User Reviews

Users generally view Wikipedia as a trusted, resourceful app with in-app history and reading lists and good iOS integration, plus a privacy-conscious stance. However, many reviews cite persistent search problems, frequent freezes and UI glitches, and navigation friction after updates. Some note content-bias concerns and desire for improved features like font support and editing transparency. Overall, reliability and usability improvements appear to be the dominant needs alongside continued emphasis on privacy and source verification.

Pros

Widely used and trusted resource with in-app features like history and reading lists, and strong iOS integration.
Transparency about sources and article edits, letting users verify citations and edit history.
Privacy-conscious approach, with user reviews noting limited data tracking and no selling of data.

Cons

Unreliable search experience after updates: search bar moved, extra clicks required, and results often poor or unrelated.
Frequent performance problems including freezing, glitches during scrolling, and startup delays.
UI/UX changes create navigation friction: readability issues, no collapsible sections, and removal of the Explorer tab.
Privacy concerns about data storage/tracking within the app.
Perceived bias in content and editorial framing.

Recent reviews

I love that now when I press the magnifying glass button, it doesn’t immediately let me search, it instead shows me my history, and makes me press the magnifying glass *again* in order to search. This is a super intelligent design feature and not at all stupid. Superfluous extra steps are super cool!

-It would be great if the articles near you map had a widget form -A setting to close tabs automatically after a time would also be nice I have had no problems with anything else and this is my favorite app on my phone.
