This is hot garbage!!! It's f***ing frustrating! When I opened the app and it's says that the app is terminated! Oh god darn it! Please update it and fix this bug! Or I will kill the entire app!!!
Samsung galaxy note 20 ultra app STILL not functioning... It worked but quit working ages ago and developers have done NFA.
Works well but can we have an option to download to the cloud of our choice like dropbox?

NOT OPENING KIWIZ ZIP WIKIPEDIA 73 GB FILE .PLEASE IMPROVE THIS APP . NOT WORKING . SIZE MISMATCH UNZIP FAILED . NOT WORKING . I DOWNLOADED 94 GB NEW USERS WIKIPEDIA WITH PICTURES . BUT NOT WORKING AFTER DOWNLOAD . FILE SIZE MISMATCH UNZIP FAILED AND BAD HASH PROBLEMS
Terminated
something wrongs with "read in other languages"
PLEASE GIVE YOUR CONTACT NUMBER URGENT . my 98 gb wikipedia is not working i downloaded complete 98 gb new users pictures wikipedia but no search happening
I use this on my laptop for research and this mobile adaptation doesn't disappoint! Works perfectly. My only gripe is that downloading the English wikipedia is 50 GB, space I don't have on my phone.
Hey! I couldn't import the files, while I went through all steps, what's is wrong here?
AWESOME! x) Never forget to donate to Wiki !! By the way, I was doing an error, I opened it after installation; in some devices, this might associate some hyperlinks of device's paths and it can give some errors if one doesn't' "force stop"(close), then presses "clear data" and moves to "SD storage" when some data has already been created by the app at first launch. But this is common to all software on the planet and should be obvious; negative reviews aren't reliable.
I can go on vacation and read up on the countries' histories on flight. UPDATE: download pauses whenever I switch between applications. is this normal? is there a feature to download continuously in the background?
Currently, the only options are Simple Wikipedia at about 500MB and (Full?) Wikipedia at about 30GB. It would be nice if there were varying complexity options at 5GB, 10GB and 20GB with the greater the size of data, the greater amount of common wikipedia articles.
Requires internet connection to SEARCH - beats the entire purpose of this app. Super buggy, doesn't work after you tried it offline; refuses to start; multiple crashes... reboot the phone, finally I get the option to "start over" which brings me back to the endless problem loop described above.
Very hard to use
The whole human knowledge, in this single app. I couldn't ask for more. Too good to be true. I can't understand why some users couldn't follow simple instructions. The app itself is good. I wanted to donate to its developers but don't know how. Please let me. I am too satisfied with your work!
Seems to have issues on both the Android and windows 64 versions, at the verification stage of any English wiki, but overall very nice, an old Linux 64 version worked on an old computer I have. Also definitely needs a "download in background, with screen off" option.
