Honestly, I love this app! But the non-Play Store versions (IzzyOnDroid/GitHub) are problematic. They crash constantly and require both full file and network access, which is a security risk. I also lost 50 GB of data as the UI doesn't warn that deletion is physical. Other cons: no dark theme (ZIM-dependent) and slow ZIM management. I'll definitely keep using it due to unstable power and internet in my city; Wikipedia is the best part. Anyway, great job!

Very good app. God bless everyone who have developed this app. Making knowledge accessible is the noblest cause.
★★★★★Lucas Badal· Oct 8, 2026
Download libraries, discover new passions, get lost in books you never would have touched otherwise.
★★★★★Richard Stincer· May 7, 2026
This is very good or excellent as it can search and return results and content while off-grid for the Wikipedia Simple English Long Version Text Without Images. For the Stack Exchange Life Hacks, it is searchable by keywords only, but when I first installed it, I could search with a phrase of words. To be even more impressive, this Kiwix app should have Wiki How available and operating off-grid.

This was once a great app, but search no longer works at all. Without search this app is useless.

You should categorize contents to decrease time-consuming on exploring download list
