About this app

Imagine being able to store the entirety of Wikipedia on your phone, and browsing it anytime, anywhere, even when there is no connectivity. Fully offline! For free!

Kiwix is a browser that downloads, stores and reads copies of your favourite educational websites - Wikipedia, TED talks, Stack Exchange, and thousands more in dozens of languages.

Note: Kiwix is also available on regular computers (Windows, Mac, Linux) as well as on Raspberry Pi hotspots - more info at kiwix.org. Kiwix is a non-profit and displays no ads nor collects any data. Only donations from happy users keep us going :-)

7 Jun update crashes repeatedly. Even in old "working" versions, Android UI is terrible. If you want Wikipedia, you're first confronted with a list of thousands of niche libraries that cannot be quickly scrolled. Wikipedia is of course at the bottom, and offered in hundreds of languages, most obscure, and not quite in alphabetical order. Good luck finding English! Unfortunately, a search for "Wikipedia English" returns zero results. Best bet is to select a language in Settings and browse.

Dear Brent, Kiwix should not crash and we would really like to understand why. Would you like to help us to fix it by opening a bug at https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues/new/choose. That would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

I want to give the app 5 stars, but it is missing a wide variety of improvements...things that would make this app more usable. Let me just list them. Fyi, I'm using a Galaxy S9+ 1. Downloads won't keep downloading unless the downloads tab is open (regardless of settings) 2. Is it possible to open the app on just the main library and not the last article I opened? (personal preference) 3. Disorganized. I'm very thankful there are a ton of choices, but they all seem out of order; by category/language/size, etc. There needs to be a better way to sort through the files (both library and downloadable content tab. Also, can we get check marks to choose multiple things to download instead of repeatedly clicking back to the "online" tab? 4. There should be a way to control downloads more (sort, download settings, speed settings, etc).I want to be able to set one download at a time by default, for example. 5. Constant crashing when pausing/unpausing downloads 6. Can we get a % completed option on the downloads page? Anyway, I really do love this app, but I feel it still needs work. I'm going to continue to use it and use my workarounds. Thank you developers for the effort.

Normally a fan but its not working on my new phone. Worked fine on my s9 but it will not find my ZIM files on my S10 even though they're stored in the same place as the last phone. Wish there was a way I could manually tell it which file to pull from. Edit: I tried taking the sim card from my s9 and putting it in my s10 and still nothing. It makes no sense how this app works fine on my old phone and can't work on the next one despite running the same version of the app. Very bummed.
