Reviews for Wikipedia

For more than 6 months every single article that I open has the previous article's picture at the top. it's not looking great that they still haven't fixed this.

I have been using Wikipedia since my elementary 🏫 days and more recently (almost two yrs now) the mobile app. I just wanted to say thank you! Issue: Fix the 'contents' drawer so that it can be closed by swiping!

good stuff mostly . but don't go down any rabbit holes, don't be me, don't lose sleep over virtual particles and uncertainty in historical accounts, don't embrace the madness of lists like "airplane crashes with a sole survivor"..... or do. it is fun to read

made the capcha easier. because it's worse and can't even log in, it causes the problem while log in , it's worse.please fix it as fast as possible. because I can't study better because of it

Great app! Multiple languages and lots of information, but I think it works best in the browser, as it can translate texts from virtually any language.

I love the app. Wish there was a way to see top 5 headlines of each country (region) of choosing based on latest trends or priority (urgency like weather alarms etc.) Thanks for the app.

It's Wikipedia, so it's great, but can someone explain why the pictures and illustrations have to be dimmed so dark, you can barely see them while the app is in dark mode? That shouldn't apply to the pictures, just the background and text...

I just updated to the new version. It has new game and all, but the share button is still bugged :(( When I pressed the share button, the share popup appeares but only a second before it closed itself and returned to the main wiki page. Please fix this issue because I love to share wiki articles to the world with my social media 😭

Wikipedia is an excellent project, but viewing Wikipedia articles in browser remains far, far better with no advantages to using the app that I can think of. There are disadvantages though: Images, for instance, have a low maximum resolution in the app - you will not be able to read anything on a map or in a scientific plot or see any details on larger images. The index on the right side is often too sensitive. There does not seem to be a way to view Wikipedia categories in the app.

For some reason, the menus in my app are defaulting to French. I have both English and French running on my phone, but English is the default. App is set to English only in phone settings, and within the app's language settings itself. Cleared cache, storage, and reinstalled. Menus are ALWAYS in French (despite articles and everything else being in English). Buggy and annoying. Going through the reviews shows I'm not the only one who has an app in the wrong language. Better off using the website

I've got those infos with best resoluted photos I can't even imagine. The historical dates and records are clearly mentioned but still 5 as it has the best accent with mostly all languages and everything, every record world wide. so it's like the best encyclopedia a historian, teacher and a seeker should be advised to get.

Main use is if I have my brwser blocked for productivity reasons.Also, editing is much more comfortable, and I can get notifs for that. Saved list feature seemngly not connected to browser tho. The web browser is still the "canonical" form, esp with rare characters and large tables (for the linguistics nerds). Navigating large tables is difficult because there is no way afaict to disable the swipe to open table of contents. Collapsible sections is handled well

Mostly good but it messes up when I try to open a link from Firefox in the app, like it will display the wrong image and if I refresh it it will go to an entirely different page, which is very frustrating. Also I really don't get the 100 tab limit at all but if that has to exist it would be *very* nice to have a setting to close tabs after x days or some other way to keep them under control.

Wiki app. does provide more tools to view download articles , post , and some are more elaborated. It does need some improvements .Some articles through the app. dosen't always seem to have the same information format , and may be missing current info .It needs to have the option on the prompt to either open the articles online directly or to use the app. It only asks on the popup when searching articles in the browser , under wiki ( cancel or open with wiki app. )

It has little to no bugs, it is also user friendly, and most importantly it does what it's supposed to do, which is displaying Wikipedia pages (and it doesn't just slightly modify the HTML like other apps do making you feel like you're just using a browser - mind you some apps do that poorly as well). It ACTUALLY displays the articles, and they look great as well. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Great app if you like to do research often. I've always used Wiki as a "jump-of" point for learning about something. If the facts need to be verified, I've already got the information to confirm, and very seldom have I been mislead. Usually it gives me a good starting point for continued reach whether online or at a library. If you like Wikipedia and use it frequently, or just like a quick reference for whatever, this app is much more convenient then using my browser every time. Light, simple

My favorite app by far. I use the Wikipedia mobile app more than any other, perhaps second only to my browser. My only suggestion is to add a way to search your Lists in the dialog, as I have so many that I have to scroll quite a bit to find the right one sometimes. It'd also be nice if it was possible to access the Lists menu from the Explore/New Tab page.

EDIT: The issue below is no longer happening, and the app runs great! This app is usually fantastic, and I'll happily increase my rating to a five if a recent issue is resolved. Since the most recent update, the app repeatedly says that it isn't responding when it's working just fine, and it won't stop until I quit out. Even if I go to my home screen or open another program, the error message just keeps coming.

Love the app! Honestly, I probably am using Wikipedia more than my web browser or reading articles from Google. Only one small issue I found: when in dark mode, the captions under images is a dark gray instead of the white like the rest of the article text. This makes it virtually impossible to see. Doesn't matter what article, if there's an in-line image, there's a barely readable, gray caption underneath if.

This is such a great, well made app. It's probably my favorite app on my phone right now. You can create reading lists of different subjects and they are available offline. Furthermore, when reading an article and clicking on a highlighted word it gives a summary overlay popup that doesn't pull you away from the current article, however you can go to the full article if you desire to. This app and wikipedia in general are one of the silver linings of the attrocious noise the internet and apps have become.
