★★★★★ L Ell · Oct 14, 2026
Information at hand is key to awareness. I love this app, and I highly recommend it. I've been using Wikipedia for generations now and will continue to promote this app and its creators for as long as it exists. Thank you all kindly.
★★★★★ nyaichinisan · Oct 27, 2026
I'm one of those kids who grew up reading encyclopedias because I didn't have story books. I love Wikipedia and this app is amazing. Very smooth experience. Totally recommend if you browse Wikipedia often!!
★☆☆☆☆ Viv Blagden · Oct 5, 2026
I have never uninstalled an app so fast as I removed this. This is an abomination. Wikipedia web browser version is the best thing on the internet precisely because it is not trying to be this app. I don't want to be profiled! I don't want a curated experience! I want to see what everyone else sees. If you despise social media, you will hate this with a rare passion.
★★☆☆☆ Joe Busnengo · Oct 11, 2026
The UI is a mixed bag. A recent update has removed the search bar from the home screen, which is very frustrating. Tables that are wider than the screen are also really hard to view. When swiping to the left to scroll, it frequently opens the menu instead.
★☆☆☆☆ Prince Joe Music RSA · Oct 25, 2026
L won't forget the day when l wrote an article about Prince Joe music RSA and this platform "moderators" disapproved it & blocked me, like my question is what do they gain from all this, it's better l gave it 1 star l should have given it -4 stars
