About LoboWiki Reader for Wikipedia

LoboWiki is an unofficial reader for Wikipedia™, designed for Android 4+ phones.

The main idea behind LoboWiki is to allow users to read Wikipedia articles in a distraction-free manner. It means that all the links you click are added to the reading queue, instead of being immediately opened.

Use the swipe gesture to move between articles in your reading queue!

LoboWiki is designed to be to simple, clean and user friendly (it's Holo!). It's not going to be a full-blown research tool - I'll focus on making it pleasure to use during longer, casual reading sessions.

WIKIPEDIA is a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation™. We are not endorsed by or affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation.
Content is available under CC BY-SA 3.0 unless otherwise noted.

The UI is currently available in English, Polish and Italian.

It's not optimized for tabet-sized devices!

Supported Wikipedia languages: English, Alemannisch, Azərbaycanca, Български, Česky, Dansk, Deutsch, eesti, euskara, español, français, hrvatski, Italiano, 日本語, Lietuvių, Latviešu, magyar, Nederlands, ‪norsk (nynorsk), ‪norsk (bokmål), polski, Português, română, Русский, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Türkçe, Українська

LoboWiki does not collect any user data and personal information. It does not use any proxy servers - it retrieves all the data and articles directly from Wikipedia and Wikimedia servers.

I use this every night. Wish I could export/import my queue and sometimes tables/images don't show up correctly in the dark theme... but otherwise it's great.

Q70%
by Q####:

This is not just my favourite Wikipedia client. This is my favourite app in the Store! Excellent UI, magnificent usability with the background queuing links, and fast and efficient support from the developer. If it had a premium version, I'd buy it.

B70%
by B####:

Has nice set of options and offline saving of articles. But there is no way to remove articles from list unless you open then and tick turn Read. After that no way to recover them too.

L70%

Very good

U70%
by U####:

with the official apps getting good enough to meet our needs and the strong competitor wikireader. This is impressive lol. Though the market for this is... um. But thank you for this sharp app. I like it from the start.

Q70%

This is a perfect example of a tool that solves a specific problem really elegantly without trying to do too many things.

Q70%
by Q####:

has all the functions others require pro for and had no ads

N70%
by N####:

Nothing can come closer to this app providing a better Wikipedia experience. But the readability could be vastly be improved if the left and right margins are increased such that every single line could fit in one glance. Making it customizable would suit to everybody.

T70%
by T####:

My new favorite wiki app

D70%
by D####:

excellent navigation and customization, beautiful reading without excess complexity. Great support. Simply terrific for studying topics as they wander about on Wikipedia. The rendering is beautiful. Love the export links option with its Google Drive integration. I always go back to it when I want to study a topic in Wikipedia as it meanders across articles.

T70%
by T####:

Revolutionary queueing system and impeccable design principles allow for the most comfortable reading experience possible on Android. Strength in its simplicity and efficiency. Wishlist: bulk queue clearing capability.

M70%
by M####:

What I love the most about it is how it saves the the links for reading later on so you can continue with what you are reading. In essence it let's you have a reading list. Interface is simple no nonsense and easy and slick. Gets sliiiiightly buggy if you minimise and then click on an article sometimes (it jumps to a different article instead). One of my favourite APS.

Clicking a link opens that page in the background. No other reader I've seen does this! Great feature!

N70%
by N####:

Only issue is that sub and super scripts don't seem to render so reading scientific articles requires some guesswork! Would love this to be fixed

Add Hindi and Marathi languages.

Z70%
by Z####:

I used also Wikipedia application itself, but LoboWiki is simpler and more convenient. you can search topics beforehand at home-they are stored in search results and in case of limited wifi access or in a transport read them offline. night mode saves energy. pls add removing function to search results to sort them properly.

Great app..keep it updated with more features

V70%
by V####:

My main problem with the Wikipedia official app was that when you clicked on a link, it left the page you were reading, and went to the new one. I love that in LoboWiki you can queue articles in the background while still remaining on the one you are currently reading.

Very innovative concept..deserve 5 points. Need more features like default wiki app to open external links and keep screen on while reading...

by R####:

Please include an option to save n share the loaded page... that will make the app excellent and much more useful...
