appear and are inaccessible yet confusing.
- A specific apostrophe (' on my device) result in the app crashing instantly.
- Somehow, an article you just pressed the save button to will not be saved immediately, or won’t be put into a specific list. (I have over 300+ articles saved on my device so I don’t know how often this may happen to other users.)
My only other suggestion is that visual symbols that appear on the top right of Wikipedia articles that designate said article’s status (like barnstars for featured status, green plus marks for particularly good articles, or colored locks to show the topic’s current potential controversy) appear on mobile devices as well, so as to emphasize the importance and trust in articles that stand out for quality.

Reading list bugged, fantastic otherwise
Longtime user and contributor to Wikipedia (it’s on of the greatest things on the internet). My only issue is that I habitually save articles to read later, and since I have downloaded the app, the list is littered with several duplicate links to pages I have saved, most of which the links don’t take you to the page, and instead act like dead buttons.
This app is flawless otherwise, but I find it hard to go through my saved list and keep my downloaded content to a minimum when it’s cluttered the way it is. Please fix.
Besides that’s, thank you all so much for your hard work of keeping this app so great and Wikipedia in general, an ad-free, extremely educational corner of our inter webs.

An invaluable tool
A lot of people don’t understand how important Wikipedia is. Some people don’t even know it isn’t supported by ads. The founder of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales I think his name is, could be a billionaire over night if he wanted to. He could sell out Wikipedia and have a huge payday, but he doesn’t. He doesn’t do that because he believes it is important to have an encyclopedia on the Internet that does not have any corporate bias.
Jimmy Wales is an important American historical figure. Wikipedia is an incredibly important and invaluable tool. I donate every year, and you should too.

Nice, but not quite the full Wikipedia
If you’re looking for convenience this is probably good enough, but sometimes you may not really get the full picture when using the mobile app as compared to the desktop browser view for a few reasons listed below:
For example, the side bar is much too large and does not auto-size for the content contained in it, so you can end up with far too much white space in the contents bar and no ability to adjust the split with the main window.
Also, you do not get the right-side quick facts info bar front and center by default that is super convenient on the desktop site for many articles that contain links, top info, and media (the developer responded and showed me where to enable a setting for this to auto-expand by default on every article: thank you!). But, I still prefer the location and view of the quick facts bar on the browser version, it just seems more consistent and familiar in a specific place.
Finally, support for charts and sheets is sometimes lacking compared to the desktop site, I look forward to more usability on this
It’s pretty close to a five star app, and I look forward to continued updates...

Such a great app. Wiki addiction ❤️
Wonderful to read any content on this app with so many useful features. While using this app I felt that it better than many other popular book apps because of it’s features and content.
There is ONE feature which certainly I am missing is making NOTES and FLASH CARD within the app. This feature doesn’t take much cost to implement but provide huge benefit to the users. It's a common feature not sure why it's still missing here. Please consider this feature to add ASAP in your future release of this app. Eagerly waiting for this. Seriously hard to save in google drive or in files. Thanks.

The mobile app, is somehow worse than the mobile site
After writing this, i will have deleted the app in favour of the website. This is for one reason: convenience, its way easier to find and go to a specific part of an article on the site rather then the app. Let’s use the page on, Visby Sweden as an example. On the website, when you scroll down below the general information, you get headers like: “etymology”, “history”, “climate”, and “infrastructure”, you can then tap on one or more of these things to open that/those specific section(s). On the app, you cannot do this. Let’s say i want to get to the “infrastructure” section, i now have to scroll down through the “etymology” through “climate” sections of the article just to get to the section I want to read. Why, why isn’t the app like the mobile version of the website?
I have checked the settings to see if this was something i had to turn on, I couldn’t find it, either i am missing something (if so deepest apologies) or this simple feature doesn’t exist.
Kindest regards - Fluffysheep

PLEASE ADD MENU BUTTON!
I love Wikipedia, I think it is a great resource and I find myself using it daily. But when I use this app and I end up going through ‘deep dives’ of going from article to article I eventually want to all the way back to the menu to look at my saved articles, the top read, etc. I don’t know of any other way to get back to the menu other than hitting the ‘back’ button in the top left over and over.
I therefore am issuing a call to action of adding a faster way to back out of all articles to the front menu. PLEASE this is the only thing wrong with this app and it bothers me every time I have to hit the back button 20+ times.

