This could be a great app, but why can't I turn off the swipe to delete article in the saved list. There's gotta be a better way that doesn't have the potential of deleting an article just because you move your finger a little too much when intending to select it. If you don't have a connection (e.g., on a flight), you just lost it until you can connect again.

Wikipedia is an excellent app for quickly learning about a wide range of topics. The articles are detailed, easy to read, and available in multiple languages, making the app useful for students and general knowledge. The interface is clean, lightweight, and mostly free from distractions. However, since articles can be edited by anyone, some information may occasionally be incomplete or outdated. Overall, it’s one of the best free sources for information and learning.

Honestly speaking, Wikipedia is the only and best app that allows us to find true, reliable information and do our educational work freely without any ads. Thank you so much! I am giving this app a 5 out of 5-star rating. If there were more stars, I would have given even more. Yes, seriously, this is the best app ever.💯💯💯💯
