## Listen to Wikipedia Description
See and hear every change to every article on Wikipedia in real-time. Bells are sounded for additions and strings are plucked for subtractions. The pitch changes with the size of the edit – the larger the edit, the deeper the note. Green circles show edits from unregistered contributors, and purple circles mark edits performed by automated bots. Orchestral swells and a blue banner welcome new editors.

The app has support for English, German, Spanish, Swedish, Russian, and 27 other languages. 

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

## Listen to Wikipedia Reviews in United States

### ***** "Thank you!"
Thanks for maintaining your classic app. I thought it was mothballed, and was pleasantly surprised to find you updated it. I really like how you reflect changes in Wikipedia with tones. Happy holidays!
-- Roi-Namur, 2022-12-23

### ****- "Long time user"
I found this program online back in 2012-13ish, and still have it bookmarked but the app is such a great thing!! There are a few thing that are a little wonky, but I still love this app and use it a few times a week. It’s a great tool for when I’m writing papers, great ‘flow-state’ sound.
-- ActuallyPotter, 2021-11-26

### ****- "Lovely but no longer compatible"
It's like listening to a wind chime, interesting and abstract. I hope the developer can update it to work on ios 14 & 15.
-- her pegship, 2021-09-26

### *---- "No longer works"
IPadOS 14.5.1  will no longer start this app.  In fact I think it has been deleted.  When you try to open it from the App Store you get a message that the app is incompatible with the current version of the OS and needs to be updated by its maker.  In fact it has been warning me about this for awhile, I just didn’t know which update was going to kill it.  So sad!  I was just about to show it to someone too.  Please update!  Thanks!
-- cheeriness, 2021-05-15

### ***** "Calming"
This is incredibly calming to have on my headphones while filtering out other noises. The sound is not quite as pleasant as it was when you could stream it through your Internet browser, but that function no longer works. This is a good replacement for now. I turned all of the languages on so that I would get a more vibrant stream of sounds. I would pay for this. It keeps me sane.
-- Apple-Pear-2020, 2020-04-16

### *---- "Nothing like the web version"
When listening to the side by side to the website the instruments in the app sound like a smaller instrument with a higher pitch and less length to the note. Short, quick, pitchy, sporadic and clustered is the best way to describe it.
-- Vuel987, 2019-07-28

### ****- "Great, but"
don’t use this to fall asleep to if you use your phone’s alarm to wake up. Your alarm won’t make sound. Good for background noise during the day though.
-- Lanie J., 2019-01-22

### ***** "COOL! support Korean language please."
The app is cool, but I will thank you if you add korean in language list.
-- :.7h, 2018-09-17

### *---- "No sound"
Could not get sound out of the app and was pulling my hair out trying to understand why.  Then I realized the ringer volume toggle switch was off. I always keep it off as I make my phone vibrate for calls and no other app has problems playing music or sound with the switch in that position. This needs to be fixed.  
Also, the bells sound much more jarring (high pitched?) for some reason than the web based version.
-- RobP1957, 2017-07-15

### ***-- "Very cool"
Very cool app based on a very cool concept. Would be nice if it worked from the background or lock screen as well though. Not everyone keeps their phone plugged in and leaving the screen on can drain battery pretty quick.
-- SaintPatience, 2017-05-23

### **--- "Web version is more soothing"
I ADORE the concept of hatnote wikipedia but the app is not soothing as the web version and I'd love it if it kept playing when my phone goes to sleep.
-- Jkmewright, 2016-10-05

### ****- "Great but could use tweaks"
I experienced the same higher pitch from the desktop version that others are reporting. Also I found that if I have my phone in vibrate mode (not silent!) the music doesn't play, where other apps still do and that's pretty annoying.
-- Enthused citizen, 2016-05-22

### ***** "Serenity"
Such a relaxing app, and if you turn on edits for every language, it can really be a relaxing and moving experience!
-- awesomegirl2015, 2016-04-20

### ***** "Incredible!!!"
The best use of what has evolved into our non-stop internet information consumption ... A MUST download!!!
-- Love My Gadgets, 2016-04-14

### **--- "Needs tweaking, desktop version is better"
This app is amazing and sounds beautiful on the web/desktop version, but there's something wrong with this app version that makes the pitch way too high and the same super high notes play wayyy too often, making it sound annoying instead of calming and beautiful. Please fix it and I'll change my rating to 5 stars! :)
-- Zac K., 2015-12-05

### ***** "Perfect example of what community can do"
I play this each morning before I start my day to put me in a relaxed state.  It would be great yoga background music!
-- Leslie3579, 2015-07-11

### ***-- "So good but..."
I love to listen to this on my computer so I was glad to find that there was an app for it too. My only problem is that the pitch is higher than it is on the computer and it puts me a bit on edge
-- bamarox11, 2015-06-30

### ***** "Simply Beautiful"
This app is perfect for studying, relaxing, or for which to fall asleep. I use it a lot for going to bed. Really helps calm the mind because it is random enough, but not with too many different types of sound.
-- TheIggs, 2015-04-29

### ***-- "Needs lock screen functionality."
Amazing concept. But I think the app would be far more useful for background noise while working if the sounds continued to play while the phone is locked. Please tell me this is something you have in the works.  

Also, I feel like the noises are more high pitched than the normal website version.
-- CorvusCardinalis, 2015-04-24

### ****- "Soothing"
I love this. Greatest wish is for it to play in the background. This is a fantastic work soundtrack.
-- Allpraxis, 2015-04-23
