Wikipedia App Reviews

As of today, there is a page search. Now this becomes avery nice app.

Really great app. Good sync with the browser. Works seamlessly...

All of a sudden, the app stopped working and cant hit it via chrome or safari in the browser. It looks like the issue only occurs when Im connected to wifi.

Beautiful app

The Wikipedia app is great access to WP. I love the search, formatting and minimal editing capability. But the current version (5.1.1) dropped the very useful gesture to call the article directory index with swipe-from-right. Instead there is a button at bottom-LEFT! Go ahead and keep the button for lefties, but unless Apple disallowed it please restore the swipe gesture. Its essential especially on large screen phones but I like it on my 5s.

I constantly refer to Wikipedia for questions regarding everything. As a child I owned a set of World Book Encyclopedia© and was always looking up things that I desired more knowledge about. In todays age of the Internet and both information as well as mis-information I find that I can depend on the information, external links provided by Wikipedia, and many times am provided with illustrations that are top notch. With Wikipedia and its constantly updated data Im no longer that child searching through an entire stack of encyclopedias. I appreciate the content added by its users that many times goes further than just an article answering a question. To the forward thinking inventors and hardworking staff of Wikipedia, I offer my many thanks! Wikipedia works hard answering many difficult questions and provides complete information for users at lightening speed and top notch accuracy. I never want to be without it!

Refuses to download. App tried to update and never updated so naturally I deleted it so I could redownload it and now it will not even download. Whats the point? Why cant I have Wikipedia? What changed? I assume theyre working on this but Coke on people and come on peple. And come on people.

I love having access to all this great info on my phone!

I really have no need to have a bunch of vaguely related articles shoved at me EVERY TIME I search something (which I then have to delete from my history in two places to force you to STOP suggesting more). This whole trend in every app of suggesting things your computer algorithm thinks I might be interested in needs to stop. I have a brain. I can find what I want to read by myself. Also, why are a bunch of TV networks the top read articles every single day? Really? All this is telling me is that your data is off.

Wikipedia is my favorite app to use to look up information. PLEASE bring back the feature where you can swipe to the left & see a table of contents to jump to different sections within the article. It was such a useful feature.

I love Wikipedia. I probably use it more than I do any other site. However this official app quite frankly stinks. The entire point of an app for website is to make it more seamless and less clunky than just going to the website on a web browser. However this does the exact opposite. The pages are formatted wrong. The The information bars on the bottom disappear. The images are placed wrong and sometimes cut off halfway. This app just needs serious work.

Makes the information easy to read on a mobile device.

Its blank on widget of Top Read On Wikipedia in iOS 10. What happened?

I want to see simplified Chinese not traditional Chinese but theres no way to tweak it.

This the most useful App I have. I use it several times a day!

I love using this app when I need to find something out, and also when I just want to learn about something new. Please make sure that all update remain accessible for those of us using voice over. Cheers!

I have been using Wikipedia as a resource for years and have always loved it. Unfortunately it seems that the last few updates that I have received seem to have taken the application backwards in its efficiency and prolificness. I find myself turning to Google search far more often and is dead on Wikipedia. Its a real disappointment!

App makes all the info on the site elegantly reachable. Much prefer it to general browser.

Im not sure of the functionality of the app itself but I do love having an online encyclopedia at my fingertips

* Update * Improving all the time. Current bugs are the 2 widgets dont seem to work. They are: top read, where you left off.