Cannot create account
I tried to create an account today. Then I received some strange message that account(s) created from my IP address is blocked by somebody or -thing named MaterialScientist due to “long term abuse”. I have no idea what or who that is or what you are talking about. There is no customer service contact and no other way to reach you. So I wrote this review.
I always feel that technology just like any corporation or entity is run by people who sometimes get a little overzealous perhaps feeling that they hold a lot of power due to their knowledge. So that being said, let’s try not abuse your power of knowing how to block people for false reasons because the 21st century has provided us the ability to control and play (power trip).
Basically ... have absolutely NO idea who MaterialScientist is ... thank God for small favors.
2019-06-26
Fantastic
In addition to being a magnificent way to read Wikipedia articles and learn, this is just a really well made app, the settings are easy to navigate and understand, the controls are intuitive, it offers features that most apps should have as standard, e.g. different color themes like white, sepia, dark, and even black, in-app text size settings so you don't have to change everything on your system, easy account setup. I wish more apps were like this, I'd pay money for this if I could, but instead I'll just make a donation to Wikipedia. Five stars, keep it up.
2019-06-21
Slow Loading Time
I don't understand why this app is always so slow to load articles (up to half a minute) when my iPhone' Safari and Chrome load them in seconds. It's also disappointing that you can't access the talk page on articles before editing them. I often just prefer to read a Wikipedia article in Safari and open Read Mode. That's really all this app is, "Read Mode for Wikipedia", except that Safari already has that covered.
I like that I can bookmark articles, but you can only save them to one list at a time. It would be better if we could add tags to saved articles, so that we can search and group them later using different criteria. For instance, the article on Albert Einstein could be found in all of the following lists instead of just one: #History #Science #Physics #Scientists #Biographies #20thCentury #Nobel
2019-03-03
Love this app but just needs a few tweaks.
I love the app. I use it daily. It’s got almost everything right but there’s a few things I’d like to see:
-Better image/map/language/etc rendering, particularly in dark mode, in which charts, maps, and interactive content often don’t appear properly.
-Main page access with a quick access solution instead of having to search for it and bookmark it. The Today feature is ok but I’m more of a fan of the at-a-glance version.
-WYSIWYG and/or as-you-read editor. Anymore I rarely wiki at my computer and am always on the app. I’m a member of the copyediting guild and editing as I read when I see a typo or something is really cumbersome on the app.
2019-02-11
No better (possibly worse) than safari browsing
Removed this app from my phone after a few weeks because it was unnecessary and cumbersome. Con: extracts you from safari browsing and into the app while surfing. When you’ve finished reading about the thing you went to look up, you can’t easily backtrack to the original page in safari without having to press an awkwardly placed button at the top left of the screen to exit the app. Con: automatically hides “quick facts” in an article that are usually summarized at the top of a page; so it’s much slower if you simply want to know facts like a person’s spouse, population of a city, etc. Pro: random article feature is easier to use than in safari.

Prejudicial reporting
For the most part I have looked to Wikipedia first when I want or need more information. However, the obvious prejudice shown in the disinformation about mercury and it’s use in dentistry is abhorrent and wrong. I am currently fighting mercury poisoning from dental amalgam fillings and it is horrendous. Apparently the ADA, the professional organization for the benefit and protection of dentists and their misconduct has influenced the writers.
In the discussion of the Gerson Therapy there were very blatant lies and misrepresentations. This Cancer Therapy is getting worldwide attention and being done in hospitals in other countries. Wikipedia stands with the corporate interests that prohibit curing cancer in this country because they make more money treating it and misinforming people about it. It’s shocking and disgraceful that you have sold your soul and compromised your integrity.

