I've got those infos with best resoluted photos I can't even imagine. The historical dates and records are clearly mentioned but still 5 as it has the best accent with mostly all languages and everything, every record world wide. so it's like the best encyclopedia a historian, teacher and a seeker should be advised to get.

I donated a nominal fee for total access. It's a fabulous app and Wikipedia is so much more accurate than when it was introduced years ago, if you are over 40 you know what I mean. It was confusing and highly inaccurate most of the time. Happily surprised here.

I love the app. Wish there was a way to see top 5 headlines of each country (region) of choosing based on latest trends or priority (urgency like weather alarms etc.) Thanks for the app.

Great Resource. If you use Wiki, pls donate to the foundation. Millions of people do research on Wikipedia but very few financially support it. It is a free-to-anyone service but, of course, it does have expenses. Thx!

Genuinely one of the best apps i've ever installed. Almost entirely replaced Google as my go-to mobile search engine (besides situations where I need information on something *extremely* niche.)
