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.
👍 Clean, Smooth & Organized
The reading is light, for even the complete heaviest subjects!
They keep blocking me from editing for an invalid reason
They keep blocking me and making me depressed please delete this app
Highly political!
I used this app for years but finally had enough!
If you look at updates to articles you’ll see that many of the new additions to articles have a strong political bias.
For those who just want unbiased information britannica.com might be a better option.
LEFTIST Slants on EVERYTHING!
Exercise discretion….
Stop Discriminating Against the ADL

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.
Antisemitism
Cancel all donations and further use of this website. I am sorely disappointed in what I have heard about what I thought was a fair unbiased place for information
Antisemitic
Wikipedia said the ADL is not a trusted expert on antisemitism because user Ishtar234 and a band of gentiles decided that they had the privilege of defining antisemitism.
The app has become politicized and a source of misinformation.
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 articles on the app as much as I used to, either.