Miscellaneous Information Of All Sorts
This app provides information for almost every topic or idea in the world. The Wikipedia as we all know it. I do feel bad not being able to donate, but you should add a feature allowing even those that don’t pay to contribute. Rather than adding ads, (something I wouldn’t mind) perhaps you can make it the choice of the reader to set themselves a fixed amount of ads to view in compensation for funds sent to the Wikimedia organization. I would happily watch a reasonable amount of ads on both the app and site with ad banners to fun an excellent source of information. Although schools say otherwise, Wikipedia is very accurate, and excellent for basic preliminary research.

Well what was the point of downloading.
I downloaded Wikipedia as soon as I realized there was an app, I used to love just learning new things in school by scrolling through random articles on this site. After so long without using it I wanted to try it out, maybe even eventually contribute. However on trying to make an account, I received a message in app telling me my IP address was blocked for vandalism by a another user.
Not only have I never had an account on Wikipedia. This phone is three months old, my router is new, my computer is new. So how would my IP address even be blocked for something? Again, I haven’t used this site in years, simply haven’t had a need to. Much less to vandalize. Seriously?
Wikipedia seems to like the image that they are in constant risk of bankruptcy. Maybe if you weren’t banning people before they even stepped foot on your site it wouldn’t be an issue. What a disappointment.
2018-04-11
Very Liberal
I had heard Wikipedia was a very liberal “facts and information” site, but I didn’t believe it until I looked up Donald Trumps Wiki bio. Statements like: “His campaign received extensive free media coverage; many of his public statements were controversial or false.” , and “His election and policies sparked numerous protests”. I know there may have been a few protests after his election, but it just struck me how negative most of the information about Donald Trump was. I thought that was interesting, until I looked at the list of revisions that had been made, and the statements that had been part of Donald Trumps biography that had been deleted or replaced. Just stupid stuff. Not factual at all. Like a kid filled with hate was allowed to be the editor. Nothing but an attempt at defamation of character. I expected more from Wikipedia as a professional, public information site. Very disappointed.

A must for international travelers
Confession: I’m one of those guys who always has at least 10 Wikipedia tabs open on my web-browser. The kind of guy who pulls up the sight to look up one thing, but who then goes down an endless rabbit-hole of connected links until 2 hours later I’m still reading and now have 27 extra tabs open of “thinks I want to know more about next.”
So you can imagine how difficult it has been resisting my addiction while traveling in regions where my data is tightly limited.
And then suddenly: Wikipedia app to the rescue!
Seriously, the ability to download articles for later reading while on WiFi, and then pull them up easily wherever I am, regardless of connectivity— that has been a huge help to me. And not only just to help me sate my thirst for knowledge. If I’m going to be traveling through several cities in a short period of time, it’s been super helpful to have articles about those cities and a handful of related articles saved, so that I can browse them during the train/plane ride — without burning through my data!
Thank you Wikipedia.
2017-12-10
Excellent
Used for years and the information I receive is very useful and accurate. It is where other servers have learned to direct me. I use it daily now and gradually got here since 1996. The critiques are already accomplished by many others over the decades and I mostly agree. Except I have noticed that too many non critical thinkers do not have much experience, but discount the encyclopedia outright as “teachers” not recommending the site to “students”.
Since I have been given gifts of critical thinking from my parents and siblings and experience, and reviewing data, it is almost always a direction I would take that if someone said not to do XYZ .. and especially, in this case, not to read or use such, it is precisely where I would go to start a search.
Happily I am.

Wikipedia app is very good. I like it!
This app is really good! This app is really good like source of information if you know what you need/want or at least about what you need/want to know. It’s not app where you can go to home page and see interesting article. You need to search article which you need so you need to know its name.
It is not a news app, yes it has a news section, but there are not much news and it is very difficult to find news on a particular topic in which you are interested, for example, there you can filter news by country but results will be really bad. It is not news app, but it’s good source of information.
This app also like the website supports many languages. It’s an international app. Full list of supported languages you can find in the app description.
But some people say that Wikipedia is not accurate source of information. Partially I agree with this statement because anyone can edit or create an article in Wikipedia, so for scientists this source is not good.
Also in different languages this app has different articles with a little bit different information.
OK, let’s summarize, this app is the best in its class of apps where you can find information about different topics.
In my opinion Wikipedia app is very good.
I like it!
