66% OFF WITH TwoDollarTues! ONE TIME SALE!

Wiki Offline delivers the premium reading experience for the entire corpus of human knowledge. This premiere service is the result of collaboration with over 1000 users just like you. Join the myriad of scientists, teachers, frequent flyers, vacationers, parents, and knowledge lovers whose lives have been improved by Wiki Offline.

Upon launching the app, you will be prompted to download Wikipedia onto your device. EVERY article will be available for you with no internet connection required. It has been meticulously compressed (English is under 3GB) while maintaining all of the data in every single article. (Note that pictures and tables are not included, but can be downloaded from within the app). This download is fully resumable and hosted on high speed servers located around the world.

Wikipedia databases are offered in several different languages: English, Chinese, Italian, Arabic, Czech, Spanish, Russian, Dutch, Portuguese, Norwegian, Turkish, Thai, Polish, French, Hungarian, Farsi, Japanese, Hebrew, Korean, Swedish, Danish, and Slovak.

ADDITIONAL DATABASES & UPDATES

Out of the box, each user can download one language database. To accommodate users who have requested multiple databases and the ability to update the database periodically, we have utilized the new Lion In-App Purchase mechanism. Note that this requires OSX Lion 10.7+

For a nominal fee to support bandwidth costs, users can elect to subscribe (via in-app purchase) to additional databases. This one-time purchase per language allows the user to download this additional language on all of their computers that run the app, and gives them the ability to download future updates to this additional purchased language.

Database update or download no longer works

This was a good app. I liked the idea of having wikipedia available offline when I am travelling.

Unfortunately database update no longer works (very slow download and then it goes into an infinite loop downloading the files).

I uninstalled the app, and then reainstalled it from Mac App Store. The first thing it does then is to try to download the database.
Unfortunately the downloading of the database does not work. The download speed is most of the time 0 B/s with occational peaks up to 112 B/s. (The predicted download time varies, but is mot of the time between 4000 hours and 7000 hours.) Yet I am connected with a GB ethernet to a fast fibre connection to the internet. The problem is not my line to the internet, the problem is either this specific app, or the download server(s) that it is using.

A UX nightmare

This app is, in a nutshell, the perfect counter-example for everything you should *not* do in a cocoa app. It forgets the window size that you pick for it every time it starts up. Esc does not close windows as it should. And most egregiously, pressing "enter" does not behave as expected in the search field. Weird looking popups and empty windows abound.

Simply put, it's a sloppy app. I wish the author had really paid more attention to the fine details.

Pictures

It says in the text: ”Note that pictures and tables are not included, but can be downloaded, but can be downloaded from within the app”, but were do I do this? Great app anyway (exempt for unexpected chrashes).
