It’s my go-to reference

By Johntechwriter (Pcmac user)

As a technical writer I’m constantly researching aspects of the technology products I document. There are informational sites available for specialized subjects, and I know which are the most reliable. But for general interest or biographical topics, I usually fall back on this app. Considering its content is the product of thousands of volunteer authors, this app's high standard of article construction, consistent writing style (not too academic, but rather from the “plain English” school), and nearly flawless grammar and exposition — along with its unmatched range of subjects — has made this app my go-to reference. I prefer the app over the website version because it enables me to fine-tune the formatting of articles, including text size and background tint, and it enables me to archive articles for future reference. Along with its well-crafted articles, this app's comprehensive bibliographies, complete with active links, add credibility to the articles and make deeper digging about the subject that much easier. That it is essentially free to all (though I am happy to be a donor and hope others will donate, too), and that its content is accessible in many languages, makes this app one of the web's outstanding resources. Everyone involved with this app should take great pride in what they have given us.
Wikipedia app is very good. I like it!

By SnaiDog (Pcmac user)

This app is really good! This app is really good like source of information if you know what you need/want or at least about what you need/want to know. It’s not app where you can go to home page and see interesting article. You need to search article which you need so you need to know its name. It is not a news app, yes it has a news section, but there are not much news and it is very difficult to find news on a particular topic in which you are interested, for example, there you can filter news by country but results will be really bad. It is not news app, but it’s good source of information. This app also like the website supports many languages. It’s an international app. Full list of supported languages you can find in the app description. But some people say that this app is not accurate source of information. Partially I agree with this statement because anyone can edit or create an article in this app, so for scientists this source is not good. Also in different languages this app has different articles with a little bit different information. OK, let’s summarize, this app is the best in its class of apps where you can find information about different topics. In my opinion this app app is very good. I like it!
Excellent

By Trigeminy6 (Pcmac user)

Used for years and the information I receive is very useful and accurate. It is where other servers have learned to direct me. I use it daily now and gradually got here since 1996. The critiques are already accomplished by many others over the decades and I mostly agree. Except I have noticed that too many non critical thinkers do not have much experience, but discount the encyclopedia outright as “teachers” not recommending the site to “students”. Since I have been given gifts of critical thinking from my parents and siblings and experience, and reviewing data, it is almost always a direction I would take that if someone said not to do XYZ .. and especially, in this case, not to read or use such, it is precisely where I would go to start a search. Happily I am. bmthomp
Thank You Wikipedia

By sorry4ever (Pcmac user)

I love this app. Period. Why? Because it is a tremendous, humongous, reference which provides a vast amount of information and knowledge. It's like having an encyclopedia in your pocket. The app itself is easy to use, free, and there are many uses for it. It's my constant companion, in addition to the World Wide Web. My thinking is, and I could be wrong, instead of having to ask for donations, why not just have a small charge to purchase the app? It's possible that, because this app is an organization, they aren't allowed to charge for the app. In that case, I suppose that it's best to ask for a donation. In any case, it's not mandatory, but it is nice to be able to donate. I am hoping that this app will be around forever. Thank you, this app and this app developers.
