What users are saying

1. Wikipedia stands amongst the greatest achievements of the digital age, and this app does it justice.They're busy formation is there Wikipedia Beta I love my dictionaryExplore feed: Recommended and constantly-updating Wikipedia content right on the home screen, including current events, trending articles, events on this day in history, suggested reading, and more.

2. Color themes: With a choice of Light, Dark, and Black themes, as well as text .Best version ever! Thanks, Wikipedia, this is beautiful, with a search function that can reveal basic information, then places on the page that can open into articles or whole new websites.

3. I thought this would not, perhaps, happen on Wikipedia Beta, but I was so wrong—same issue on both apps—when you try to edit any article on Wikipedia with either beta or non-beta, the font will suddenly increases every 5-15 seconds to the point you cannot edit anymore.Wikipedia is a great encyclopedia app.

4. I love the beta version especially because it is very functional and features a lot of cool ways to edit and browse Wikipedia in a smooth and bug-free manner with ease.

5. Thank you to everybody involved in making this app!!!I switched to Wikipedia Beta from Wikipedia on my android phone only because when editing an article on Wikipedia, the font on the page suddenly increases in size without prompt until there is one big character per line.

6. I especially like the beta version because it is incredibly useful and has a lot of innovative methods to modify and explore Wikipedia in a seamless and bug-free manner.

7. I would love to see some of the more advanced tools incorporated into this app, i.e. tools from the Wikipedia Auto editor for example.

8. As it sits, this app is cool.Absolutely amazing application for using Wikipedia on Android.

9. Excellent application for using Wikipedia on Android.

10. I'd like to see some of the more advanced capabilities, such as those from the Wikipedia Auto editor, included into this software.

11. I highly recommend this app to you all and it's one of my favourites!Almost unuseable on Galaxy, jumps around the page when you try to insert the cursor, text suddenly resizes to huge, paste deletes part of the text, typing is very slow to register on screen.
