Comments on World History Encyclopedia for Android
★★★★★Fernando Eduardo· May 29, 2026
Hello! Your articles are excellent and very high quality. I really enjoy reading World History Encyclopedia. I would like to suggest adding Portuguese to the new app. The website already has many articles translated into Portuguese, so it would be amazing to have this language available in the app too. Many Brazilians and Portuguese-speaking users would appreciate it. Thank you for your great work!

Making some history apps myself but nothing will ever top the WHE!!! Very easy to use and always plenty of interesting things to learn about :)

I've been a supporter of World History Encyclopedia for a few years now, and I love their content - trustworthy factual articles on a wide range of historical topics, written in a style that anyone can understand. The Save for Later feature of the app is my favorite, when I'm browsing articles I can save them and read later.

I've loved and trusted the website since I was an undergrad majoring in History, but the app so far isn't doing the trick. Whenever I've gone into the app so far, I'm given a "No Connection: Online Content could not be loaded. Please check your connection and try again." message. I've hit the Retry button multiple times and nothing loads. I can't even search anything by term or title on the search bar; it always gives me the same result. I've updated the app and still, nothing worked.
