Description
Kiwix enables you to have the whole of Wikipedia (and many other web sites) available wherever you go! On a boat, in the middle of nowhere, or when data charges are too high, Kiwix gives you access to the whole human knowledge for free. You don't need Internet, everything is stored on your mobile device!
Download the Kiwix program from the iTunes App Store then download the ZIM data files which contain the content. You can download these files directly using the Kiwix App on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
What’s New

Ratings and Reviews
Back again
After fixing the bug which made this app unusable it works agin perfectly.
Nice idea, badly implemented
The people behind this app would do well to let someone who actually uses it point out all the flaws. For example, managing the library once a collection is added is somehow hidden behind a long press of the mystical “box with lines above it” button (which otherwise shows which tabs I’ve unknowingly opened). The consistency of the authors has to be praised though: removing bookmarks is achieved through a similarly obscure interaction with one of the other enigmatic buttons on the bottom of the screen. And what did “random article” do to deserve its prominence? Given its usability the app’s price is fair though.
Offline resources
Great for travel, references and learning in the go.
