"Wikipedia directly in your smartphone"

Reviewed by: Anna Grace / Jun 27, 2011

Search for things in a easier way

This application allows you to access to Wikipedia directly and easily from your device.

You can start by setting your language (from more than 30 different ones) and your text size. The app will remember your preferences the next time you open the App. It's also possible to select and copy text.

However, not everything is perfect; the app doesn't have page history and every time you have access to it, it returns to the main page, which can be pretty annoying if you didn't finish reading the entry.
Besides that, Wiki Encyclopedia is a really useful app, perfect for having in your smartphone and much easier and quicker than having to use the Internet. Additional features such as Voice Search are also included.

This application was developed by Wiki apps, creators of other similar apps and the paid version of this one. Be sure to have it in your smartphone!

    And it's how when u click a link to go to another page and then go back to the original page, it collapses the section and you have to expand the section and find ur place again. Fix for 5 stars!!!
