Wikipedia

Editor's Review

Dive into the world of knowledge with the official Wikipedia app! 🌐 This is your gateway to over 40 million articles in more than 300 languages, all available right on your mobile device. And the best part? It's completely free and ad-free, forever! 🎉

Imagine having access to the world’s largest encyclopedia at your fingertips, no matter where you are. Whether you're commuting, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, the Wikipedia app ensures that you can explore any topic that piques your interest. 📚

One of the things that sets this app apart is its commitment to being open and free. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and the app code is 100% open source. This means you're not just using an app; you're participating in a global community dedicated to providing unlimited access to free, reliable, and neutral information. 🤝

Forget about annoying ads! 🚫 Wikipedia is a place for learning, not advertising. This app is brought to you by the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization, ensuring that your pursuit of knowledge is never interrupted by pesky ads or data tracking. Your privacy and focus are their top priorities. 🛡️

With the Wikipedia app, you can read in your preferred language, making it easier than ever to access information in a way that's comfortable for you. Set your preferred languages and switch between them effortlessly while browsing or reading. 🗣️

One of the coolest features is the ability to save your favorite articles and read them offline with "My lists." 💾 This is perfect for those times when you know you'll be without internet access but still want to catch up on your reading. Plus, your saved articles and reading lists are synced across all your devices, so you can pick up right where you left off. 📱💻

The app also pays close attention to detail, offering a beautiful and distraction-free interface that lets you focus on what matters most: reading. 👓 With text size adjustment and themes like pure black, dark, sepia, or light, you can customize your reading experience to suit your preferences. Whether you're a night owl or prefer bright, sunny reading, the Wikipedia app has you covered. 🌙☀️

Broaden your horizons with the customizable "Explore" feed, which brings you recommended Wikipedia content, including current events, popular articles, captivating photos, historical events, and suggested articles based on your reading history. 🔭

Finding what you're looking for is a breeze with the app's quick search functionality. Search within articles or use the search bar at the top of the app. You can even search using your favorite emojis or voice-enabled search! 🔎🎤
