LoboWiki Reader for Wikipedia

LoboWiki is an unofficial reader for Wikipedia™, designed for Android 4+ phones.
The main idea behind LoboWiki is to allow users to read Wikipedia articles in a distraction-free manner. It means that all the links you click are added to the reading queue, instead of being immediately opened.

Use the swipe gesture to move between articles in your reading queue!

LoboWiki is designed to be to simple, clean and user friendly (it's Holo!). It's not going to be a full-blown research tool
- I'll focus on making it pleasure to use during longer, casual reading sessions.

WIKIPEDIA is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation™. We are not endorsed by or affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation.Content is available under CC BY-SA 3.0 unless otherwise noted.

The UI is currently available in English, Polish and Italian.

It's not optimized for tabet-sized devices!

Supported Wikipedia languages: English, Alemannisch, Azərbaycanca, Български, Česky, Dansk, Deutsch, eesti, euskara, español, français, hrvatski, Italiano, 日本語, Lietuvių, Latviešu, magyar, Nederlands, ‪norsk (nynorsk), ‪norsk (bokmål), polski, Português, română, Русский, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Türkçe, Українська

- it retrieves all the data and articles directly from Wikipedia and Wikimedia servers.

Please add a reader function

Marvellous piece of software with sleek interface and convenient article processing (adjustable font style and size, content navigation and auto-saving).

And. M. Jun 23, 2018     

I've been using this app every night for years! Perfectly simple. Great if you're a knowledge hound like me. Nice that I can export my links. Wish I could sort newest first.

Best Wikipedia browsing experience. Really nice job!

This is not just my favourite Wikipedia client. This is my favourite app in the Store! Excellent UI, magnificent usability with the background queuing links, and fast and efficient support from the developer. If it had a premium version, I'd buy it.

Has nice set of options and offline saving of articles. But there is no way to remove articles from list unless you open then and tick turn Read. After that no way to recover them too.

excellent navigation and customization, beautiful reading without excess complexity. Great support. Simply terrific for studying topics as they wander about on Wikipedia. The rendering is beautiful. Love the export links option with its Google Drive integration. I always go back to it when I want to study a topic in Wikipedia as it meanders across articles.

What I love the most about it is how it saves the the links for reading later on so you can continue with what you are reading. In essence it let's you have a reading list. Interface is simple no nonsense and easy and slick. Gets sliiiiightly buggy if you minimise and then click on an article sometimes (it jumps to a different article instead). One of my favourite APS.

Revolutionary queueing system and impeccable design principles allow for the most comfortable reading experience possible on Android. Strength in its simplicity and efficiency. Wishlist: bulk queue clearing capability.

Prz. Z. Feb 6, 2016     

This is one app I immediately install after switching to new device. Thanks Michal.

Ado. B. Nov 8, 2015     

Great and simple to use!

Ale. C. Jun 29, 2015     

Clicking a link opens that page in the background. No other reader I've seen does this! Great feature!

Edw. T. May 20, 2015     

Only issue is that sub and super scripts don't seem to render so reading scientific articles requires some guesswork! Would love this to be fixed

:P. W. May 17, 2015     

with the official apps getting good enough to meet our needs and the strong competitor wikireader. This is impressive lol. Though the market for this is... um. But thank you for this sharp app. I like it from the start.

Bry. C. Jan 8, 2014     

My saved articles look very pretty which I can always get back for future reference without the sake of toggling network buttons. Instead, I am sick of scrolling all way down for the latest ones: my reading progress returns back to the top after every search. Please do add sort by alphabets & descending dates. While also found articles hard to retrieve when they fragment into my flow of hundreds titles (even with replicates of the same title unfiltered), adding tags to them or else would be appreciated.

Tri. P. Jan 20, 2014     

I like every bit of this app, but... It uses a lot of battery/cpu even when i'm just reading one article. It just drains my phone so quick. And i can't find a way to sort or delete items from the main list.

Kir. K. May 7, 2014     

I like this app. I would have given it five complete stars if offline page caching is implemented for saved articles. I did not see that this feature is planned on the developer's Web sure. Hope this feature gets into his to do list.

Ala. C. Nov 1, 2014     

My main problem with the Wikipedia official app was that when you clicked on a link, it left the page you were reading, and went to the new one. I love that in LoboWiki you can queue articles in the background while still remaining on the one you are currently reading.

zko. Dec 8, 2014     

I used also Wikipedia application itself, but LoboWiki is simpler and more convenient. you can search topics beforehand at home-they are stored in search results and in case of limited wifi access or in a transport read them offline. night mode saves energy. pls add removing function to search results to sort them properly.

Dav. M. Feb 27, 2014     

Only improvement would be if it could act as the default Wikipedia client, so all links from other apps are directed there and added to my queue. 5* when it can do this!

Joh. M. Sep 8, 2014     

If history and offline queueing are implemented this would be as good as Wikipanion.... an app viewed jealously by many Android users. I'll give 5 stars and 5$ for those features.

Naj. O. Feb 2, 2014     

WOW. it's light and fast and as a person who doesn't have a 24/7 internet access, I consider the ability to save articles for offline reading a blessing. thanks for the app!

A. G. u. Feb 6, 2014     

This is a perfect example of a tool that solves a specific problem really elegantly without trying to do too many things.

Ame. G. Jan 20, 2014     

Pretty good..has necessary features.. Small and simple

Phi. R. Jun 11, 2014     

Great app. Would like to see it save reading position in articles instead of resetting to the top.

A. G. u. Dec 22, 2014     

has all the functions others require pro for and had no ads

A. G. u. Feb 16, 2014     

Without a doubt this is the best Wikipedia application. I would pay for this.

Den. M. Oct 26, 2013     

This could be exactly what I'm looking, simple with good queue mgt, etc - BUT, with the justified text extending to the very edge of the screen I find it unreadable. Font size and style settings don't help. With a little whitespace and maybe left aligned text it would be perfect!

A. G. u. Feb 6, 2014     

Nothing can come closer to this app providing a better Wikipedia experience. But the readability could be vastly be improved if the left and right margins are increased such that every single line could fit in one glance. Making it customizable would suit to everybody.
