Description
This is an application that searches and displays the full text of Wikipedia and its sister projects by language. This makes it easier to find what you want to know even if the keywords are ambiguous. In addition, while the web only displays one article at a time, this app displays multiple articles, providing a different experience from the web.
Currently, you can search Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wikibooks, and Wikiquote. A single search will list one screen at a time. You can also add more results one screen at a time with more searches. If you search without keywords, a random list is displayed for one screen. Articles can be bookmarked, and the search history can be viewed up to the latest 50 articles.
What’s New
Version 6.0
Bug fixes.
Supported versions are now iOS 17 and above.
Since this is a major version upgrade, bookmarks, history, and language selection order will not be carried over.
Ratings and Reviews
Good 👍
This app is a nice interface/wrapper to the official website.
I see one thing that should be improved. When you type something in the search box, you have to press the x button to the right or delete the previous search terms manually by holding down Backspace.
Can the existing search terms be automatically highlighted when you go back to the search screen so that you can just start typing without having to erase the previous search terms? That would be ideal. Thank you 🙏🏼
uh
this is a cool idea but I don't think anyone is going to use some of those super obscure languages
