Any fact, anywhere This is a great application. In my Samsung Galaxy 2 7.0, it runs well with 6.5gb wikipedia, giving me instant access to the equal of a few hundred volume encyclapedia set. If as a child you liked reading encyclopedias from cover to cover, like most normal kids, you will love this. Perhaps the reflow could be tweaked a bit, as linked pages come in formatted wider than the screen. I want this--with pics.

better than the wikipedia-only readers Wow, Aard is much better than the two wikipedia-specific offline readers I've tried. It's more stable, more accurate in its conversion of the wikipedia articles, and has more recent data. Unlike the others, it looks like wikipedia online. The only downside is the large data-file size (almost 9GB for the English Wikipedia).

Fantastic Fast, well formatted and a pleasure to use. I wish there was someway to browse the dictionaries without needing a search string.

Best Offline-Wiki-App Full Wikipedia (eng) needs 10gb off sd-space. Searching in the whole dictionary works superfast. Also math-formulas get shown right with this app. Thanks for this great app!
★★☆☆☆

Waste Its a waste application
★★☆☆☆
Windows Converter tool 1. Where is it? 2. Add categories, for wikipedia. otherwise, old database... Edit: thanks, but don't think it's easy for us, to make a windows converter, also, why not add categories? Wiki taxi is good with this, it has the 2 options available.
★★☆☆☆
Very poor work done The app is very, very poor in options and features. Cannot be compared to GoldenDict.
