★ ★ ★ Kiwix Overview

       

What is Kiwix? Kiwix is an app that allows you to access Wikipedia and other websites without an internet connection. You can download the Kiwix program from the iTunes App Store and then download the ZIM data files which contain the content.



Software Features and Description

1. A faster and more reliable method is to use a computer to download the small torrent file for the large non-indexed ZIM file you want (not the pre-indexed package for Windows) from then use a bit-torrent client (such a qTorrent) to download the actual ZIM data file to your computer.

2. You can download these files directly using the Kiwix App on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch - but this might take a long time, may incur expensive charges for the download, and is liable to errors because some files are rather large.

3. Kiwix enables you to have the whole of Wikipedia (and many other web sites) available wherever you go! On a boat, in the middle of nowhere, or when data charges are too high, Kiwix gives you access to the whole human knowledge for free.

4. Download the Kiwix program from the iTunes App Store then download the ZIM data files which contain the content.

5. You can then transfer the ZIM file to your iOS device using iTunes File Sharing.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Makes the world a better place

    By BunduDave (Pcmac user)

    This is one of those apps that everyone should be talking about. It does an excellent job of bringing Jimmy Wales' Wikipedia knowledge to people who don't have easy internet access. I aplaud the people behind it. Apple needs to have a special link for Apps like this that make the world a better place.
  • Such a great resource!

    By wrw1963 (Pcmac user)

    I travel to a lot of remote areas, where there is no internet access. Being able to have a copy of ALL of Wikipedia on my iPhone is so helpful! There are also a lot of other libraries available, like Wiktionary and Wikiquote!
  • Perfect for traveling

    By Suricata Whitewater (Pcmac user)

    I use this to act as a tour guide on my international travels. As we drive around in our rental car, I can look up articles about the places, animals, people nearby and read the good bits to my travel companions.
  • Awesome offline viewer!

    By Blackopzy (Pcmac user)

    Overall, this app is user-friendly, and it’s come in handy a surprising amount of times. It’s also fun to browse when I’m bored. One suggestion, can we get a dark theme/night mode?
