the video player is a bit buggy, i'd like to be able to listen to TED videos i've downloaded in the background/when my phone screen is off, but after a little while in picture in picture mode it stops the playback. dark mode would also be great in text articles. this is a very important app to exist and the state it exists in now is great! but it could be perfect

This is by far the best offline Wikipedia application. It is free, it is regularly updated, and the server/s/ supports very decent download speeds. Suggestion: the developers should look into making it possible to download some images and integrate them into the image-free file, thus saving space and yet making some images available. How about downloading them from the page of the on-line Wikipedia I am currently browsing or had visited in the past. Maybe for that Kiwix will need to become also an on-line Wikipedia browser? (You browse Wikipedia in the Kiwix, it asks you 'do you want to download images from this page into your offline Wikipedia file? You answer 'yes' and images are downloaded. Also, if the browsed page is not in the offline file, it is downloaded and integrated.)Otherwise, even without this suggestion, Kiwix is a great app.

Even though this takes up 50gb for me, it's much worth it. You can read about the history of poptarts, random grammatical rules, or really just anything on the internet, without the internet. I highly recommend Kiwix to anyone with a few dozen gigabytes to store, especially if they don't have a reliable internet connection. I'd also like to add that if it crashes a lot while searching, switch to "Matches" for your search engine, it takes longer but i find it to be more reliable, more accurate, and crash a lot less.

I remember feeling like I've found a diamond when got into this application. It's the best offline wiki reader I could find. The idea is really great — you get the option to download wiki (more sources available) in multiple languages, and with different sizes that depends of the article numbers you desire. Those are real great features. Still, I have a weird bug that happens to me sometimes when the app is not willing to work at all. It opens but all I have is a white screen. Giving five stars only because out of all offline storage apps this is the best one. Couple more bug fixes is not a problem I think. Good job.

Zim is great for offline storing, but the ui took a while to figure out. For example, I wanted to delete a file. Since I couldn’t find a delete button, I went into the files app and manually deleted it, but it still didn’t go away. Then after a while, I realized I had to long press tabs and hit library and then long press the file and hit unlink. My sister, who installed it for bulbapedia because she plays emulators offline, deleted it in one second because she couldn’t figure anything out, and then I had to install it and do everything for her.

I’ve been a long-time user of Kiwix and have found it incredibly useful. However, after the recent update, I’ve noticed a significant issue: searching for Chinese entries often yields no results. This is a major problem for users who rely on the app for accessing Chinese content. I hope the developers can address this issue promptly, as it greatly affects the usability of the app for Chinese-speaking users.
