Description by Michael Oltman Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

See and hear every edit to Wikipedia, as it happens. Each change appears as an animated bubble — sized by the magnitude of the edit — while a musical note plays in real time. Larger edits produce deeper notes; smaller edits ring higher.

Colors tell the story of who's editing: white circles for registered users, green for anonymous contributors, and purple for bots. Lighter bubbles mark additions to articles; darker ones signal deletions. When a new user joins Wikipedia, a warm pad swells and a blue banner appears to welcome them.

Tap any bubble to see the article title, then tap again to open it in your browser. Tap a new-user banner to visit their talk page and say hello.

Customize the sound to your taste. Choose from over a hundred instruments for additions, deletions, and new-user events. Pick a musical scale — pentatonic or heptatonic — in any of 12 keys and multiple modes. Adjust the root octave and range to shape the melody that Wikipedia writes.

Supports 32 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, and many more.

Based on Listen to Wikipedia by Hatnote (listen.hatnote.com). Developed by Bryan Oltman (bryanoltman.com).
