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.

Wikipedia has gotten me through many tough times. The modern day library of alexandria. I love you Wikipedia with all my heart from the bottom of my very soul. Also I really enjoy the bookmarks feature!

If Wikipedia has no fans, I am dead. I love you Wikipedia. If every single person in the world had this app and read one page a day we’d all be geniuses in under a year. Every single person who helped create and maintain Wikipedia should be proud of themselves with every waking moment.

Latest version seems to have been created just to make the search field appear sometimes at the top f the screen and sometimes at the bottom. Why????????????
