45 Positive User Reviews for Wikipedia

Amazing resource, widget issues

The picture of the day stopped working on my home screen fairly recently, unfortunately. I hope they can sort it out! Otherwise 10/10

Recommendation

Tabs are amazing for work, though I think it can keep the typical look of Wiki among structure of apple new design system; maybe. Thanks.

App Glitching

The app has been glitching lately. Please fix this!!!

Did you guys slip a crypto miner in here?

Phone gets uncomfortably hot when using the app. Literally have to open TikTok for a bit to let it cool down.

Err sexual content AND IT IS FOR OLD KIDS?!

they show penises and stuff plz make Wikipedia kids

Great app for the world’s best website

Enter the depths of Wikipedia!

Knowledge should free

Take a moment and ask yourself why knowledge shouldn’t be free? Wikipedia is a fantastic, reliable reference. Long live free and open knowledge.

The Truth

Nothing is perfect in the world 🌎 But could you imagine a world without Wikipedia….

Great for info, but is missing some features

The only reason this isn't five stars, is because you can't edit articles on mobile devices.

My personal Encyclopedia Online

I’ve been using this app for almost 10 years I believe if I dont forget. It’s very helpul and useful for everyday because I’m always curious. Answer are accurate and very organize. And adding my own language is a plus. Thank you wikipeds.

Worth paying for but still free

If every user of Wikipedia gave five dollars a year, they would not struggle for money.

Facts Valued Above Political Opinion

Wikipedia is a trusted source that balances the opinions of experts and eyewitnesses—with no room for political self-interest. Just as things should be.

👍 Clean, Smooth & Organized

The reading is light, for even the complete heaviest subjects!

As it should be

Wikipedia is the soul of the internet. More important than Google for myself, I feel this app is the aspiration of what the collective sum of all information should be. In a world bogged down with opinion, an open, fact-based source to begin fact checking and further study is invaluable to us all.

Good app. Could be better

The app's navigation is good and simple. There is an annoying glitch that happens sometimes if I look around and click links for some time. I would enjoy the app better if it was redesigned for tablets by applying the desktop view. For phones, I would also like it better redesigned to better fit a desktop/mobile view whenever the phone is horizontal or vertical. I would also like the Visual Editor in the app if possible.

Rad

The Wikipedia iOS app is the reason I donate

Inverts pictures

For some reason when there’s pictures in a article they are inverted

Perfecto!

Hey, I’m someone with a severe serious Traumatic Brain Injury (don’t try to disparage me and my knowledge, or what’s been taken from me on that awful awful day) So I’m just going to say that..I love this app. Heh, I always use it whenever I NEED to know the information on someone and I’m HOPING that this app has TRUE information to share, that would help in any/some way(!) ( PS - the subject of this rating isn’t about cigars haha, I just mean “perfect!” lol)

Great app for learning

This app is really great for searching and learning things.

Craqdi Review of Wikipedia and Wikimedia Foundation

La App cómo tal está bien pero falta mucho contenido por añadir cómo más biografías de artistas etc

The best information app I’ve ever seen!

Wikipedia has so much information then you can read for hours! this app is so amazing!

Overall very good

One suggestion: We can swipe right to go back. Why can’t we swipe left to go forward?

Wonderful app

This app is pretty great for readers—I do little to no editing, so I cannot speak to those aspects. I love the reading lists, and as someone who often wakes up in the middle of the night and reads a bit before heading back for zzz’s, I really enjoy the randomizer button and being able to go through the articles with the back button or the history.

希望推出内容离线的功能

Annoyed with myself for not installing it sooner

It’s a much better experience than the mobile browser version. Its written in swift so the UI feels clean and natural for an iOS user. That’s something that a lot of apps haven’t figured out yet but somehow this free, open source app did. Kudos to the great dev community that built this!

The Only Source for Information

Perfect for reading Wikipedia. Clean and precise. Don’t forget to donate, as there is no free lunch. You don’t want advertisements!

Always Five Stars

Wish I had five million dollars. I would donate some of it. Thanks for one of the very best apps I have on my iPhone! And thanks for all your hard work.

I’m pleased

Apps okay for one reference to make a good all together picture.

Its just ok

I used to enjoy reading the "This Day in History" feed, but it seems to have become more selective in content recently. Not really impressed anymore, as I notice many historical facts are ignored. The app itself can be a little buggy at times too. Overall, it is just ok.

My Wiki-Go-To App

The Wikipedia app, iPhone version, and the web version(s) are comprehensive reliable knowledge resources, matched only to the hardcopy versions of Encyclopedia Brittanica and the like - found only in university libraries, public libraries, and collections of the wealthy. It is Reliable, Quotable, and superbly Interactive, it … “Doesn’t get much better than that…” I borrowed this quote but it fits Wiki and the staff of writers and contributors behind its value. M.S.

Deleted History Issue

It’s a great app & it is easy to use but I have one issue, It automatically deleted my history except for my saved articles. This is the second or third time it has done that after a person of time. I wanted to look at those articles etc. Now they got deleted. Can you fixed this problem?.

Keeping the growth real

I can say that this app is so helpful in many ways, especially if you are a fanatic about knowing the facts of information.

I love it everyone should support it’s worth it!

Gots everything we need to know about everything! We are so lucky to have knowledge on the palm of our hands. Thank you!

Great app. Clean interface

I appreciate the reading controls to make it more comfortable for the eyes. I still have the issue with playing media files within articles but it’s not a huge issue. Usually just thing to play an audio recording since I do a lot of bird research and it would be nice to be able to hear the bird when they provide the audio sample. I don’t let it bother me since I can use other apps to do that. Overall I give a solid 4 stars for its ease of use and logical control layout and it is very stable.

Decent Wikipedia viewer

Alas, no feature parity with Android; missing (super-useful) multiple article tabs. (:-( Points, OTOH, for shake to undo typing.

Who’s allowed to edit articles?

I love and support Wikipedia but have questions about who is allowed to edit articles. First time I’ve really questioned this but found a disparaging article that I found to be untrue due to edits by an unknown person. Who gets to edit articles about specific people? LIVE people?

2 problems

Can’t save pictures and can’t collapse sections. Makes pages very difficult to navigate

WOW

with a website built for being used on the web. It’s impressive that they’ve made it such a good app. most websites can’t compare. Well Done, Wikipedia.

Education is Key

This is one of the very finest forms of free to people sources anywhere. Thank you

Happy Customer

Look the ease of use and access to the website,info,etc. Like the ability to add stuff to site. A lot of info.THANKS

Wiki

Wish they had tabs like they do on the Android version

4 Negative User Reviews for Wikipedia

Search history now shows when I open app

I do not know why my viewing history now shows when I open the app but I do not like it. Please give me the option to opt out of this.

Fewer features, worse functionality than Android

I read Wikipedia articles frequently, near daily. It used to be absolutely daily, but then I switched from Android to iPhone. The iOS version of the app is just not as good. The Android app applies for tabs, so you can have multiple articles open at once. The Android app also remembers the spot that you left off at, which the iOS app does inconsistently at best. I think that I wouldn’t dislike the app as much if I didn’t know how much better the Android version is, but I wouldn’t read the arti

Poorly designed

Not even close to its android counterpart. You can’t look at more than one article at a time. You can’t open a hyperlink in a new window. I am dumbfounded how impractical this is made. But after all, it’s apple, it’s impractical.

Side scrolling glitch

The app side scrolls like it’s a poorly rendered mobile site
